Abstract: Student inattention in classrooms negatively impacts learning outcomes and academic performance, posing a significant challenge for educators. Traditional methods of monitoring engagement rely on subjective teacher observations, which can be inconsistent, labor-intensive, and prone to bias. To address these limitations, this paper presents an AI-driven framework that uses deep learning and behavioral analysis to detect... More

Abstract: This study responds to the growing pedagogical interest in optimizing communicative competence within English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom interaction by investigating a critical, yet under-explored, domain, the interactional trouble sources that initiate conversation breakdown. Grounded in a Conversation Analytical (CA) framework, the research methodology utilizes a hybrid approach: CA modeling for the micro-analysis... More

Abstract: The National High School Exam (ENEM) is central to social mobility in Brazil, yet it functions within a landscape of deep-seated territorial imbalances. This study shifts the focus toward "digital capital" to evaluate how disparate levels of technological access across Brazil’s five geographic regions correlate with candidate success. Through a longitudinal analysis of INEP microdata... More

Abstract: The rapid expansion of generative artificial intelligence has significantly transformed students' learning practices, particularly in the completion of homework assignments. Since the public release of ChatGPT, concerns have emerged regarding its pedagogical value, potential academic dependency, and implications for academic integrity. This study investigates the extent and forms of ChatGPT use among lower and upper... More

Abstract: Teachers' instructional practices, preparation, and literacy-based professional development (PD) support are crucial in developing the skills and practices necessary to facilitate children's successful literacy development. Traditionally, English Language Arts (ELA) teachers receive literacy-based PD through training techniques, but research has shown that instructional coaching is more effective as PD for teachers. In developing countries, teacher... More

Abstract: Underperformance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in the United States is a persistent problem, with disparities most pronounced among women and certain minorities. Standardized testing remains the primary proficiency measure, yet traditional remedial curricula have produced limited gains. Prior research suggests that technology-enhanced, gamification-infused lessons within an innovative pedagogical framework may be... More
