... The research on the analysis method of classroom teaching behavior mainly focuses on the preparation of scales, among which the most famous scales are Flanders interactive analysis system (Flanders, 1963) and S-T analytical method (Fu & Zhang, 2001). The Flanders interactive analysis system uses a set of coding systems and uses teacher-student language interaction in the classroom as the analysis element to grasp the law and essence of classroom teaching. ...

... In the current study VERP was used alongside the Engagement Profile and Scale. The Engagement Profile and Scale was developed by Barry Carpenter in association with the Special Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) as a classroom tool to direct teachers towards determining the level of a child's engagement in school and to help create a personalised learning environment for a child (Carpenter, 2010). It allows teachers to record and monitor changes to the level of the student's engagement in the areas of awareness, initiation, curiosity, persistence, investigation, anticipation and discovery. ...

... Educational technologists have previously developed some tools to support visualization demands associated with students' statistical inquiry that leverage children's intuitions. Examples include agent-based modeling tools and participatory simulations where students play the role of individual data points or obtain data samples [27], [28], and computational minitools [29]. In addition, there have been data visualization tools for children that depict inspectable data points that can be manipulated through direct interface controls, such as drag and drop. ...

... New fields of study acknowledge the inter-connection between our psychological health and the natural world. Ecopsychology suggests that "the illusion of separation" between humans and nature is the cause of widespread ecological devastation and untold human suffering (Davis, 2006). Terrapsychology explores the relationship between the earth, our psyches, and culture, suggesting that geographical patterns influence the development of ideas, relationships, and our sense of self (Chalquist, 2007). ...

... 38). This theory positions learning as a process of human adaptation driven by the resolution between action/reflection and experience/abstraction (Kolb & Kolb, 2012). To transform an experience into learning, individuals begin with a concrete experience, reflect on their observations of the experience, comprehend the experience through abstract conceptualization, and then actively experiment with concepts generated by the experience (Kolb, 1984;Lutterman-Aguilar & Gingerich, 2002). ...

... Si les contraintes sont munies de propagateur GAC, le principe ne dépend pas de l'ordre dans lequel ces propagations sont effectuées. Il est possible de générer avec un nombre linéaire d'étapes des ensemble en conflits minimaux au sens de l'inclusion[69] (ou encore logarithmique en procédant par dichotomie). Sachant que chaque ensemble en conflit engendrera au moins une violation, par une génération d'ensemble disjoints on peut obtenir une borne inférieure du nombre de contraintes violées. ...

... Applying an evolutionary epistemological jargon [162][163][164][165], it is safe to say that human beings today come with a biologically-evolved expectation to live in an oxygen-rich environment, and their gastro-intestinal tract as well as entire bodies expect to become populated with microbial communities, some of which will enable the digestion of food provided by the environments, others will be harmful for which the human body is or will be able to develop immunity. Equally, Hawaiian bobtail squids [117] come with a biochemically programmed expectation to find luminescent bacteria that will colonize their light organs, as well as induce post-translational epigenetic and morphological changes to it. ...

... Though what is available for VYL in EFL contexts is mostly of the last sort, it is often only the first two types, typically based on secondary school or university learners, that are recognised and valued in academic discussion of educational issues. There is widespread feeling around the world these days that teaching should be 'evidence based' (EBT) (Petty, 2009). That means, teaching should be based on proper, relevant, research, typically assumed to be generalised quantitative studies. ...

Teacher feedback focusing on effort, improvement over time, and individual performance is likely to have a positive impact not only on students' mathematics self-concept O'Mara et al., 2006) but also on achievement emotions (Pekrun, 2016) and interest (Kaplan & Partick, 2016;Kiemer et al., 2015). In contrast, uninformative and controlling feedback (Deci et al., 1999;Tsai et al., 2008), and feedback endorsing social comparison or competition, may not only impede learning but also undermine intrinsic motivation (including interest) and threaten positive self-evaluations (Brophy, 2011;Marsh & Craven, 1997;Pekrun, 2016;Ryan & Deci, 2017). ...

It is noted how every next turn in the communication process displays a particular understanding of the preceding turn and thereby realizes the unity of the three selections information, utterance and understanding [51]. The analysis of video records of conversations depicts the phrases that identify violations of understanding. ...
