Alina Arseniev-Koehler – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
Measuring meaning is a central problem in cultural sociology and word embeddings may offer powerful new tools to do so. But like any tool, they build on and exert theoretical assumptions. In this paper, I theorize the ways in which word embeddings model three core premises of a structural linguistic theory of meaning: that meaning is coherent,…

David Coady – Educational Theory, 2024
It is widely believed that we are facing a problem, even a crisis, caused by so-called "echo chambers" and "filter bubbles." Here, David Coady argues that this belief is mistaken.

Dennis A. Rivera; Mariane Frenay; Magali Paquot – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Forums in massive open online courses (MOOCs) enable written exchanges on course content; hence, they can potentially facilitate learners' cognitive engagement.

Oleksandra Poquet – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
The paper argues that learning analytics as a research field can benefit from a theory-informed shared language to describe sensemaking of learning and teaching data. To make the case for such shared language, first, I critically review prominent sensemaking theories to then demonstrate how studies in learning analytics do not use coherent…

We found a preference for PFL (64.68%) over IFL (15.83%) when considering aggregated, within-journal breakdowns (with abstracts using…
