Recently, interaction between humans and dialog systems has become increasingly common and sophisticated. Humans establish good relationships with others using various linguistic considerations (e.g., politeness and speech level) in dialog. However,...
This paper explores dialogical currents in Jung’s analytical psychology, with reference to contemporary theories of the dialogical self. The dialogical self is a notion that has gained increasing currency in psychology since the 1990s, in response to...
In this article, we elaborate on the role of dialogical learning in identity formation in the context of environmental education. First, we distinguish this kind of learning from conditioning and reproductive learning. We also show that identity lear...
Augmented reality, augmented television and second screen are cutting edge technologies that provide end users extra and enhanced information related to certain events in real time. This enriched information helps users better understand such events,...
In this article, I introduce and develop a logic of dialogue and reciprocity as distinguished from a logic of reflection. I argue that interreligious dialogue is not only desirable, but logically necessary for two reasons: one, the logic of dialogue...
The importance of dialogical space and its various forms, useful in philosophical counseling, has been emphasized in recent discourse. The discourse primarily focuses on various aspects of the exchange between the counselee and the counselor in the f...
Dialogic pedagogy has been explored by researchers at length in the 21st century. Focusing on the interactions between teachers and children and the underlying epistemological values that these interactions signal, a growing body of research has iden...

Visual dialog is a challenging vision-language task in which a series of questions visually grounded by a given image are answered. To resolve the visual dialog task, a high-level understanding of various multimodal inputs (e.g., question, dialog his...
A visual dialog task entails an agent engaging in a multiple round conversation about an image. Notably, one of the main issues is capturing the semantic associations of multiple inputs, such as the questions, dialog history, and image features. Many...

We explored the value of adding NLP adaptive dialogs to a web-based, inquiry unit on photosynthesis and cellular respiration designed following the Knowledge Integration (KI) framework. The unit was taught by one science teacher in seventh grade midd...
Target-oriented dialog explores how a dialog agent connects two topics cooperatively and coherently, which aims to generate a “bridging” utterance connecting the new topic to the previous conversation turn. The central focus of this task...
The prevailing consensus is that science teaching should be more student-centered and guide learners towards more phenomenon-based and authentic problem-solving activities. This approach is reflected in educational policies and recently reformed curr...
Visual dialog demonstrates several important aspects of multimodal artificial intelligence; however, it is hindered by visual grounding and visual coreference resolution problems. To overcome these problems, we propose the novel neural module network...
As technology continues to reshape education, the integration of peer feedback (PF) is increasingly recognized as a key element in promoting student collaboration and learning. This design study tracks the development and implementation of the Thinq...

Policy dialogs are deliberative dialogue that gather policy makers and relevant stakeholders from across disciplines to discuss a topic of mutual interest. They typically serve as a single element in a broader policymaking cycle, either informing the...
Cooperation is an important aspect of open innovation (OI) facilitated by information and communication technology (ICT). Cooperation may have two distinct forms, namely dialectic or dialogic, and it has already been argued that dialogic cooperation...
Automatic dialog act recognition is an important step for dialog systems since it reveals the intention behind the words uttered by its conversational partners. Although most approaches on the task use word-level tokenization, there is information at...
This paper proposes an interactive dialog system, called AidIR, to aid information retrieval. AidIR allows users to retrieve information on diseases resulting from coronaviruses and diseases transmitted by vector mosquitoes with natural language inte...
Gender-based violence is a social scourge with an increasing incidence at younger ages. Many studies have focused on finding effective solutions for overcoming this problem; however, few studies have analyzed the contribution of interactive learning...
High-quality mathematics instruction is a primary element for quality education and the sustainable development of society. Some studies have highlighted the critical role of teacher job satisfaction and stress on their instruction. However, limited...
Large Language Models (LLMs) promise to enhance clinical decision-making, yet empirical studies reveal a paradox: physician performance with LLM assistance shows minimal improvement or even deterioration. This failure stems from an “acquiescenc...
This study examines how young children engage with picturebooks, discussion, dramatic inquiry, and writing to negotiate diverse perspectives and develop empathy in an early childhood classroom. Grounded in sociocultural and critical literacy theories...
Social media platforms, such as Twitter (X), have a critical role in disseminating health information. The study aims to highlight the potential of Twitter (X) as an influential tool for health communication, in addition to providing findings related...
Joseph Kosuth, one of Concept Art’s influential practitioners, credited Marcel Duchamp in an important 1969 essay, “Art After Philosophy”, with instigating the shift from the visual to the conceptual by means of indifference and dem...
The purpose of this paper is to explore a capacity-building pedagogical approach to human rights education as a complement to the “declarationist” approach. The basic premise of this philosophical paper is the idea of human rights as just...
Scholars of social and emotional learning (SEL) emphasize conversation as a valuable pedagogical strategy; however, they often provide limited guidance on how such discussions can be effectively implemented in classroom practice. This study explores...
Many children are at risk for reading difficulties because of inadequate emergent literacy skills. It is widely accepted that development of emergent literacy skills is strictly related to children’s early literacy experiences at home and schoo...
This article offers a dialogical exploration of student teachers’ reflections on notions of insideness and outsideness, the focal themes of an Erasmus+ ten-day intensive programme (IP). The arts-based, interdisciplinary IP involved 32 student p...
The scientific literature has evidenced that certain educational and dialogic actions have been successful at increasing the quality of social interactions and improving mental health, among other beneficial aspects. One of these dialogic actions is...
In a highly diverse world, cultural literacy is an essential tool for living together in harmony, and dialogic teaching may be a way to promote and develop it among children and adolescents. We define cultural literacy as a set of attitudes (inclusio...
This paper seeks to deepen the understanding of religious plurality using a range of conceptual lenses and then to draw out some implications for a dialogical approach to religious education in Catholic schools. While what was, until very recent time...
This research responds to the increasing call to hone Student Teachers’ (ST) skill of selective attention or professional noticing as an essential early step toward developing noticing in the classroom environment. Furthering the line of resear...
Services for victims of gender-based violence are an interdisciplinary work space where the recovery of women and, thus, preventing their social exclusion are among the main objectives. Although previous scientific literature provides some indicators...
This article argues that the Catholic Church in Nigeria needs to move beyond interreligious dialogue that dwells more on Councils’ interactions and discourses to develop a dialogical ethical framework that engages religious multiplicity in a mo...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems typically inherit biases from their training data, leading to discriminatory outcomes that undermine equity and inclusion. This issue is particularly significant when popular Generative AI (GAI) applications are u...
