Progress in Education. Volume 65 

Progress in Education. Volume 65 opens with an experimental study examining whether the language mindset of English as a Foreign Language pre-service teachers significantly relates to their task-oriented state-anxiety, changes in epigenetic activity, and task performance on a translation task. Following this, the authors review published research studies focusing on the use of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter by students and teachers in higher education. This compilation also examines intellectual maturity, taking into account the specific features of interaction between teaching staff and learners in conditions of anthropological crisis. The authors analyse the new research models in education sciences born from the emergence of information and communication technologies, with the objective of determining the structures presenting in the last decade. The phenomenon of Massive Open Online Course courses is described, seeking to objectively determine what their advantages and disadvantages are, as well as how to improve their implementation. The concluding chapter reports on the results of a pilot study introducing a chatbot to assist with the development of learning communities at a small, largely international London university.
