AI model using deep transfer learning – the most advanced form of machine learning – predicted with 92% accuracy spoken language outcomes at one-to-three years after cochlear implants (implanted electronic hearing device), according to a large international study published in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.

Cognitively activating teaching practice, as a strategy that can promote students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and in-depth learning, is considered to have potential relevance for teachers’ professional collaboration. A new international study led by Dr. Mehmet Şükrü Bellibaş provides compelling evidence that teachers who collaborate professionally are significantly more likely to use cognitively activating teaching practices. The study also reveals that the positive effects of collaboration are even stronger in schools with high collective innovativeness.

The research challenges the common perception and instead shows its essential role in driving meaningful learning outcomes.
