“…Many software programs are now available for such electronic mock interviews, and both electronic mock interviews and face-to-face mock interviews have been shown to increase student confidence and success at interviews (Baur et al, 2013;Hansen, Oliphant, Oliphant, & Hansen, 2009). …”

In the context of a Transition to Work course for fourth-year psychology majors, we had students use an e-portfolio to self-reflect on the learning experiences they deemed most significant during their degree. Such significant learning experiences can be drawn upon when answering behavioral job interview questions. We examined whether students would show improvement in mock behavioral interview performance over time, and whether any potential improvement was related to performance on self-reflective course assignments. Students indicated that the majority of their significant learning experiences had taken place outside of the classroom (e.g., paid and unpaid work, extracurricular activities). Across the duration of the course, students improved on all metrics of interview performance, and final interview performance was predicted by student grades on a self-reflective e-portfolio, but not other course assignments.

“…The PT trainer has been developed in C# using the .NET framework 4.5 4 . In order to help people in their nonverbal skills, the PT needs to be able to track the user's voice and body; the current set-up of the PT does this tracking through the use of the Microsoft Kinect for Windows V2 sensor in conjunction with its SDK.…”

The Presentation Trainer is a multimodal tool designed to support the practice of public speaking skills, by giving the user real-time feedback about different aspects of her nonverbal communication. It tracks the user's voice and body to interpret her current performance. Based on this performance the Presentation Trainer selects the type of intervention that will be presented as feedback to the user. This feedback mechanism has been designed taking in consideration the results from previous studies that show how difficult it is for learners to perceive and correctly interpret realtime feedback while practicing their speeches. In this paper we present the user experience evaluation of participants who used the Presentation Trainer to practice for an elevator pitch, showing that the feedback provided by the Presentation Trainer has a significant influence on learning.

“…voice features) and non-verbal (e.g. gestures and body pose) behaviours (PorayskaPomsta et al 2014;Baur et al 2013). A key feature of the TARDIS project was its additional aim to inform the design of use of the game in real contexts of youth employment associations across Europe, where it was crucial to facilitate the practitioners' independence in using this game as part of their typical practices.…”

“…The representations generated at this stage included detailed specification of job interviews' structures, involving definitions of distinct interview parts and the development of turn-by-turn interview scenarios (this specification was used directly in the implementation of the TARDIS' scenarios using the SceneMaker 6 modelling tool -see e.g. Damian et al 2013). These scenarios were subsequently tagged by practitioners with appropriate types of interview questions along with the expected verbal and nonverbal candidates' response behaviours, e.g.…”

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is of critical importance in education where emphasis is placed on the need to equip educators with an ability to independently generate and reflect on evidence of their practices in situ -a process also known as praxis. This paper examines existing research related to teachers' metacognitive skills and, using two exemplar projects, it discusses the utility and relevance of AI methods of knowledge representation and knowledge elicitation as methodologies for supporting EBP. Research related to technology-enhanced communities of practice as a means for teachers to share and compare their knowledge with others is also examined. Suggestions for the key considerations in supporting teachers' metacognition in praxis are made based on the review of literature and discussion of the specific projects, with the aim to highlight potential future research directions for AIEd. A proposal is made that a crucial part of AIEd's future resides in its curating the role of AI as a methodology for supporting teacher training and continuous professional development, especially as relates to their developing metacognitive skills in relation to their practices.
