Gender-sensitive sentiment analysis for estimating the emotional climate in online teacher education.

Teacher training takes place in distance education to a large extent. Within these contexts, trainers should make use of all the information available to adapt and refine their instructional methods during the training process. Sentiment analysis (SA) can give immediate feedback of the emotions expressed and help in the training process, although it has been used infrequently in educational settings, slow to assess, and bound to interpretative issues, such as gender bias.

An associational study: preschool teachers' acceptance and self-efficacy towards Educational Robotics in a pre-service teacher training program.

Purpose: This study explores pre-service preschool teachers' acceptance and self-efficacy towards Educational Robotics (ER) during a university course, and also examines their perceptions of the course.

Methodology: This is a one-group intervention study with an associational research design that includes both quantitative and qualitative research methods: two pre-questionnaires and two post-questionnaires on pre-service teachers' acceptance and self-efficacy towards ER, and participants' training journals.

Findings: The results show that pre-service teachers' acceptance and self-efficacy towards ER improved after they completed the ER teacher training course.
