This article reports on a novel approach to integrate artificial intelligence into a digital collaborative platform embedded with a problem-based mathematics curriculum. Using design research methodologies, we developed a new "proof-of-concept" design feature called "student proportional reasoning arrows (SPArrows)." SPArrows…

This study explores the arrival of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies in a collaborative Problem-Based Learning (PBL) environment from the perspective of students. It examines the emerging practices students develop individually and in groups as well as the tensions they navigate in response to GenAI's sudden arrival, its…

Efforts to include people with disabilities in design education are difficult to scale, and dynamics of participation need to be carefully planned to avoid putting unnecessary burdens on users. However, given the scale of emerging AI-enhanced technologies and their potential for creating new vulnerabilities for marginalized populations, new…

Purpose: The purpose is to stimulate imagination of artificial intelligence (AI) and education beyond current schooling. Design/Approach/Methods: The approach this article took is a broad review of literature on learning, teaching, schooling, and technological development and evidence-based reasoning about the possible future of education in the…

This study explores student perceptions of learning to code by evaluating AI-generated Python code. In an experimental exercise given to students in an introductory Python course at a business university, students wrote their own solutions to a Python program and then compared their solutions with AI-generated code. They evaluated both solutions…

This article presents a design experiment in which generative artificial intelligence (GAI) was topically integrated into a Problem-based Learning module in a pedagogical study programme with the intention to generate insights for both, future GAI-in-PBL practice and theory. Based on various data (student reports, notes, a focus group interview,…

The ability to think critically is an important and valuable skill that students should develop to successfully solve problems. The process of writing requires critical thinking (CT), and the subsequent piece of text can be viewed as a product of CT. One of the strategies educators may use to develop CT is modelling. Given ChatGPT's ability to…

The alignment of learning materials with learning objectives (LOs) is critical for successfully implementing the problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum. This study investigated the capabilities of Gemini Advanced, a large language model (LLM), in creating clinical vignettes that align with LOs and comprehensive tutor guides. This study used a…

This article highlights the foundational challenge of rapid interprofessional student team formation and the potential challenges that groupthink poses for newly formed teams participating in collaborative problem based learning activities. This article describes a mixed-methods study that addresses groupthink by introducing a generative…

Because implementing and orchestrating collaborative problem-based learning (PBL) in K-12 classrooms requires teachers to manage multiple activities and access various teaching resources at the same time, this is an exceptionally complex task for designers to develop tools for orchestration support as well as for teachers to coordinate. The aim of…

In response to the demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts, this study introduced a curriculum development initiative. The aim was to design and implement a Private AI curriculum to understand the computer science (CS) students' evaluations of the curricular activities and their levels of interest and motivation. Twenty-five students, a…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to identify publication trends regarding the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in junior high schools over a specific period based on bibliometric data; To analyze the most frequently occurring keywords in the PjBL literature for junior high schools to understand the main research focus; To…

The development of modern technologies and the integration of AI into all aspects of life pose challenges for participants in the educational process. On the one hand, using chatbots and generative AI tools provides learners with unlimited opportunities to quickly and easily access a large amount of information and receive help with various…

There is a heightened concern over undergraduate students being over-reliant on Generative AI and using it recklessly. Reliance behaviours describe the frequencies and ways that people use AI tools for tasks such as problem-solving, influenced by individual factors such as trust and AI literacy. One way to conceptualise reliance is that reliance…

Despite the increasing emphasis on computational literacy in higher education, we observed that many undergraduate students particularly in developing contexts struggle to master fundamental programming skills and develop critical thinking. Conventional instructional approaches often lack interactivity and personalized scaffolding, which are…
