Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has opened new possibilities for designing learning analytics (LA) tools, gaining new insights about student learning processes and their environment, and supporting teachers in assessing and monitoring students. This systematic literature review maps the empirical research of 41 papers utilizing GenAI…

This study presents several multivariate Generalizability theory designs for analyzing automatic item-generated (AIG) based test forms. The study used real data to illustrate the analysis procedure and discuss practical considerations. We collected the data from two groups of students, each group receiving a different form generated by AIG. A…

This study explores the potential to enhance the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automated scoring of kinematic graph answers through data augmentation using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs). By developing and fine-tuning a DCGAN model to generate high-quality graph images, we explored its…

How are educational values and pedagogical approaches inscribed into automated education technologies and their data visualizations? In this article we analyze the design process and technical and pedagogical debates of a team of researchers and developers working on an automated scoring tool for primary school students' early writing as part of…

In this essay, we explored the feasibility of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for qualitative data analysis in equity-focused research. Specifically, we compare thematic analyses of interview transcripts conducted by human coders with those performed by GPT-3 using a zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting strategy. Our results suggest that…

Background: Integrating information from multiple sources is a common yet challenging learning task for secondary school students. Many underuse metacognitive skills, such as monitoring and control, which are essential for promoting engagement and effective learning outcomes. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between…

High-quality feedback requires understanding of a student's work, insights into what concepts would help them improve, and language that matches the preferences of the specific teaching team. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate coherent feedback, adapting these responses to align with specific teacher preferences remains an open…

Purpose: This study examines existing automatic screening methods for developmental language disorder (DLD), a neurodevelopmental language deficit without known biomedical etiologies, focusing on languages, data sets, extracted features, performance metrics, and classification methods. Additionally, it summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of…

Assessment and institutional research offices have too much data and too little time. Standard reporting often crowds out opportunities for innovative research. Fortunately, advancements in data science now offer a clear solution. It is equal parts technique and philosophy. The first and easiest step is to modernize data work. This column…

Automatic item generation may supply many items instantly and efficiently to assessment and learning environments. Yet, the evaluation of item quality persists to be a bottleneck for deploying generated items in learning and assessment settings. In this study, we investigated the utility of using large-language models, specifically Llama 3-8B, for…

This study explores the potential of the large language model GPT-4 as an automated tool for qualitative data analysis by educational researchers, exploring which techniques are most successful for different types of constructs. Specifically, we assess three different prompt engineering strategies -- Zero-shot, Few-shot, and Fewshot with…

Background/purpose: The study examined the impact of artificial intelligence on strategic decision-making in business management, focusing on Educational and Business Environments, with a particular emphasis on internal capabilities, organizational readiness, ethical considerations, and regional contextual factors that affect AI integration.…
