The emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, presents new challenges impacting student perceptions of academic integrity. While extensive research exists on academic misconduct and student perceptions of various infractions, there is limited understanding of how AI tools impact these views and whether their use…

In this essay, I suggest that we should embrace generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) writing tools, particularly chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude), because they can enable linguistic equity by leveling the academic playing field for English as an additional language students. As writing experts, we can find ways to use this…

Knowledge tracing models have enabled a range of intelligent tutoring systems to provide feedback to students. However, existing methods for knowledge tracing in learning sciences are predominantly reliant on statistical data and instructor-defined knowledge components, making it challenging to integrate AI-generated educational content with…

The growing need for automated and personalized feedback in programming education has led to recent interest in leveraging generative AI for feedback generation. However, current approaches tend to rely on prompt engineering techniques in which predefined prompts guide the AI to generate feedback. This can result in rigid and constrained responses…

This study examines how 10 pre-service teachers from a teacher education institution in Manila integrate ChatGPT into their academic tasks and navigate the resulting moral dissonance. Through semistructured interviews, the findings reveal that while ChatGPT is employed for paraphrasing, organizing ideas, information retrieval, and simplifying…

This study explores the use of large language models (LLMs) to generate feedback on essay-type assignments in Higher Education. Drawing on a seminal feedback framework, it examines the pedagogical and psychological effectiveness of LLM-generated feedback across three cohorts of MBA, MSc, and undergraduate students. Methods included linguistic…

For this study, 350 university students in Germany were surveyed to understand how they perceive ChatGPT's educational advantages and challenges. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, it found out that students tend to see ChatGPT as helpful for academic performance (53.14%), writing (47.14%), and exam preparation (50.00%).…

We propose an innovative, effective, and data-agnostic method to train a deep-neural network model with an extremely small training dataset, called VELR (Voting-based Ensemble Learning with Rejection). In educational research and practice, providing valid labels for a sufficient amount of data to be used for supervised learning can be very costly…

Generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, represents a significant technological advancement in natural language processing (NLP) large language models (LLM) with far-reaching implications in many dimensions of our lives, including education. This paper discusses the prospects of generative AI in utilizing language and its potential role as a…

Text generation tools, often presented as a form of generative artificial intelligence, have the potential to pose a threat to the integrity of the educational system. They can be misused to afford students marks and qualifications that they do not deserve. The emergence of recent tools, such as ChatGPT, appear to have left the educational…

Creativity is now accepted as a core 21st-century competency and is increasingly an explicit part of school curricula around the world. Therefore, the ability to assess creativity for both formative and summative purposes is vital. However, the "fitness-for-purpose" of creativity tests has recently come under scrutiny. Current creativity…

ChatGPT is a brand new, free AI chatbot that has the potential to produce a seismic shift in chemistry education, especially in written lab reports. An example is explored in which ChatGPT is used to write the discussion portion of a lab report. Ways to detect the use of ChatGPT are also discussed.

Reading comprehension is one of the essential skills for students as they make a transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Over the last decade, the increased use of digital learning materials for promoting literacy skills (e.g., oral fluency and reading comprehension) in K-12 classrooms has been a boon for teachers. However, instant…

Student plagiarism has challenged educators for decades, with heightened paranoia following the advent of the Internet in the 1980's and ready access to easily copied text. But plagiarism will look like child's play next to new developments in AI-based natural-language processing (NLP) systems that increasingly appear to "write" as…

Educational technology innovations leveraging large language models (LLMs) have shown the potential to automate the laborious process of generating and analysing textual content. While various innovations have been developed to automate a range of educational tasks (eg, question generation, feedback provision, and essay grading), there are…
