Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) chatbots provide teachers with opportunities to enhance their expertise by exploring topics relevant to their practice. However, studies have raised concerns about ChatGPT's mathematical accuracy. This pilot study evaluated ChatGPT's Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Content Knowledge (CK),…

This paper presents an improved Distributed Genetic Algorithm (DGA) that surpasses the classic genetic algorithm (GA) in terms of both efficiency and effectiveness when it comes to optimizing faculty scheduling systems. The proposed Differential Evolution Genetic Algorithm (DGA) combines DE with chaotic mapping and asynchronous communication to…

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a probabilistic model of a learner's state of mastery for a knowledge component. The learner's state is a "hidden" binary variable updated based on the correctness of the learner's responses to questions corresponding to that knowledge component. The parameters used for this update are inferred/learned…

ChatGPT, a generative, pre-trained transformer gained great attention in various fields, Education included. The authors feel the need to investigate the views of practitioners and researchers regarding this issue. Using the systematic review as the structure of research method, the authors created their criteria, and got 65 papers after applying…

This paper aims at using a Use-Modify-Create approach to explore students' mathematical problem solving by means of computational thinking (CT) and programming activities. The data collection method is participant observation, in which the researcher also has the role as teacher, guiding the group activities. In our study, two groups of students…

Metacognitive strategies play a crucial role in Computer-Based Learning Environments (CBLEs). However, students often struggle to apply these strategies spontaneously during learning. Research demonstrates that metacognitive prompts can effectively guide students' awareness and help them monitor their learning progress, leading to improved…

The incursion of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) into learning environments is becoming increasingly important, since they have become allies in the teaching, learning and evaluation process. Its possibilities of contributing to more dynamic, flexible, and innovative learning allow the academy to strengthen both: teachers and…

This study investigates the integration of AI tools, ChatGPT 3.5 and Bard (now Gemini), in the education of civil engineering students specializing in pavement design. Two groups, totaling sixty-eight undergraduate students (Group A=28, Group B=40), enrolled in the Pavement Design course at UTPL from October 2023 to February 2024, participated.…

This study aims to develop a preliminary model for the content validation of serious games, specifically to assess two cybersecurity games designed for children aged 8-13 years as part of the Erasmus+ project "SuperCyberKids". Using a scoping review of databases from pedagogy, psychology, and computer science, we identified current…

As education increasingly shifts towards a technology-driven model, artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT are gaining recognition for their potential to enhance educational support. In university education and MOOC environments, students often select courses that align with their specific needs. During this process, access to information…

The e-book system, widely used in learning and teaching, has generated a large amount of log data over time. Researchers analyzing these data have discovered the existence of student's jump back behavior, which is positively correlated with academic achievement. However, they also found that this behavior has the disadvantage of low efficiency. To…

Designing balanced and optimized degree plans is a fundamental challenge in higher education, directly impacting student success, graduation rates, and institutional efficiency. This paper presents an innovative framework that addresses this challenge through a two-stage optimization approach. The first stage focuses on selecting a set of courses…

This study examined the opportunity to learn function transformations afforded by the GeoGebra applets available on the GeoGebra website. Our analysis focused on the functions and their representations through which function transformations are explored in these GeoGebra applets, the effects and components of transformations that the GeoGebra…

Winter 2023 was a scary time for educators being confronted with generative AI for the first time. The launch of ChatGPT caused nothing less than a seismic shift in the field of higher education. Amidst calls to ban it from schools and decrying the end of entire disciplines, there was also a great surge of enthusiasm and optimism as faculty and…

This study examines the use of artificial intelligence-based assessment systems in education and their impact on student achievement. AI technologies make the learning experience more compelling by monitoring and evaluating student performance through data analysis and machine learning, thereby individualizing the assessment process. This study…
