Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping the research paradigm of doctoral education, with growing evidence suggesting that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools could promote innovative behaviour among doctoral students. However, the use of AI tools in scientific research should be approached with special caution, as…

The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of COVID-19 victimization experience (CVE) on university students' academic behaviors, which has not received sufficient attention in current research. Based on the job demands-resources model, which claims that insufficient resources and high demands can result in burnout, the present study…

Recycling waste is essential to mitigate environmental damage caused by human activity. Environmentally responsible behaviors, shaped during early ages, are closely linked to environmental attitudes, as demonstrated by prior research. This study aims to predict middle school students' recycling behaviors using machine learning algorithms. A…

The development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT have transformed the academic landscape, offering learning opportunities while raising significant challenges regarding academic integrity. This study explores student perceptions and behaviours concerning academic integrity and the use of GenAI in the context of an…

As technology rapidly evolves, generative AI tools are increasingly integrated across various fields, including education. ChatGPT, a well-known language model developed by OpenAI, has gained significant importance in educational settings. This study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design and employed the Unified Theory of…

Background: Bullying within a school context negatively affects both the bully and the victim. Although bullying is prevalent in primary schools in South Africa, there is a gap in the literature on interventions in this context, specifically interventions that involve the development of socio-emotional skills. Aim: This study aimed to develop an…

Despite the increasing interest in artificial intelligence technologies in education, there is a gap in understanding the factors influencing the adoption of ChatGPT among Nigerian higher education students. Research has not comprehensively explored these factors in the Nigerian context, leaving a significant gap in understanding technology…

As educational technology advances, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing language education becomes increasingly prominent. However, there is a scarcity of empirical research assessing how AI integration influences student engagement and contributes to the language learning performance. This mixed-methods study seeks to fill the…

Using thematic analysis and the Theory of Practice Architectures (TPA), this study assessed educator perceptions of the 2022 criminalisation of providing or advertising contract cheating (CC) services in the United Kingdom (UK). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participants from ten different UK-based Higher Education…

There has been considerable speculation about the risk that new generative AI tools like ChatGPT pose to higher education, particularly assessments and cheating. However it is unclear how much risk the UK higher education sector is exposed to. This survey study used a modified list experiment to evaluate that risk. Most students surveyed were…

As generative AI (GenAI) continues to permeate academia, distinguishing between student-authored essays and those by Large Language Models (LLMs) becomes crucial for maintaining academic integrity. This study conducted a survey on the ethical awareness of using generative AI tools among a group of STEM students (n=156). Also, we empirically…

As artificial intelligence (AI) permeates almost all aspects of our lives, university students need to acquire relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes to adapt to the challenges it poses. This study reports the development and validation of a scale called the Artificial Intelligence Learning Intention Scale (AILIS). AILIS was designed to measure…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) holds promise for enhancing the educational experience by providing personalized feedback and interactive simulations. While its integration into classrooms would improve education, concerns about how students may use AI in the class has prompted research on the perceptions related to the intention to…

Research on academic outcomes has extensively explored students' emotions, motivation, and learning behavior. While further research highlights the role of individual interactions with generative artificial intelligence (AI), a gap exists in understanding the longitudinal dynamic associations between university students' interactions with AI…

This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) in undergraduates' learning and research, and its increasing significance in higher education. Against this backdrop, understanding college students' attitudes, behaviors, and intentions towards AIGC is beneficial for better guiding their learning under the support of…
