The rapid development of Generative AI (GenAI) tools presents challenges for their ethical and responsible use. This pilot study examines student learning agreements as a governance tool for GenAI use in a first-year engineering course. These agreements included ethical and social considerations that students accepted if they chose to use GenAI.…

This pilot study explores the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in enhancing the academic manuscript-to-journal matching process, focusing on Large Language Models (LLMs). Through a focused evaluation of LLM-based recommendation systems, the study analyzes their performance across 40 papers from four distinct disciplines:…

The architecture of the service platform via AI chatbots is a research tool which was fabricated to specifically promote digital competency through the use of AI chatbots. The architecture of the service platform herein was initiated by the application of artificial intelligence technology integrated with chatbot technology to create the user…

Contribution: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in engineering higher education is becoming increasingly important nowadays. This article contributes to the Scholarship of Integration by providing a comprehensive review of current research on AI integration in engineering higher education and presenting a pilot AI introductory module…

Large language models, such as ChatGPT, have great potential to enhance learning and support teachers, but they must be used with care to tackle limitations and biases. This paper presents two easy-to-implement examples of how ChatGPT can be used in physics classrooms to foster critical thinking skills at the secondary school level. A pilot study…

This article examines the risk of crossover contamination in individual-level randomization, a common concern in experimental research, in the context of a large-enrollment college course. While individual-level randomization is more efficient for assessing program effectiveness, it also increases the potential for control group students to cross…

Integrating Mixed Reality (MR) into nursing education and professional practice has recently captured significant interest as a transformative approach. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration and practical insights into designing and implementing an advanced MR training platform to provide nursing students with immersive experiences…

Research internships, designed to enhance students' scientific knowledge, research skills, and confidence, typically focus on a single science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) discipline and miss the opportunity to facilitate the development of interdisciplinary collaboration skills crucial for translational research. As part of…

The effectiveness of providing Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms to enhance students' general writing skills has been well-established. With the advent of various feedback modes in modern classrooms, this pilot study aimed to explore EFL students' perceptions and preferences regarding the…

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies in higher education has raised concerns about academic integrity, assessment practices and student learning. Banning or blocking GenAI tools has proven ineffective, and punitive approaches ignore the potential benefits of these technologies. As a result, assessment…

The current body of scholarly literature highlights the increasing importance of Mixed Reality (MR) in the field of education since it provides an alternative way through visual stimuli inside an immersive environment. In recent years, the possibility for educators to use Mixed Reality as an additional pedagogical instrument has witnessed notable…

Given the novelty of human--machine communication (HMC) in task-based language learning (TBLL), we conducted a multimethodological pilot study to explore the use of Alexa in out-of-class task-based learning to mediate texts in English as a foreign language. Fourteen Polish intermediate learners participated in the quasi-experiment and programme…

In the 2024-25 school year, researchers from the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) studied 18 California schools--15 public charters, one public district, and two private schools--that are piloting artificial intelligence (AI) tools to address issues like learning gaps, behavioral challenges, and teacher inexperience. These schools…

Adaptive learning systems aim to emulate how skilled educators provide every student with the best possible learning experience. We investigate how these systems might be enriched by incorporating activities and indicators of social learning, which focus on the influences of learners' social context and interactions. This doctoral research aims to…

In this paper we begin to explore how knowledges being generated in bioscience might be brought into productive articulation with the Sociology of Education, considering the potential for emerging transdisciplinary, 'biosocial' approaches to enable new ways of researching and understanding pressing educational issues. In this paper, as in our…
