This case study reports on the perceptions and dialogic behaviors of 15 preservice K-12 teachers engaging in simulation-based teaching practice with AI-powered student agents. Data included transcripts of text-based classroom dialogue, interviews, observations, and conversation logs. Using mixed-methods analyses and a framework of ambitious…

Metaverse in education has the potential to transform education by providing students with interactive, immersive and personalized learning experiences. This study examined the impact of Metaverse on the perceptions of pre-service science teachers. The study was designed in two stages. In the first stage, semi-structured preliminary interview…

This study aims to examine high school students' artificial intelligence literacy in visual arts subjects and their attitudes toward metaverse-based digital art. The research was conducted using a comparative-relational screening model, one of the screening models. The study sample consisted of 278 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. The…

In recent years, Game-Based Learning (GBL) has been widely adopted in various educational settings. This paper aims to review empirical studies that adopt GBL in the field of AI education and explore its future research perspectives. After a systematic keyword search in the online database and a snowballing approach, a total of 125 empirical…

This study investigates how anthropomorphic AI chatbot avatars, designed in line with the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) dimensions of warmth and competence, influence university students' perceptions of support for self-directed learning (SDL) activities. We examined student responses to two distinct avatars--one projecting warmth and the other…

The History of Design course is a foundational component for art and design students; however, many students perceive it as abstract and unengaging, mainly due to its highly conceptual nature and traditional lecture-based teaching methods. To address these challenges, this study investigates the impact of AI-generated virtual instructors and a…

Purpose: This study aims to understand and analyze the aspects influencing students' attitudes and behavior toward the use of metaverse in education. The metaverse is currently viewed as technology with immense prospects. However, the practice of the metaverse for educational motives is rarely deliberated. Design/methodology/approach: To assess…

Deep learning is a very popular topic in computer sciences courses despite the fact that it is often challenging for beginners to take their first step due to the complexity of understanding and applying Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Thus, the need to both understand and use neural networks is appearing at an ever-increasing rate across all…

This study explores students' perceptions of their engagement with interactive technologies in STEM classes at an applied technology school in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Specifically, the interactive technology (IT) involves artificial intelligence and virtual reality, along with collaborative digital platforms that incorporate AI elements…

This paper proposes a didactic design that is centered around an immersive, multilinear narrative in virtual reality as a means of illustrating human life on the edge of technological singularity. It explores the potential of narrative scenarios to trigger a discourse from users' perspective. Affective Computing is taken as a use case. It is a…

AI-based simulations for educational and assessment purposes are gaining global recognition. Informed by cultural comparison research, this study investigates cross-country variations in users' utilization and perceptions of a simulation-based assessment. Specifically, we conducted a comparative analysis between a sample of South African and…

The metaverse, powered by artificial intelligence and integrating virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, represents an emerging technology with the potential to transform education by creating immersive learning environments. As confirmed by previous research worldwide, teachers at different educational levels recognize its possibilities in…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in the educational context, particularly chatbotics, has made significant changes in learning English. This mixed-methods study is intended to explore university students' attitudes toward the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted mobile applications. Meanwhile, the role of social presence…

Purpose: This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of an artificial intelligence-generated content avatar (AIGC avatar) within a learning management system (LMS). Design/methodology/approach: This qualitative research involved seven postgraduate students. Data were collected through individual, in-depth interviews. The videos of…

The student-generated question (SGQ) strategy is an effective instructional strategy for developing students' higher order cognitive and critical thinking. However, assessing the quality of SGQs is time consuming and domain experts intensive. Previous automatic evaluation work focused on surface-level features of questions. To overcome this…
