We present the results of a study investigating the potential role of the generative AI GPT-4 in scaffolding students' metacognitive activities during problem-solving. The theoretical framework according to which students' interactions with GPT-4 are analysed is based on three main components: the notion of utilisation scheme within the frame of…

The increasing use of complex machine learning models in education has led to concerns about their interpretability, which in turn has spurred interest in developing explainability techniques that are both faithful to the model's inner workings and intelligible to human end-users. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to creating a…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in education, but mostly to support individual teaching and learning. However, there are good reasons to think that thinking together and solving problems together, Collective Intelligence (CI), is also a valuable outcome of education. Accordingly, our main research question is: How can AI be…

In this paper, we initially investigate the capabilities of GPT-3 5 and GPT-4 in solving college-level calculus problems, an essential segment of mathematics that remains under-explored so far. Although improving upon earlier versions, GPT-4 attains approximately 65% accuracy for standard problems and decreases to 20% for competition-like…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into mathematical problem-solving has shown significant potential to enhance student learning and performance. However, while AI tools offer numerous benefits, they are prone to occasional conceptual and arithmetic errors that can mislead users and obscure understanding. This research examines such…

This paper suggests that artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) can be fruitfully analysed as 'policies frozen in silicon'. This means that they exist as both materialised and proposed problematisations (problem representations with corresponding solutions). As a theoretical and analytical response, this paper puts forward a heuristic lens…

This study aims to develop a comprehensive competency framework for artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, delineating essential competencies and sub-competencies. This framework and its potential variations, tailored to different learner groups (by educational level and discipline), can serve as a crucial reference for designing and implementing…

This study investigates the ability of ChatGPT to generate mathematical problems creatively, focusing on fluency, flexibility, and originality. The findings indicate that ChatGPT can produce a vast number of problems, demonstrating a high level of fluency. Additionally, it tends to prioritize the most original problem among its generated outputs.…

This article examines students' opinions regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a teammate in solving complex problems. The overarching goal of the study is to explore the effectiveness of AI as a collaborative partner in educational settings. In the study, 15 groups of grade 9 students (59 students total) were assigned a challenging…

Fractal Geometry (GF) comprises problems characterized by having particular geometric and analytical properties based on the concept of self-similarity. Fractals constitute a breaking point in relation to classical Geometry. In addition, many natural phenomena exhibit fractal features, leading to several useful practical applications. In spite of…

The advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution era requires the creation of new value through convergence rather than piecemeal use of technology. In that sense, the convergence of AI's learning ability and IoT connectivity makes it possible to build a more intelligent and automated system. Therefore, AI education in preparation for the era of…

Background: Automatically graded programming assignments provide instant feedback to students and significantly reduce manual grading time for instructors. However, creating comprehensive suites of test cases for programming problems within automatic graders can be time-consuming and complex. The effort needed to define test suites may deter some…

This study examines the feasibility and potential advantages of using large language models, in particular GPT-4o, to perform partial credit grading of large numbers of student written responses to introductory level physics problems. Students were instructed to write down verbal explanations of their reasoning process when solving one conceptual…

Although the use of AI technology driven by anxiety has become increasingly common, research on the relationship between high school students' math anxiety and their intention to use AI for problem-solving remains limited. This study, grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, aims to explore the relationship between math anxiety and…

Generative AI has recently gained the ability to generate computer code. This development is bound to affect how computer programming is taught in higher education. We used past programming assignments and solutions for textbook exercises in our introductory programming class to analyze how accurately one of the leading models, ChatGPT, generates…
