This study utilizes a grounded theory approach to analyze data collected from six sessions of panel discussions with participants from US universities. The study…

Large Language Models (LLMs) present a radically new paradigm for the study of "information foraging behavior." We study how LLM technology is used for pedagogical content creation by a sample of 25 participants in a doctoral-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education course, and the role of computational-thinking skills in shaping…

Background/purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of prospective mathematics teachers' metacognitive awareness on their perceptions and applications of ChatGPT in problem-solving processes. The research investigates how these prospective mathematics teachers perceive and utilize ChatGPT, focusing on the relationship between their…

This study explores the efficacy of ChatGPT-3.5, an AI chatbot, used as an Automatic Essay Scoring (AES) system and feedback provider for IELTS essay preparation. It investigates the alignment between scores given by ChatGPT-3.5 and those assigned by official IELTS examiners to establish its reliability as an AES. It also identifies the strategies…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT, has significantly impacted higher education institutions (HEIs), offering opportunities and challenges. While these tools enhance personalized learning and content generation, they threaten academic integrity, especially in assessment environments.…

Educators and researchers have analyzed various image data acquired from teaching and learning, such as images of learning materials, classroom dynamics, students' drawings, etc. However, this approach is labour-intensive and time-consuming, limiting its scalability and efficiency. The recent development in the Visual Question Answering (VQA)…

The rise of AI-assisted writing tools has transformed academic literacy, as it offers students support in grammar correction, sentence structure, and idea generation. However, concerns about academic integrity and over-reliance on AI are on the increase. This study investigates how Nigerian university students use AI writing tools and examines…

School psychologists constantly seek innovative ways to support students and colleagues. They understand the unique challenges within schools, including complex student needs, systemic pressures, and ever-increasing paperwork. What if they could create custom digital tools like games, interactive simulations, or decision-making aids, all tailored…

Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to impact learning in the advanced learner virtual classroom through personalized learning and on-demand feedback. This study investigated whether an LLM added to virtual science course activities impacted student learning. Using the GPT4o model from OpenAI, the LLM was developed as a co-tutor to…

Background: The growth of online education has provided flexibility and access to a wide range of courses. However, the self-paced and often isolated nature of these courses has been associated with increased dropout and failure rates. Researchers employed machine learning approaches to identify at-risk students, but multiple issues have not been…

This paper presents the findings of a pilot study on the use of generative AI (GAI) in tutorial sessions within a large-scale distance education institution in Indonesia. The primary aim of the experiment was to assess the impact of GAI-based tutoring on student engagement and academic achievement. A secondary objective was to explore how GAI…

Large language models (LLMs) hold great promise for enhancing teaching and learning in higher education, yet educators and administrators still lack practical examples to guide their adoption.
