This study examined trajectories of repetitive sensorimotor (RSM), insistence on sameness (IS), and verbal RRBs from ages 2-19 in a well-characterized longitudinal cohort. We also tested the factor structure of the ADI-R restricted and repetitive behavior (RRB) domain at age 19 and the inclusion of a verbal RRBs factor, in addition to previously…

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) presents challenges and opportunities for higher education. The challenge is to incorporate the benefits of AI while minimizing its potential for misuse and undermining of learning. The opportunity is that AI allows instructors to assess learning authentically by fostering creative, engaging, realistic,…

The ability of large language models (LLMs) to generate code has raised concerns in computer science education, as students may use tools like ChatGPT for programming assignments. While much research has focused on higher education, especially for languages like Java and Python, little attention has been given to K-12 settings, particularly for…

Purpose: The notion of using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) engine for text composition has gained excessive popularity among students, educators and researchers, following the introduction of ChatGPT. However, this has added another dimension to the daunting task of verifying originality in academic writing. Consequently, the market…

Artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into daily life, and modern educated individuals should have the ability to use AI tools correctly to improve work, study, and life efficiency. In this context, artificial intelligence literacy has been proposed. Due to the lack of consensus on the constructs of artificial intelligence literacy,…

This study explores the impact of ChatGPT, an advanced Large Language Model (LLM), as a virtual tutor in online education across five key dimensions: answering questions, writing assistance, study resources, exam preparation, and availability. Utilizing an experimental design, 68 undergraduate students from a public university interacted with…

Background: Many researchers work on the design and development of multimodal collaboration support systems with AI, yet very few of these systems are mature enough to provide actionable feedback to students in real-world settings. Therefore, a notable gap exists in the literature regarding students' perceptions of such systems and the feedback…

Health professional education stands to gain substantially from collective efforts toward building video databases of skill performances in both real and simulated settings. An accessible resource of videos that demonstrate an array of performances -- both good and bad -- provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary research collaborations that…

This study uses the concept of dilemmatic space to unpack the complexities of teachers' work when it comes to assessing students in the GenAI age. A key idea of dilemmatic space is that dilemmas are not 'out there' but constructions based on individuals' priorities, knowledge and values. Therefore, studying what teachers perceive as 'dilemmatic'…

One of the identified points of confusion and a barrier to students using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is knowing what their professor would consider appropriate use of GenAI in a classroom setting or course framework. This creates points of friction for instructors and students as they try to navigate an ever-changing landscape,…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has shown incredible leaps in performance across data of a variety of modalities including texts, images, audio, and videos. This affords social scientists the ability to annotate variables of interest from unstructured media. While rapidly improving, these methods are far from perfect and, as we show, even…

Generative AI (GenAI) is quickly becoming a valuable tool for sociological research. Already, sociologists employ GenAI for tasks like classifying text and simulating human agents. We point to another major use case: the extraction of structured information from unstructured text. Information Extraction (IE) is an established branch of Natural…

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…

With the rapid development of emerging information technologies, the art education system is gradually entering the era of intelligence and building a new type of educational ecosystem. In this context, the transformation of society, the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology, and the sustained development of the education…

This study explores the capability of artificial intelligence tools to generate questions aligned with Bloom's Revised Taxonomy to support educators. On October 6, 2023, ChatGPT 4, Google Bard (now Gemini), and an experienced elementary educator were prompted to create questions for each Bloom's cognitive levels in math, science, and a popular…
