Recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence allow for improved performance in the automated assessment of extended response items in mathematics, potentially allowing for the scoring of these items cheaply and at scale. This study details the grand prize-winning approach to developing large language models (LLMs) to automatically…

The development of large language models offers new possibilities for enhancing adaptive scaffolding of student learning in game-based learning environments. In this work, we present a novel framework for automatic plan generation that utilizes text-based representations of students' actions within a game-based learning environment, Crystal…

The urgent need to train military and civilian responders in combat casualty care during large-scale operations presents challenges due to the variability of learner preparedness and the resource demands of traditional curriculum development. This study examines the application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in authoring and evaluating…

This work involves the use of bibliometric techniques to evaluate the metadata of the literature on digital leadership published during the last decade (2015-2025), with documents relevant to the analysis from our campus, the Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo, and specifically from the School of Languages, our area of teaching and research…

With growing research attention in artificial intelligence in education (AIED), there is a profusion of systematic reviews that have investigated AI integration in a wide variety of educational contexts, including PreK-12 schools and higher education. Even though existing systematic reviews have explored effects of AI on education, few studies…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly gaining attention across the open-source and commercial fields, bolstered by their constantly growing capabilities. While such models have a vast array of applications, their integration into higher education--as supportive tools for lecturers--has been largely unexplored. Exploring this area entails…

Programming demands a variety of cognitive skills, and mastering these competencies is essential for success in computer science education. The importance of formative feedback is well acknowledged in programming education, and thus, a diverse range of techniques has been proposed to generate and enhance formative feedback for programming…

Understanding students' multi-party epistemic and topic based-dialogue contributions, or how students present knowledge in group-based chat interactions during collaborative game-based learning, offers valuable insights into group dynamics and learning processes. However, manually annotating these contributions is labor-intensive and challenging.…

The current insertion of Machine Learning (ML) in our everyday life demonstrates the importance of introducing the teaching of a basic understanding of ML already in school. Accompanying this trend arises the need to assess the students' learning of ML, yet so far only a few assessment models have been proposed, most of them rather simple, based…

This article examines the application of Quality management principles to learning in the age of AI and digital transformation. The traditional model is considered to be inadequate in coping with modern challenges associated with AI deployment due to concerns of privacy, transparency, and measurement of outcomes. A conceptual model that is…

Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, have ignited global discussions and debates about potential educational impacts. By examining initial reactions to ChatGPT shared in online spaces, this study aims to deepen understanding of opportunities and concerns related to integrating such tools into education. With the keyword "chatgpt," we…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots extend transformative impact in higher education. Current research requires more comprehensive evaluations of the collaborative learning fostered by students and GenAI chatbots. However, existing articles have rarely explored the dynamic process of student--AI collaboration in higher…

Background: Computational thinking (CT) is an essential skill for preparing the younger generation to succeed in an AI-driven world, with pair programming emerging as a widely used approach to foster these skills. However, the role of individual factors and mutual engagement in shaping CT skills within pair programming remains underexplored,…

This qualitative case study explored graduate students' views (n=6) on AI-supported applications and an AI-enabled blockbased coding tool (PictoBlox) in science education. Data were gathered over a 39-hour implementation via a semi-structured interview form and screen captures from the activities, and analyzed with content analysis. Participants…

The recent appearance of generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms has been seen by many as disruptive for education. In this paper I attempt to locate the source of tension between educational goals and new information technologies including AI. I argue that this tension arises from new conceptions of epistemic agency that are…
