There is an increasing call to include Artificial Intelligence (AI) competencies in academic disciplines such as Public Administration, which are not obviously related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). However, the literature on the integration of AI in non-STEM curricula in South African higher education institutions…

Education is undergoing a fundamental transformation, necessitated and made possible by contemporary technology, notably Artificial Intelligence. Central to this transformation is the realisation that the post primary learners will lead in terms of what each will study, how, where, when and to what purpose. This will entail a refocussed and…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and BingAI, have become integral to educational sciences, bringing about significant transformations in the education system and the processes of knowledge production. These advancements have facilitated new methods of teaching, learning, and information dissemination.…

In contemporary music education, innovative technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools, play a crucial role. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of AI-based tools in enhancing students' success and creativity. The study involved 158 students from a leading music institution, who were divided into…

Universal guidelines for AI's use in the context of higher education remains unestablished. Despite this, doctoral students utilized AI to help in forming research ideas and with editing manuscripts. Thereby, the socialization of doctoral students into ethical AI use became imperative. This action research study had faculty and EdD students test…

Background: With the integration of artificial intelligence into educational processes, its impact remains to be discovered. Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine whether, after a 7-month intervention in which a subject of artificial intelligence was taught, students improved their psychological needs for competence, autonomy…

Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses the science and engineering behind creating intelligent machines capable of tasks that typically rely on human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving. By analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and making predictions that were once impossible, AI has…

In this essay, we explored the feasibility of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for qualitative data analysis in equity-focused research. Specifically, we compare thematic analyses of interview transcripts conducted by human coders with those performed by GPT-3 using a zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting strategy. Our results suggest that…

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and educational leadership has garnered significant attention in recent years due to advancements in knowledge technology and digital literacy. Despite growing interest from scholars and policymakers over the past decade, a comprehensive review of AI in the context of educational leadership and…

Governments and private sectors are now putting in place the needed resources and infrastructure to harness the power of emerging technologies in education. One of these technologies is Artificial Intelligence (AI) which gained increasing attention due to its potential to enhance learning and teaching experiences, hence achieving better learning…

Generative AI tools (GenAI) are increasingly used for academic tasks, including qualitative data analysis for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). In our practice as academic developers, we are frequently asked for advice on whether this use for GenAI is reliable, valid, and ethical. Since this is a new field, we have not been able to…

The present study aimed to analyse if self-control, self-esteem and self-efficacy are related to the use of artificial intelligence tools. These tools are being incorporated to educational practices, but there is a lack of empirical evidence about the relation between artificial intelligence use by students and their personal and psychological…

In learnersourcing, automatic evaluation of student-generated content (SGC) is significant as it streamlines the evaluation process, provides timely feedback, and enhances the objectivity of grading, ultimately supporting more effective and efficient learning outcomes. However, the methods of aggregating students' evaluations of SGC face the…

The relative effectiveness of reflection either through student generation of contrasting cases or through provided contrasting cases is not well-established for adult learners. This paper presents a classroom study to investigate this comparison in a college level Computer Science (CS) course where groups of students worked collaboratively to…

The ethics surrounding the development and deployment of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is an important topic as institutions of higher education adopt the technology for educational purposes. Concurrently, stakeholders from various organizations have reviewed the literature about the ethics of genAI and proposed frameworks about it.…
