The rapid advancements in generative AI models present new opportunities in the education sector. However, it is imperative to acknowledge and address the potential risks and concerns that may arise with their use. We analyzed Twitter data to identify critical concerns related to the use of ChatGPT in education. We employed BERT-based topic…

Technological tools that provide automated feedback on classroom teaching afford a unique opportunity for educators to engage in self-reflection and work towards improvement goals, in particular to ensure that their instructional environment is equitable and productive for students. More information is needed about how teachers experience…

Modernizing classrooms can empower educators and spark engagement to better prepare students for the digital age. This Spotlight will help you leverage technology to meet students' individual needs; learn how one district is using AI to heighten instruction and optimize teachers' time; review the tech skills students need for the digital age;…

Learning around artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technologies that attends to power is an urgent and widely felt priority among the learning sciences and CS ed broadly. Popular approaches to AI education focus on technical skills, with far less theoretical and practical work around critical and justice-centered AI learning. Adding to this…

While ongoing efforts have continuously emphasized the integration of ChatGPT with science teaching and learning, there are limited empirical studies exploring its actual utility in the classroom. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the lesson plans developed by 29 pre-service elementary teachers and assessing how they integrated ChatGPT…

This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in high school education, focusing on its implications for student motivation and learning through the framework of Self-Determination Theory. As AI technologies like ChatGPT4 become more prevalent in educational settings, their potential to enhance learning by catering to…

Today, the main aim of educational institutes is to provide a high level of education to students, as career selection is one of the most important and quite difficult decisions for learners, so it is essential to examine students' capabilities and interests. Higher education institutions frequently face higher dropout rates, low academic…

Background: Introducing new technologies in education sparks debates, disrupting traditional practices, and requiring teacher adaptation. ChatGPT is an example. Research explores its benefits and concerns in education, with recommendations for classroom use. Nevertheless, limited evidence supports ChatGPT as a tool for supporting English as a…

The student-generated question (SGQ) strategy is an effective instructional strategy for developing students' higher order cognitive and critical thinking. However, assessing the quality of SGQs is time consuming and domain experts intensive. Previous automatic evaluation work focused on surface-level features of questions. To overcome this…

The use of technologies in the classroom has become one of the main allies for university teachers in pedagogical innovation, especially during, and after the pandemic. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to investigate how different types of innovative technologies are most effective in increasing motivation among university…

Generative artificial intelligence provides both opportunities and challenges for higher education. Existing literature has not properly investigated how this technology would impact assessment in higher education. This scoping review took a forward-thinking approach to investigate how generative artificial intelligence transforms assessment in…

Digital sandbox games such as "Minecraft" can be used to assess and support creativity. Doing so, however, requires an understanding of what is deemed creative in this game context. One approach is to understand how Minecrafters describe creativity in their communities, and how much those descriptions overlap with the established…

This report examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in student affairs, demonstrating its potential to personalize student interactions, automate routine processes, and leverage data insights for informed decision-making. AI presents unprecedented opportunities to enhance the student experience. The report emphasizes…

In this paper, and as a tribute to our friend and collaborator Barbara White, we explore how Generative AI (GenAI) technology can create stimulating new learning environments that support complex sense-making activities. We present a case study of expert use of a chat-based generative AI tool to examine the feasibility of using human-computer…

Instructors use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) language models (i.e., chatbots) as an educational resource will require an understanding of students' AI literacy, namely their ability to critically reflect on the relevance, trustworthiness, and quality of these tools in the context of chemistry. This study sought to describe students' AI literacy…
