This paper presents a thematic review of the anti-plagiarism instruction of content specialists as reported in a range of articles published in the decade of 2014-2023. A total of 28 articles were identified through systematic searching and a ChatGPT-assisted selection process based on a set of inclusion criteria. Specifically, we aimed to include…

Social science theories often postulate systems of causal relationships among variables, which are commonly represented using directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). As non-parametric causal models, DAGs require no assumptions about the functional form of the hypothesized relationships. Nevertheless, to simplify empirical evaluation, researchers typically…

How well can individuals' parental background and previous life experiences predict their mid-life socioeconomic status (SES) attainment? This question is central to stratification research, as a strong power of earlier experiences in predicting later-life outcomes signals substantial intra- or intergenerational status persistence, or put simply,…

Generative AI (hereinafter GenAI) technology, such as ChatGPT, is already influencing the higher education sector. In this work, we focused on the impact of GenAI on the academic integrity of assessments within higher education institutions, as GenAI can be used to circumvent assessment approaches within the sector, compromising their quality. The…

Artificial intelligence companies and researchers are currently working to create Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): AI systems that significantly exceed human problem-solving speed, power, and precision across the full range of human solvable problems. Some have claimed that achieving ASI -- for better or worse -- would be the most significant…

The emergence of ChatGPT, and other generative AI (GenAI) tools, has elicited dystopian and utopian proclamations concerning their potential impact on education. This paper suggests that responses to GenAI are based on often-implicit perceptions of naturalness and artificiality. To examine the depiction and function of these concepts, Gideon…

Can metaphorical reasoning involving embodied experience--such as color perception--be learned from the statistics of language alone? Recent work finds that colorblind individuals robustly understand and reason abstractly about color, implying that color associations in everyday language might contribute to the metaphorical understanding of color.…

This study explores the factors that limit Malaysian international students' interest in using ChatGPT as a learning tool for Islamic Studies in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative narrative inquiry design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with students who possess Islamic educational backgrounds. The findings indicate three key…

The increasing rate of permanent school closures in U.S. public school districts presents unprecedented challenges for administrators and communities alike. This study develops an early-warning indicator model to predict mass closure events -- defined as a district closing at least 10% of its schools -- five years in advance. Leveraging…

While Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies like ChatGPT are revolutionizing education by offering unique interaction opportunities and prompting legislative shifts toward AI literacy, there remains a significant gap in understanding the factors that influence their acceptance and effective use in educational settings. In…

This research works on creating a hybrid Knowledge Recommendation System (KRS) for an Entrepreneurship Course using the Knowledge Graph (KG) and Clustering Technologies (CTs). The system aims at improving students' learning experience by providing relevant learning materials and even focusing on learner preferences. These results are already part…

This article presents a conceptual analysis around the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning English writing in higher education. AI contributes to helping students find fresh ideas and content for writing, as well as correcting grammar, typos, and punctuation, as well as paraphrasing, and enhancing writing quality. There has…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including education. One of the most promising applications of AI in education is in the development and adaptation of Open Educational Resources (OER). COL's Teacher-in the-Loop (TiL-AI) initiative empowers teachers and TVET trainers across the Commonwealth to leverage…

This article explores how Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU) uses its AI tool, Spark, to enhance student learning. Spark personalizes the learning experience, offers 24/7 tutoring, and fosters collaboration, leading to improved academic performance. The tool complements traditional teaching, providing equitable, accessible support to students…

This study, grounded in the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory, aims to explore how stimulus factors (school support) influence cognitive organisms (psychological resilience, self-efficacy, attitude toward AI, and acceptance of AI), which in turn enhance behavioral responses (AI literacy), while also examining the detrimental effects of AI…
