This study focuses on the interpretation and implementation of artificial intelligence policies in higher education for mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. The researchers applied a conceptual comparative review of regulatory frameworks and institutional discretion by utilising Policy Implementation Theory and Multi-Level Governance. From the…

Since 2022, Artificial Intelligence has taken the education field by storm, resulting in a proliferation of research on AI's benefits, challenges, and pitfalls. A particular area of concern and uncertainty centers around AI and its impact on higher-order thinking skills. This qualitative systematic review comprising 31 articles aims to gather and…

The study investigates pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs towards digital education. Using a simple random sampling technique, a total of 120 pre-service teachers were selected as participants. Data were collected through a self-efficacy questionnaire specifically designed to assess various factors influencing digital education readiness.…

Exam anxiety has been well-documented to reduce student performance in undergraduate biology courses, especially for students from marginalized groups, which can contribute to achievement gaps. Our exploratory study surveyed 61 undergraduate biology students to better understand how exams affect their anxiety levels, focusing on the impact of exam…

ChatGPT, a chatbot based on a Generative Pre-trained Transformer model, can be used as a teaching tool in the educational setting, providing text in an interactive way. However, concerns point out risks and disadvantages, as possible incorrect or irrelevant answers, privacy concerns, and copyright issues. This study aims to categorize the…

There is a clear disconnect between the linear and deductive presentation of written proofs and the non-linear and messy process of constructing one. This disconnect poses challenges for students who do not often have opportunities, or the necessary supports, to navigate the transition between the two, quite often contributing to feelings of…

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its subfield, machine learning, have become indispensable across various industries. With the aid of low-code/no-code development platform like KNIME, understanding and applying machine learning algorithms has been simplified for various fields, including business and information systems, as these platforms reduce…

This study investigates ChatGPT's efficacy in fostering autonomous ESP writing development across different proficiency levels, while systematically evaluating its strengths and limitations in enhancing specific writing competencies. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was employed with a purposively sampled cohort of 176 Saudi university…

In this paper the potentiality of meaning generation in a constructionist environment through an interplay between problem solving and problem posing is examined. The meaning-making process is examined by following how a Grade-10 student is engaged in an iterative cycle of reformulating and solving the initial problem within a Logo-based…

Building on the "hole in the wall" experiments and TED Prize project (2014-2016), this study examined long-term sustainability and impact of the School in the Cloud (SC) initiative using Self-Organised Learning Environments (SOLEs) and minimally invasive and technology-mediated pedagogy in India, the UK, and the USA. Grounded in emergent…

Background: For students, digital literacy is an essential competency, and technology-supported learning has become one of the most crucial methods for developing students' digital literacy. However, no academic consensus exists regarding whether technology-supported learning is effective in improving students' digital literacy. Objectives: This…

Nowadays, mathematics education providing challenging, interesting, interactive and technology-oriented learning experiences to students attracts attention both in research and practice. Among those experiences, competitions, due to their role of integrating the interest and desire of students to compete in education, challenging their potentials…

Evidence from various domains underlines the critical role that human factors, and especially trust, play in adopting technology by practitioners. In the case of Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered tools, the issue is even more complex due to practitioners' AI-specific misconceptions, myths and fears (e.g., mass unemployment and privacy…

The aim of this research is to propose indicators of epistemic and mediational suitability to assess tasks designed in a mobile learning context, using theoretical and methodological elements of the onto-semiotic approach (OSA) and the SAMR model (substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition). With these indicators, 110 tasks…

Interest in virtual reality technologies has increased significantly in recent years, and an effort is being made to integrate it into educational environments. This study aims to investigate the impact of synchronous distance courses in the Virtual Reality (VR) learning environment (via vAcademia) and Web-based (via Adobe Connect) learning…
