This study examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) writing tools in academic writing among Nigerian university students, highlighting both the potential benefits and significant challenges. With increasing numbers of people utilising AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Quillbot, Nigerian academics and students…

Computational thinking encompasses proficiencies in computer science and general problem-solving and can support students' learning across subject areas and success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and career pathways. To support students' STEM outcomes, many school districts are offering computer science…

Role-play tasks have long been used by researchers and practitioners to observe L2 (Second language) speaking performance. This social-situated simulation allows students to employ their language skills to converse about real-life themes. While role-plays are highly plausible to actively engage students in interactive learning environments, it has…

Reading motivation is critical in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, insufficient reading motivation leads to several problems concerning the learners' reading development. One of the strategies to maintain and boost learners' motivation is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into language teaching practices. One…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots have shown great application potential and research value in the field of language learning, especially in second language acquisition (SLA). Objectives: This study aims to validate the value of GenAI chatbots for SLA and elucidate which moderating variables affect learning outcomes.…

This study examines the impact of participation in AR integrated enrichment (GIFTLED Method) workshops and classroom implementations on teachers' competencies in differentiation practices and the use of Instructional Technologies (IT) in the STEAM education of gifted students. Focusing on the development of teachers' Gifted Technological…

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT become increasingly integrated into academic settings, understanding students' perspectives is critical--particularly in underrepresented regions such as Lebanon and Palestine. A mixed-methods approach using survey data and thematic analysis of in-depth interviews was employed to analyze students' perceived…

This study examined how COVID-19 disrupted adolescent education, social interactions, and mental health by conducting exploratory cluster analysis to identify distinct profiles of technology use and physical activities, then comparing resulting clusters on demographics, social support, and mental health dimensions. Using the first wave of the…

We present a case study of co-creating a policy for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in a writing course at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Students and faculty in two sections of a required 1st-year writing course worked to draft and respond to a policy about AI and then reflected on the experience. Student reflections…

Given the importance of conversation practice in language learning, chatbots, especially ChatGPT, have attracted considerable attention for their ability to converse with learners using natural language. This review contributes to the literature by examining the currently unclear overall effect of using chatbots on language learning performance…

The aim of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity levels of teacher candidates using CART analysis and to develop a predictive model using machine learning algorithms. Additionally, this study provides a framework for understanding the relationship between internet usage and intercultural sensitivity. The participants comprised 416…

The potential of educational augmented reality systems to improve students' learning performance, motivation, and cognitive load has been demonstrated by recent studies. To help students learn the design history material, this study suggests an AR-integrated learning application strategy. In this study, we use Modernism as the theoretical…

Higher education is in a period of massive transformation and uncertainty. Not only are current events impacting how institutions operate, but technological advancement--particularly in AI and virtual reality--are reshaping how students engage with content, how cognition is understood, and how learning itself is documented and valued. Our newly…

Artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT have emerged as a disruptive force in higher education. Stakeholders are debating the integration and relevance of AI in education to improve student learning outcomes. Further investigation is needed to determine not only the pedagogical impact but also address issues such as ethics, bias, and…

This report summarises the findings of the 2024 EUA Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Group on 'Learning and teaching in situations of crisis: needs and support provision'. The group explored how crises--ranging from pandemics and natural disasters to political interference, armed conflicts and technological disruptions--affect higher…
