Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of widely adopted but under-studied synthetic humanlike spokespersons (SHS) compared to organic human spokespersons in workplace training videos. The primary aim is to evaluate whether employees will rate training videos more negatively when they perceive their trainer to be synthetic such…

This study examines the pedagogical, ethical, and political dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI) in early childhood STEM education from a theoretical perspective. As digital technologies become increasingly prevalent in education, AI applications offer significant opportunities in areas such as personalized learning experiences, game-based…

The current educational system relies heavily on manual grading, posing challenges such as delayed feedback and grading inaccuracies. Automated grading tools (AGTs) offer solutions but come with limitations. To address this, "GRAD-AI" is introduced, an advanced AGT that combines automation with teacher involvement for precise grading,…

This study addresses the gap in understanding graduate students' sustained engagement behavior (SEB) with generative artificial intelligence (GAI) by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT), and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) into a comprehensive embedding model. It introduces the Technology…

In today's fast-paced digital world, understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) is crucial for management students. This paper explores using the Turing test, a famous method to see if AI can act like a human, as a key tool in management education. The focus is on how this test can help students learn about AI more deeply. This paper introduces an…

Background: This study aims to explore the diverse applications of contemporary technological innovations in education and to propose effective strategies for their integration into the curriculum, addressing the complexities and collaborative efforts required for meaningful learning experiences. Methods: This systematic review examines the…

The rapid development of higher education in China has significantly advanced physical education within universities, contributing to students' comprehensive development and national health improvement. However, the expansion of university enrollment has introduced challenges such as a decrease in per capita sports resources and declines in…

This study investigated the impact of AI-powered adaptive testing on student academic performance and test anxiety, comparing its effectiveness to traditional testing methods. Using a quantitative research approach, hierarchical regression analysis was employed to examine the influence of adaptive testing on student outcomes, controlling for…

Background: Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into psychological education represents an opportunity in teaching methodologies, offering possibilities for instructors. Despite its potential, there is a significant gap in knowledge regarding how psychology instructors implement AI tools in their teaching practices. Objective: The primary…

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) applications have recently become more powerful and accessible. There has been much discussion about the potential impacts of AI on learning and sample applications. Yet, little research exists on how and to what extent AI is being used in educational contexts. Objective: The purpose of this study was to…

Creative thinking stems from the cognitive process that fosters the creation of new ideas and problem-solving solutions. Artificial intelligence systems and neural network models can reduce the intricacy of understanding creative cognition. For instance, the generation of ideas could be symbolized as patterns of binary code in which clusters of…

Since 2018, institutions of higher education have been aware of the "enrollment cliff" which refers to expected declines in future enrollment. This paper attempts to describe how prepared institutions in Ohio are for this future by looking at trends leading up to the anticipated decline. Using IPEDS data from 2012-2022, we analyze trends…

The future of higher education is in crisis. Between falling undergraduate enrollment, rising student debt, program elimination, and widespread faculty burnout, families across America are left wondering: Is college worth it? In "The Conversation on Higher Ed," editor Mary Churchill explores the complicated landscape of academic life in…

This book is multi-dimensional exploration of Ivan Illich's critique of institutionalized education. It dissects, analyzes, and understands the implications of his critique for the future of education in a world increasingly influenced by technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). The book outlines the problems with current educational…

This study investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) by undergraduates majoring in Instrumentation and Control Engineering (ICE) at University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. We conducted a questionnaire survey to assess the awareness and usage habits of these LLMs among ICE undergraduates in ICE courses, focusing on the model…
