Academic mentorship is essential for faculty development, yet mid-career researchers have limited resources. This study explores AI-assisted mentorship models using biosketch analysis, AI mapping, and human expertise to enhance mentor selection. Tools like Google NotebookLM and Mural streamlined coding, visualization, and theme identification,…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) introduces new opportunities for society. While some universities have adopted GAI with a more hostile stance, others have done so with a more progressive perspective. In light of this contradiction, the main query is what is causing this controversy. The ethical issues surrounding GAI and academic…

Large language models (LLMs) are now widely accessible, reaching learners across all educational levels. This development has raised concerns that their use may circumvent essential learning processes and compromise the integrity of established assessment formats. In physics education, where problem solving plays a central role in both instruction…

This article examines the historical and contemporary mobilizations of 'Luddism' as a mode of resistance to technological inevitability, particularly in response to the integration of generative AI into education. Tracing three historical 'waves' of Luddism -- the original nineteenth century machine-breakers, the Neo-Luddites of the late twentieth…

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is transforming the educational landscape and calls for educators who are not only digitally proficient but also cognitively adaptive. This study investigated the relationship between digital competence and attitudes toward AI among pre-service…

The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and its successor, UTAUT2, were widely recognised frameworks for understanding technology adoption in organisational and consumer contexts. UTAUT2 extended the original framework by introducing constructs such as hedonic motivation, price value, and habit, broadening its applicability…

This paper explores how Donald Schön's concept of generative metaphor can serve as a conceptual frame for problematising AI in education. Our focus is on the metaphor of AI as autotune for knowledge, as originally proposed by educator Dave Cormier. Through a close reading and exploration of the metaphor, we draw on Schön's conceptual materials to…

As educational institutions grapple with questions about increasingly complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, finding effective methods for explaining these technologies and their societal implications to students remains a major challenge. This study proposes a methodological approach utilising Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and UNESCO's…

This article investigates the state of AI regulations from diverse geopolitical contexts including the European Union, the United States, China, and several African nations, and their implications for learning analytics (LA) and AI research. We used a comparative analysis approach of 11 AI regulatory documents and applied the OECD framework to…

This paper examines how UNESCO's "Guidance for Generative AI in Education and Research" uses personification metaphors to describe artificial intelligence and how these linguistic choices shape public understanding of AI's educational role. Through critical discourse analysis, we identify personification metaphors that attribute human…

This case study reports on the perceptions and dialogic behaviors of 15 preservice K-12 teachers engaging in simulation-based teaching practice with AI-powered student agents. Data included transcripts of text-based classroom dialogue, interviews, observations, and conversation logs. Using mixed-methods analyses and a framework of ambitious…

To explore the role of parents in secondary school students' persistence in human-AI hybrid learning, this mixed-method study proposes a model that integrates active and restrictive parental mediation into an established baseline model from prior research. Using structural equation modelling to analyse data from 302 students, the proposed model…

We present the results of a study investigating the potential role of the generative AI GPT-4 in scaffolding students' metacognitive activities during problem-solving. The theoretical framework according to which students' interactions with GPT-4 are analysed is based on three main components: the notion of utilisation scheme within the frame of…

The increasing volume of cyber threats, combined with a critical shortage of skilled professionals and rising burnout among practitioners, highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions in cybersecurity operations. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) offers promising potential to augment human analysts in cybersecurity, but its…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping the research paradigm of doctoral education, with growing evidence suggesting that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools could promote innovative behaviour among doctoral students. However, the use of AI tools in scientific research should be approached with special caution, as…
