The relative effectiveness of reflection either through student generation of contrasting cases or through provided contrasting cases is not well-established for adult learners. This paper presents a classroom study to investigate this comparison in a college level Computer Science (CS) course where groups of students worked collaboratively to…

Background: Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning technologies offer significant advantages, such as facilitating the delivery of reflective feedback in collaborative learning environments while minimising technical constraints for educators related to time and location. Recently, scholars' interest in reflective feedback has…

The rise of Artificial Intelligence technology has raised concerns about the potential compromise of privacy due to the handling of personal data. Private AI prevents cybercrimes and falsehoods and protects human freedom and trust. While Federated Learning offers a solution by model training across decentralized devices or servers, thereby…

This paper proposes a three-step approach to develop knowledge graphs that integrate textbook-based target knowledge graph with student dialogue-based knowledge graphs. The study was conducted in seventh-grade STEM classes, following a collaborative problem solving process. First, the proposed approach generates a comprehensive target knowledge…

This study uses a quasi-experimental design to explore the role of natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition technologies in supporting teacher interventions during collaborative STEM activities. The Speech Recognition Keywords Analysis System (SRKAS) was developed to extract keywords from student discussions, enabling real-time…

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into various educational domains has garnered significant attention. Among these technologies, ChatGPT stands out as a powerful tool that holds the potential to revolutionize the landscape of mathematics education. This study aims to explore the emerging trends and critical issues surrounding…

This study examined the impact of collaborative pre-task strategic planning followed by rehearsal on the quantity and novelty of content used in task performances when strategic planning is performed in different language conditions in an online classroom. Forty Japanese university students of English as a foreign language (EFL) from two intact…

Purpose: This paper aims to present a lesson that showcases how artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be chiefly used in L2 language classrooms to design culture-focussed telecollaboration tasks and aid their completion by students. Design/methodology/approach: The paper begins by reviewing traditional approaches and guidance for developing…

This dissertation investigates how collective process-oriented documentation tools, combined with Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, can enhance knowledge construction in hands-on, open-ended learning environments, such as makerspaces. Through a three-year design-based research, the study developed and tested a collective documentation…

This project aims to understand physics faculty responses to transitioning to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed 662 physics faculty from the United States following the Spring 2020 term; of these, 258 completed a follow-up survey after the Fall 2020 term. We used natural language processing to measure the sentiment scores…

Over the past two decades, there has been a surge in empirical research examining collaborative learning (CL) within translator and interpreter training contexts, with a particular emphasis on elucidating the perceptions and experiences of participants. In the present study, we explored qualitative studies on this topic through a meta-study…

Dialogue act (DA) classification plays an important role in understanding, interpreting and modeling dialogue. Dialogue acts (DAs) represent the intended meaning of an utterance, which is associated with the illocutionary force (or the speaker's intention), such as greetings, questions, requests, statements, and agreements. In natural language…

This research aims to address the current gaps in computer-assisted translation (CAT) courses offered in bachelor's and master's programmes in scientific and technical translation (STT). A multi-framework course design methodology is proposed to support CAT teachers from the computer engineering field, improve student engagement, and promote…

A perfect writing skill has been deemed instrumental to achieving competence in EFL, yet it is considered one of the most impressive learning domains. This study investigates the impact of human-AI collaborative feedback on the writing proficiency of EFL students. It examines key teaching domains, including the teaching environment, teacher…

This research study aims to explore students' perceptions and reflections on the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) in a Thai-English translation course in the EFL context. The participants of this study included forty-nine students who were enrolled in the Thai-English translation course. The participants were asked to produce a…
