Artificial Intelligence (AI) has threatened higher education (HE). In doing so it has granted a portal that makes visible the dominant paradigm that has long defined what "intelligence" is and the narrow set of knowledges and literacies sanctioned for its pursuit. In this paper, we orient our thinking from this clarifying moment, asking:…

This article explores the diverse epistemic perspectives on intelligence, tracing its conceptual evolution across early Indian philosophy, Western philosophical thought and contemporary computational theories. Intelligence is examined as a dynamic, multifaceted phenomenon that transcends mere cognition, extending into embodied, ecological and…

In this paper, we begin a conversation with educators invested in developing epistemic insight. We argue that generative artificial intelligence provides an opportunity to make a necessary corrective to our understanding of knowledge and knowledge building. The use of the metaphors of such as 'human-as-machine' has inadvertently promoted a…

Introduction: The objective of the present study was to determine if emotional intelligence and family stress are predictors of satisfaction with studies in university students. Method: Cross-sectional predictive study with a quantitative approach. The population was made up of 414 university students of both sexes who applied the TMMS-24…

This study examines if the learning agility quotient (LAQ) is an important determinant for the work readiness of graduating accounting students in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) environment. Using a questionnaire survey involving 275 respondents, we find that those with higher intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional quotient (EQ) have…

Recently, the rise of generative AI tools such as "ChatGPT" have prompted deep and wide considerations about teaching and learning, student success, research and development, and the use of data for informed institutional decision making. In this volume, authors discuss specific concepts, considerations for use, and some specific tools…

The advancement of technology in education has transformed traditional classrooms into virtual learning environments yet concerns persist about how these technologies may inadvertently perpetuate racial stereotypes. Our study employed a 2 × 2 factorial design, with the first factor being the race of participants (Black, White) and the second…

This paper presents a systematic literature review of using Machine Learning (ML) techniques in higher education career recommendation. Despite the growing interest in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for personalized academic guidance, no previous reviews have synthesized the diverse methodologies in this field. Following the Kitchenham…

This novel study explores "AI-giarism," an emergent form of academic dishonesty involving AI and plagiarism, within the higher education context. The objective of this study is to investigate students' perception of adopting generative AI for research and study purposes, and their understanding of traditional plagiarism and their…

Technological progress has a significant impact on higher education and increases the popularity of artificial intelligence technologies in universities of different countries. This research was based at Tianshui Normal University in China. The authors examined the impact of an interactive learning environment based on artificial intelligence in…

ChatGPT, an extensively recognised language model created by OpenAI, has gained significant prominence across various industries, particularly in education. This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence students' intentions to adopt and utilise ChatGPT for their academic studies. The study used a Structural Equation Model (SEM) for…

This paper takes on and explores the disturbing and perhaps counter-intuitive notion that the university is the place where the intellect goes to die. This idea is explored alongside Georges Bataille's suggestion that the death of thought might actually be a worthy pursuit and only thought which seeks its own limits is worth striving for. The…

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three large language models (LLMs), GPT-4o, Llama 3.3 70B and Llama 3.1 8B, in redacting personally identifying information (PII) from forum data in massive open online courses (MOOCs). Design/methodology/approach: Forum posts from students enrolled in nine MOOCs were redacted by three…

We applied a balance theory of wisdom to thinking in the domain of science. In two studies, we administered maximum-performance scales measuring Scientific Wisdom, Scientific Reasoning, Scientific Creativity, and fluid and crystallized intelligence, and a typical-performance scale of self-assessed wisdom. Our Scientific Wisdom scale, along with…

The purpose of this study was to share the design and development case of Advising Virtual Assistant (AVA), a chatbot created to provide support in academic advising in higher education. By analyzing participants' usage data and chatbot performance, we attempted to understand how students engage with AVA to fulfill their advising needs. AVA…
