This study investigates the effectiveness of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot to enhance learning and engagement in a self-paced, asynchronous online R programming course. To contextualize the development and potential of RAG chatbots, we conducted a literature review on existing approaches and their use in educational settings.…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is making its impact on all levels of education. However, these tools must be used with caution, and it is up to instructors to teach their students responsible use of Gen AI. Therefore, there is a need to understand views of teaching staff on how to integrate Gen AI into education to maximize its…

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) into public relations and communication education presents new challenges and ethical considerations for educators. This paper presents a series of activities to explore implications of genAI adoption in public relations and communication professions, focusing on the need to equip…

This study aims to uncover the prompts most frequently repeated by pre-service teachers when using the Copilot technique, as well as their reflections on its use in preparing and planning science lessons for fourth graders. The qualitative research methodology with an exploratory case-study design was conducted on a purposeful sample of 20…

There is growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) tools, especially high-profile tools like ChatGPT, and these tools now appear to be part of the education experience for many high school students. To investigate students' use of AI tools for school assignments, their impressions of how using the tools might affect them cognitively and…

ChatGPT has emerged as a transformative technology with its remarkable ability to generate human-like responses, propelling its widespread adoption. While prior research has investigated the general landscape of AI-driven tools such as ChatGPT, the current study focuses specifically on exploring learners' experiences and perceptions regarding the…

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) software has recently increased exponentially. Generative AI capabilities have moved from fiction to fact. This technology is changing the way we engage in Entrepreneurship, research it, and teach it. The significant impact on Entrepreneurship teaching is the focus of this paper. Any instructor, regardless…

Launched in November of 2022, the generative artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT garnered immediate societal interest and adoption as its advanced large language modeling proved capable of producing sophisticated, human-like responses to user-generated prompts. In this preliminary study, K-12 teachers in the United States were surveyed on their…

This study explores the use of artificial intelligence in grading high-stakes physics exams, emphasizing the application of psychometric methods, particularly item response theory, to evaluate the reliability of AI-assisted grading. We examine how grading rubrics can be iteratively refined and how threshold parameters can determine when…

This study examines the feasibility and potential advantages of using large language models, in particular GPT-4o, to perform partial credit grading of large numbers of student written responses to introductory level physics problems. Students were instructed to write down verbal explanations of their reasoning process when solving one conceptual…

Today's youth are growing up in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) technologies shape how we live, work, play, socialize, and navigate our world. This rapid technological change is already significantly shifting individuals' lives and the opportunities they can obtain. Thus, researchers, educators, and government leaders must consider how…

This case study explores the integration of language-generating artificial intelligence (LGAI) in K-12 instructional planning, focusing on a middle school science teacher's use of these tools within the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The study investigates two primary concerns: how LGAI is utilized for lesson…

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the approach to learning in education has transitioned from traditional to online (distance learning). It is undeniable that distance education has become a new approach to learning. In the past decade, many institutions have offered distance learning approaches. However, the effectiveness of distance…

Most regular practices of teacher-action research in ELT consist of identifying performance problems and providing specific treatments for the sake of improvement. However, teacher-action research does not dictate a specific methodology. The present teacher-action research is concerned with the implementation of an Advanced Prosody course in the…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, we are witnessing an unprecedented surge in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This rapid surge necessitates a thorough exploration of how faculty members, instructional designers, and researchers adopt AI, especially GenAI, using learning design practices.
