With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), smart education has become an attractive topic. In a smart education system, automated classrooms and examination rooms could help reduce the economic cost of teaching, and thus improve teaching efficiency. However, existing AI algorithms suffer from low surveillance accuracies and high…

Generative AI systems, such as ChatGPT and Bard, can significantly enhance education by providing personalized learning experiences. They can tailor content, quizzes, and explanations to individual students; act as virtual tutors, and offer instant feedback. However, privacy concerns have arisen because of the need for personal data. Ensuring…

Mathematical modelling and modelling activities are important for making sense of mathematical concepts in different extracurricular and daily life contexts. However, teachers may have difficulties in designing these activities in a way to establish meaningful relationships with real life, in accordance with the modeling process and the objectives…

As education constitutes an essential development standard for individuals and societies, researchers have been exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this domain and have embedded the technology within it through a myriad of applications. In order to provide a detailed overview of the efforts, this article pays particular attention…

This paper aims to present a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of research papers published on chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT), an OpenAI-developed large-scale generative language model. The study's objective is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the present status of research on ChatGPT and identify…

Background, context, and purpose of the study: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, holding promising potential for supporting the design and implementation of quality STEM education. However, there is a lack of data-based research studying the…

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.…

Anonymous assessment, introduced to higher education over the last twenty-five years to reduce attainment gaps, is a now common place. This paper suggests some ways in which anonymous assessment could be reconceptualised. We argue that there is scant empirical evidence of anonymity having worked in reducing attainment gaps in higher education. It…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into engineering education is essential for fostering innovation, strategic thinking and interdisciplinary skills in the intelligent era. On this basis, this study aims to track and visually represent the research outputs associated with AI applications in engineering education, providing insights…

The review research is prepared to make the higher education institutions aware of the benefits and risks, the implementation strategy required, and a detailed roadmap needed, and to finally conclude the report with some recommendations. A systematic review and outcomes provide unique findings with an up-to-date information of artificial…

Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal.

This study aims to validate the applicability of the technology acceptance model (TAM) in the context of using Chat GPT as an educational tool. TAM serves as the theoretical foundation for this research. To investigate the antecedents of technology acceptance, this study focused on three key attributes: information credibility, enjoyment, and…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), such as ChatGPT, has taken the world by storm. ChatGPT attracted 1 million users in 5 days and 100 million users in 2 months since its launch in November 2022. In this first article of a two-part series, we discuss the overall dynamic frontier of GenAI, its potential uses and benefits in education,…

Software powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is used widely in the United States in education as a tool for teaching, administration, student assessment, and other purposes. Curriculum delivery, tutoring, support for students with disabilities and resource allocations are some of the applications of the technology. The normative, ideological,…

Aim/Purpose: This paper aims to address the gap in comprehensive, real-world applications of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education, particularly in higher education settings. Despite the evident potential of GenAI in transforming educational practices, there is a lack of consolidated knowledge about its practical effectiveness…
