This study explores the dynamics of ChatGPT on perceptions and challenges encountered by students and lecturers in a South African open distance e-learning [ODeL] university. It investigates whether ChatGPT disrupts traditional perceptions of online distance education held by students and lecturers and identifies specific functions and features of…

Background/purpose: The emergence of educational technologies has profoundly transformed teaching and learning methods in health sciences. This bibliometric study aims to identify the most widely used educational practices in this field between 2014 and 2024, exploring their applications within a constantly evolving technological context.…

Educational bodies are weighing up the extent to which generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is embedded within educational settings. Although researchers have examined how (generative) AI can be used for effective teaching and learning, less is known about how genAI was being integrated within teachers' practice shortly after the wide-scale…

In this article, we explore the intersection of creativity, education, and technology, with a focus on the impact of Generative AI (GenAI). We delve into the transformative potential of GenAI in redefining educational and creative processes and challenging our existing notions of learning and creativity. Through a conversation with renowned…

Since GPT-4's release it has shown novel abilities in a variety of domains. This paper explores the use of LLM-generated explanations as on-demand assistance for problems within the ASSISTments platform. In particular, we are studying whether GPT-generated explanations are better than nothing on problems that have no supports and whether…

Bibliometric mapping is widely used in educational technology research to visualize research field development (e.g. the current status and trend). However, there has been limited research examining the present state, challenges, and potential applications of bibliometric mapping techniques in the field of educational technology. In an effort to…

The article provides an answer to the question: 'How can ChatGPT be used as an educational technology for learning?' by identifying its educational benefits and downsides for teaching and learning as seen from the educators' perspective. To answer this question a mixed methods case study was carried out in the context of two workshops involving a…

This exploratory analysis investigates the integration of ChatGPT in self-directed learning (SDL). Specifically, this study examines YouTube content creators' language-learning experiences and the role of ChatGPT in their SDL, building upon Song and Hill's conceptual model of SDL in online contexts. Thematic analysis of interviews with 19…

Contributions: An adoption framework to include generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the university curriculum. It identifies and highlights the role of different stakeholders (university management, students, staff, etc.) during the adoption process. It also proposes an objective approach based upon an evaluation matrix to assess the…

ChatGPT, a type of generative artificial intelligence, recently became the fastest-growing app of all time, with over 100 million users. The increasing use of this chatbot has led educators to fear that its use will cause various problems, including cheating. However, using ChatGPT can lead to desirable outcomes. Teachers can use this technology…

This study explores the effectiveness of chatbots empowered by generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in assisting university students' creative problem-solving (CPS). We used quasi-experiments to compare the performance of dialogue dynamics, learner perceptions, and practical competencies in CPS during students' interactions with: (1) a GAI…

Amidst the integration of AI tools in education, ChatGPT is considered prevalent for its potential capacities. Although research into this phenomenon has been conducted by worldwide scholars, little has been known about the perceptions of Ph.D. students of non-English speaking countries. Hence, this qualitative study shifted the focus to this…

Video games have emerged as a medium for learning by creating engaging environments, encouraging creative and deep thinking, and exposing learners to complex problems. Unfortunately, even though there are increasing examples of video games for many basic science and engineering concepts, similar efforts for higher level engineering concepts such…

When implementing digital technologies into mathematics teaching and learning situations, new representational and communication infrastructures arise that allow for new speech acts and actions. These new speech acts and actions are also referred to as 'representational expressivity'. Such expressivity arises in the intersection of…

The burgeoning role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education prompts crucial discussions regarding its implications for teaching and learning. This qualitative study probes the argumentative perspectives of 118 teacher candidates from Igdir University on the integration of AI into educational practices. Employing Toulmin's (1958) model, we…
