Persistent literacy skills deficits hinder educational attainment, limit labour market opportunities, and exacerbate socioeconomic inequalities. This paper evaluates the causal effect of an AI-driven Computer-Assisted Learning (CAL) program implemented by the Government of Madrid, which features personalised, adaptive content and real-time…

This dissertation presents a novel theory of event memory along with an associated computational model that embodies the claims of view which is integrated within a cognitive architecture. Event memory is a general-purpose storage for personal past experience. Literature on event memory reveals that people can remember events by both the…

"Reading the Machine: Digital Reading Practices and the Contemporary U.S. Novel," investigates how emerging information technologies--networked devices, software programs, and algorithmic protocols--redefine cultural forms of textual production and reception. Focusing on the longstanding literary form of the novel as a point of entry,…

Automatic short answer grading is an important research direction in the exploration of how to use artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools to improve education. Current state-of-the-art approaches use neural language models to create vectorized representations of students responses, followed by classifiers to predict the score. However, these…

In this article, we discuss ethical issues related to using and disclosing artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT and other systems based on large language models (LLMs), to write or edit scholarly manuscripts. Some journals, such as "Science," have banned the use of LLMs because of the ethical problems they raise concerning…

This paper systematically explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) generate explanations of code examples of the type used in intro-to-programming courses. As we show, the nature of code explanations generated by LLMs varies considerably based on the wording of the prompt, the target code examples being explained, the programming language, the…

Due to the difficulties of speech signal processing, there is still a considerable gap between the ability of machines to correctly process and that of human beings. In order to overcome the defects of isolated learning and noise sensitivity of SOM, this paper proposes a new time self-organization model (TSOM) from the perspective of deep…

The chapter explores the possibilities related to using ChapGPT in tax education. Specifically, we address how tax has historically been taught in higher education and how the use of new and developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT can enhance this process going forward. The key takeaway is that AI tools are just that --…

This study analyzed the impact of AI teaching on teaching quality, and revealed the mediating effect of student motivation and teacher expertise in the relationship of AI teaching and teaching quality. Based on the AI-TPACK theory, this study explored the impact of AI teaching on teaching quality and its mediating mechanism using questionnaires…

Background: With the arrival of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools, psychology educators are rethinking their assessment practices. Objective: This paper describes one approach to integrating genAI into an assessment designed to promote psychological literacy. Method: Students used ChatGPT to generate a media release about a…

ChatGPT, as an example of generative artificial intelligence, possesses high-level conversational and problem-solving capabilities supported by powerful computational models and big data. However, the powerful performance of ChatGPT might enhance learner dependency. Although it has not yet been confirmed, many teachers and scholars are also…

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of AI-assisted pair programming on undergraduate students' intrinsic motivation, programming anxiety, and performance, relative to both human-human pair programming and individual programming approaches. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was conducted over two academic years (2023-2024) with 234…

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…

Given the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for language education, this article provides a review of selected empirical studies on artificial intelligence in language education, spanning from 2013 to October 2023. Data for this review were gathered from the Web of Science, Eric ProQuest, Scopus, and five top…

The emergence of Generative AI such as ChatGPT--a cutting-edge pre-trained language model--has garnered unprecedented attention from educational researchers worldwide. Its remarkable performance in knowledge generation and natural language dialogue has sparked global scholarly interest in its implications for education. Research on higher-order…
