This study builds on the increasing relevance of technology integration in higher education, specifically in artificial intelligence (AI) usage in educational contexts. Background research highlights the limited exploration of AI training in educational programs, particularly within Latin America. AI has become increasingly pivotal in educational…

Questions around the use and regulation of Generative AI (GenAI) in educational contexts are widespread among both students and educators; an important step toward addressing these questions is to gain a full and nuanced understanding of the perspectives at play. To that end, this study surveyed 742 biology students across nine higher education…

Recent research in science education has largely focused on using ChatGPT to solve problems and evaluating its accuracy and problem-solving features. However, as artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an important tool for human development, effective strategies for learning and education using human-AI collaboration (HAI) learning remain…

Students struggle to acquire the needed energy understanding to meaningfully participate in the energy discourse about socially relevant topics, such as energy transformation or climate change. Identifying students on differing learning trajectories, as well as differences in knowledge used, is essential to help students achieve the needed energy…

Education 4.0 has emerged as a response to the Industrial Revolution 4.0, focusing on integrating technology into learning to support digital transformation and enhancing 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and collaboration. While technology provides convenience, it also challenges students to develop…

Improvements in science and technology have led to changes in education as well as in many other fields. These changes have made it necessary for today's individuals to have a set of skills in different fields. One of these fields is technology-related skills. Learning environments that require the use of technology undoubtedly play a key role in…

The study was conducted as a case study to enhance pre-service science teachers' readiness for integration, inquiry-based learning (IBL), the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and the application of real-life examples during their teacher training courses. The objective of the research was to explore pre-service science…

An undergraduate-level Computational Chemistry project was incorporated initially into a Physical Chemistry course and then into the laboratory curriculum in the subsequent application. Before the introduction of the project, the lectures covered quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, and kinetics while simultaneously including computational chemistry…

Unlock the Future of Education with "Learning with AI" Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming education with "Learning with AI," a pivotal co-publication from Johns Hopkins University Press and the National Science Teaching Association. Authored by Joan Monahan Watson, this essential guide empowers K-12 educators…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift in thinking regarding the safe delivery of wet laboratory courses. While we were fortunate to have the capacity to continue delivering wet laboratory experiments with physical distancing and other measures in place, modifications to the mechanisms of delivery within courses were necessary to minimize risk…

Inequities in student access to trigonometry and calculus are often associated with racial and socioeconomic privilege, and often influence introductory physics course performance. To mitigate these disparities in student preparedness, we developed a two-pronged intervention consisting of (1) incentivized supplemental math assignments and (2)…

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Artificial Intelligence Tools in Physics Teaching and Physics Education Research.] Artificial intelligence-based chatbots are increasingly influencing physics education because of their ability to interpret and respond to textual and visual inputs. This study evaluates the performance of two large…

Teacher professional development (TPD) programs enhance teachers' skills and competence. Since teachers are the primary beneficiaries, their perceptions are crucial in assessing TPD effectiveness and relevance, providing insights to improve future program design and evaluation. This study focused on Biology teachers, who were non-education…

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to explore the innovative integration of machine learning techniques into project-based learning rooted in Malay ethnoscience in Jambi, Indonesia. The research introduces a novel framework that utilizes educational data mining to personalize culturally responsive STEM education in under-resourced public schools.…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate how primary teachers, when taking part in digital didactic design (D[superscript 3]) workshops at the Digital Laboratory Centre at the university, develop their insights about how digital tools can be designed and further used in their teaching of science. The research question addresses how D[superscript 3]…
