Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems demonstrate impressive capabilities in providing various forms of feedback. However, claims to its potential overlook a fundamental aspect of effective feedback between humans: recognition between teacher and student. This paper critically examines the role of GenAI in providing feedback within…

The effect of social support on academic procrastination among health professions students and its potential mechanism are yet to be fully explored. A serial mediation model informed by self-determination theory (SDT), was here established to explore that effect, as well as the mediating roles of academic self-efficacy and intrinsic learning…

Exemplars are key examples chosen to represent designated levels of competence or quality. This study attempts to explore the use of exemplars in a Chinese-English translation teaching context. It involved the teacher-researcher using three exemplars of different quality to help 31 third-year translation majors evaluate their own translation and…

Digital citizenship behavior is the appropriate behavior when engaging with digital technology ethically, responsibly, and safely by individuals. This study intends to investigate college students' digital citizenship behavior based on background variables during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tamil Nadu among the college students who chose different…

Studies of financial stress, college debt, campus climate, and sense of belonging have each been conducted to better understand student retention and persistence, but few studies have explored the relationship between these variables and student outcomes. Researchers have found that financial need has a negative effect on student's psychological…

Student evaluations of teaching can be unreliable indicators of effective teaching and affected by implicit bias. We conduct a randomized experiment at a selective U.S. liberal arts college in which we vary both the instrument and timing at which we solicit student feedback to assess whether either intervention can mitigate gender disparities in…

Higher education aims to educate diverse professionals to operate in an increasingly complex world. Yet, academic assessment practices still rely upon standardisation, namely, that all students should demonstrate their achievement in ways that are largely comparable, if not identical. In this study, we theorise assessment standardisation as a…

Background/purpose: This study aims to improve students' self-awareness of various study programs. Self-awareness establishes a vital supporting aspect in students' academic accomplishment, as it allows them to identify their potential and make confident decisions related to mastering course content. This research employed the combination of…

Background/purpose: Scientific thinking is a critical competency for navigating the complexities of the global era, requiring the application of scientific methods to understand, analyze, and evaluate diverse phenomena and problems. This study examines the effectiveness of Team-Based Project Research (TBPR) in enhancing scientific thinking skills…

Study Skills in any guise are integral to Higher Education worldwide, existing to help student success. Some argue generic or bolt-on Study Skills do not help with success, others that embedded Study Skills do, but no-one advocates actually evaluating Study Skills in a context of success defined as helping with student educational gain and…

Background/purpose: This study examines the influence of project-based learning on the writing of scientific papers that have ecological literacy. This research is important because ecological literacy is a key competency in facing the environmental challenges of the 21st century. Materials/methods: This study uses an experimental method. The main…

Learning, and especially the broader learning process, requires an intellectual and emotional effort. Such emotional effort can come with greater risks for some learner profiles than others, and this is particularly true for refugee/ forcibly displaced learners.

Privacy concerns are among the most critical ethical issues in applying generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools in education. This study examines university students' privacy concerns regarding GAI, investigating the causes, consequences, and educational implications of these concerns. We employed a qualitative research design featuring…
