This essay presents a framework of critical questions designed to guide EdD program leaders and faculty in integrating generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into their curricula and policies. The REPAC framework aids in reflecting, reenvisioning, and redesigning educational practices to better incorporate GenAI, focusing on how candidates…

Research evaluation (RE) has experienced a major global transformation prompted by the emergence and increasing usage of digital citation platforms such as the Web of Science and Scopus, opening up avenues for scientometric evaluation (SE). This relatively novel evaluation method represents an essential pillar for the scientific committees for…

Academic dishonesty is a growing problem in higher education. This study examines students' attitudes toward cheating. The sample consisted of 318 students enrolled in health science courses at a Swedish university. A survey-based quantitative approach was employed, integrating qualitative responses from open-ended questions. We investigated…

This qualitative study explores lecturers' perspectives on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in personalised learning within higher education. The rapid proliferation of AI has introduced numerous ethical challenges, including the potential for academic dishonesty and misuse. One concern highlighted in this study is maintaining academic…

This study investigates the multifaceted impact of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) on higher education. Employing grounded theory, we analyzed the experiences of eight students using these tools in their academic work. Our findings reveal both significant benefits, including enhanced learning, efficiency, and accessibility, and…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping educational systems worldwide, raising critical debates about the reliability of AI-generated content, the validity of AI-driven assessments, and the ethical implications of its integration into diverse learning environments. This study examines the integrity of AI-enhanced education within the…

Evidence shows that appropriate use of technology in education has the potential to increase the effectiveness of, eg, teaching, learning and student support. There is also evidence that technology can introduce new problems and ethical issues, e.g., student privacy. This article maps some limitations of technological approaches that ensure…

Scientific progress depends on the integrity of data and research findings. Intentionally distorting research data and findings constitutes scientific misconduct and introduces falsehoods into the scientific record. Unintentional distortions arising from questionable research practices (QRPs), such as unsystematically deleting outliers, pose…

This article summarizes issues in defining character education (CE) that are relevant to program development and evaluation. No authoritative definition exists for CE, but several features seem prominent. These include a focus on enhancing civic, moral, self-regulatory, and/or intellectual virtues; and (at least implicitly) prioritizing the…
