International teamwork skills are becoming more and more important for future engineers. Engineering projects with diverse students working towards solving an issue together could cultivate such skills. However, social exclusion may rise when faultlines emerge: dividing lines that split a group into relatively homogeneous subgroups. This study…

Education has always been in a state of flux because of technological disruption. As schools head towards a present in which digital technology is normalised as part of the fabric of everyday society, a post-digital paradigm, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the educational administration and leadership. It is crucial to find ways to…

The adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has gained popularity since late 2022, sparking discussions about its role in education. An important issue is understanding teachers' perceptions of this technology, given that teachers are seen as key actors in integrating GenAI into teaching and learning processes. This qualitative…

This study investigates the adoption and impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners, focusing on self-efficacy, motivation, and predicted exam performance. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines survey data (N = 595) and interviews (N = 8) from Chinese university…

Epistemic agency is a significant factor in fostering teachers' innovation. Although previous research has highlighted the positive impact of epistemic agency on language teachers' knowledge creation, few studies have examined the role of this agency in navigating opportunities and challenges in an artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated context,…

A prior randomized trial found a school social intervention yielded significantly better outcomes (social and autism features) immediately following intervention compared to typical school programming (services-as-usual [SAU]) for children on the autism spectrum. In that study, children in the SAU condition subsequently completed a summer social…

This study investigates the beliefs and practices of secondary school mathematics teachers in Malta regarding the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly through tools like ChatGPT, in teaching, using the TPACK framework. Through a case study methodology involving pre- and post-professional development (PD) session…

Objectives: This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Thailand, addressing critical gaps in current policy frameworks and technological implementation strategies within the country's digital transformation agenda. Methods: A conceptual analysis approach was…

Chatbots with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, such as ChatGPT, are an important tool for language learning because they provide an interactive and adaptive learning environment that can be adjusted to each learner's level of skill. This paper explores the application of ChatGPT, an advanced AI-powered chatbot, as a tool for language…

Background/purpose: This study addresses challenges in graduate research supervision by developing and evaluating an AI chatbot research coaching system designed through Design Thinking and Educational Design Research. The research aimed to examine system usability, perceived value, and alignment between user experiences and original design…

This paper presents the design of a personalized learning agent powered by the Agentic RAG technique. The agent can interpret learners' queries and autonomously decide which tools should be used to generate the most suitable response. When the learner shares an Open Educational Resource (OER) they wish to learn from, the agent first breaks the…

This study investigated the translation competence (TC) development needs of foreign language majors at Guangxi University of Foreign Languages (GUFL) amid the AI-driven transformation of the translation industry. Employing a quantitative approach, the study administered a questionnaire to a sample of 359 students, with data analyzed via SPSS for…

Background: This mixed-method, controlled quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of metaverse-based English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on high school students' listening skills and self-determination levels. The lessons, which were designed based on social constructivist theory, were implemented for a total of 8 weeks…

Background: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) into second language (L2) education has opened new possibilities for personalized and adaptive instruction. While Gen-AI has shown promise in supporting language production skills, its application in reading, particularly in pre-reading scaffolding, remains underexplored.…

This study explored if generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT can generate full lessons plans that are actually useful for real classrooms and meet the quality standards teachers and students deserve. The authors share how their teacher educator participants rated each type of lesson, what they preferred, and what the results…
