Individualized learning support is an essential part of formal educational learning processes. However, in typical large-scale educational settings, resource constraints result in limited interaction among students, teaching assistants, and lecturers. Due to this, learning success in those settings may suffer. Inspired by current technological…

This emerging technology report delves into the role of ChatGPT, an OpenAI conversational AI, in language learning. The initial section introduces ChatGPT's nature and highlights its features, including accessibility, personalization, immersive learning, and instant feedback, which render it a valuable asset for language learners and educators…

In contemporary society, information and communication technology permeates every aspect of human life, including education. This study investigates the impact of WhatsApp chatbot technology and Glaser's teaching approaches on the academic performance of economics education students in tertiary institutions. Grounded in activity theory, the study…

Using a quasi-experimental method and content analysis as a technique, this study tests ChatGPT, in its version 4, by assessing its textual characteristics and overall understanding regarding the recognition criteria of provisions under International Accounting Standards (IAS) 37, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).…

Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) has emerged as a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tool with an aptitude to transform course design in higher education significantly. While ChatGPT's applications in education are substantially growing, its role in natural sciences, particularly in course planning and content generation among…

This study examined the perspectives of Ghanaian higher education students on the use of ChatGPT. The Students' ChatGPT Experiences Scale (SCES) was developed and validated to evaluate students' perspectives of ChatGPT as a learning tool. A total of 277 students from universities and colleges participated in the study. Through exploratory factor…

In this paper we describe a framework for teaching students when they should, or should not use generative AI such as ChatGPT. Generative AI has created a fundamental shift in how students can complete their class assignments, and other tasks such as building resumes and creating cover letters, and we believe it is imperative that we teach…

Creating effective educational materials generally requires expensive and time-consuming studies of student learning outcomes. To overcome this barrier, one idea is to build computational models of student learning and use them to optimize instructional materials. However, it is difficult to model the cognitive processes of learning dynamics. We…

Think-aloud protocols are a common method to study self-regulated learning (SRL) during learning by problem-solving. Previous studies have manually transcribed and coded students' verbalizations, labeling the presence or absence of SRL strategies and then examined these SRL codes in relation to learning. However, the coding process is difficult to…

Peer assessment can be a more effective pedagogical method when reviewers provide quality feedback. But what makes feedback helpful to reviewees? Other studies have identified quality feedback as focusing on detecting problems, providing suggestions, or pointing out where changes need to be made. However, it is important to seek students'…

Evidence from fMRI research indicates that individual creative thinking ability -- defined as performance on divergent thinking tasks, subjectively assessed by human raters -- can be predicted based on the strength of functional connectivity (FC) between the brain's default mode network (DMN) and frontoparietal control network (FPCN). Here, we…

Automated Essay Scoring (AES) using neural networks has helped increase the accuracy and efficiency of scoring students' written tasks. Generally, the improved accuracy of neural network approaches has been attributed to the use of modern word embedding techniques. However, which word embedding techniques produce higher accuracy in AES systems…

An investigation is presented through the processing of natural language and text analysis found in the abstracts of the educational publication Profundidad of the Faculty of Administrative and Economic Sciences at the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña. The indicators analysed are magnitude, year of publication, importance weighting…

A new kind of reading platform supported by ChatGPT has quickly become a popular research assistant among students due to its instant natural language interaction and question-answering capabilities. This study explored the effects of ChatGPT-based reading platform on student's foreign language paper reading. A total of 64 undergraduate students…

Aim/Purpose: This paper examines the potential of ChatGPT-assisted retrieval practice to enhance students' final exam performance. ChatGPT was utilized to generate questions and deliver timely feedback during retrieval practice, supporting learning in large class settings where providing personalized feedback is often challenging. Background:…
