Traditionally, feedback is regarded as crucial in the context of learning and teaching public speaking. In the current course, we analyzed the feedback provided to students by an artificial intelligence (AI) coach and students' learning experiences in developing public-speaking skills via this tool. The MySpeaker Rhetorich speech coach application…

This paper advocates for the integration of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) into educational curricula to foster holistic student development. SEL equips students with emotional intelligence, resilience, and interpersonal skills, which are crucial for personal and professional success. As the global focus on mental health and emotional well-being…

The Servant Leadership Scale has been developed in the context of the university. This scale has seven dimensions: behaving ethically, development, emotional healing, empowerment, pioneering, relationship building, and wisdom. Furthermore, this scale was modified into six dimensions: authenticity, behaving ethically, development, emotional…

Recent studies in psychology emphasize the pivotal roles of adopting a growth mindset to enhance students' motivation and employing effective memory strategies to improve memory performance. This study evaluated the impact of a metacognitive intervention that combined the promotion of a growth mindset with the teaching of efficient learning…

This study investigated the use of virtual chatbots in a 3D multi-user virtual environment (3D MUVE) to enhance the communication skills of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) learners. Several virtual chat agents, developed using pattern matching techniques and embedded in Second Life, created a blended learning environment in which CFL learners…

This paper investigates how ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, can be introduced to STEM education, specifically, an "Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience" class. Using mixed-method research, the study conducted an experiment to collect students' performance scores and their feedback to examine the potential impacts from…

Digitalization needs to be storied for me to become critical of and creative with its functionings. In today's algorithmic condition, knowledge production and learning are complex posthuman entanglements: the human as materially affective has become fabricated hybrids of organism and machine. Storying is seen as simultaneous processes of…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) models, such as ChatGPT, may inherit or amplify societal biases due to their training on extensive datasets. With the increasing usage of GAI by students, faculty, and staff in higher education institutions (HEIs), it is urgent to examine the ethical issues and potential biases associated with this…

This study aims to evaluate ChatGPT's capabilities in certain numerical analysis problem: solving ordinary differential equations. The methodology which is developed in order to conduct this research takes into account the following mathematical abilities (defined according to National Centre for Education Statistics): Conceptual Understanding,…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models have grown increasingly popular among pre-service teachers (PSTs) and have become their constant companions, primarily assisting them in scientific writing. This article presents a study that investigates the differences and benefits of GenAI in the scientific writing process. Essays generated by…

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted higher education. The sudden and profound transformations it necessitated had a direct and negative impact on higher education students, as evidenced by the widely reported instances of academic disengagement, decreased motivation, and lower performance. This was often due to student burnout caused by…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in daily life, transforming how we process information, analyse data, and communicate. As AI enables new forms of interaction, educators need to assess its implications for teaching and learning. This study examines how AI tools, specifically ChatGPT, were integrated into preservice teacher…

Emerging technologies are transforming education, necessitating research on their optimal integration. This article introduces an Intelligent Virtual Reality (IVR) approach that incorporates Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) through two GAI-powered pedagogical characters, aiming to address educational needs. This qualitative descriptive…

The breakthrough in generative artificial intelligence (AI) has unlocked new possibilities for higher education. There are many studies on educational chatbots in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; however, studies on designing and leveraging chatbots in a multidisciplinary field like project management have been…

Personalized problem selection enhances student practice in tutoring systems. Prior research has focused on transparent problem selection that supports learner control but rarely engages learners in selecting practice materials. We explored how different levels of control (i.e., full AI control, shared control, and full learner control), combined…
