This study uses a case study approach to examine the World Bank's policy prescriptions and funding of ICT in education from 2011 to 2022. Through document analysis of the Bank's research, formal policy documents, and its portfolio of projects in K-12 education in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the findings reveal a shift in the Bank's educational…

The poles are recognized as the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth. These extremes are defined differently in terms of cartography, magnetism, geography, and the polar star. In Turkey, numerous activities have been carried out concerning the polar regions, such as the establishment of a scientific research camp and meteorological…

Human intelligence is related to cognitive skills such as the acquisition of new knowledge, problem-solving and abstract thinking in learning processes. These processes are of great importance in mathematical education. Artificial intelligence (AI) can help students develop these cognitive skills by providing customized teaching methods according…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is reshaping the ways humans study and work across various disciplines. In the field of music, AI technology shows its possibility to empower individuals at diverse levels of musical knowledge in music creation, from novices to experts. In this article, I explore philosophical questions within both AI…

The rapid growth of technology has penetrated the realm of education, reshaping old teaching philosophies and improving educational approaches. Notably, the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on English learning has become momentous. However, a critical issue is the lack of autonomy in AI-enabled English learning applications, leading to…

The rapid advancement of generative AI technologies is increasingly accompanied by their broader application across various sectors, particularly within creative industries.

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every facet of life, from how we shop to how we get our news, it's inevitable that AI is changing the way we teach and the way students learn. For students to thrive in this world, they need more than just the ability to use technology; they need to understand how it works, its…

This study investigates how anthropomorphic AI chatbot avatars, designed in line with the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) dimensions of warmth and competence, influence university students' perceptions of support for self-directed learning (SDL) activities. We examined student responses to two distinct avatars--one projecting warmth and the other…

In the field of education, the think-aloud protocol is commonly used to encourage learners to articulate their thoughts during the learning process, providing observers with valuable insights into learners' cognitive processes beyond the final learning outcomes. However, the implementation of think-aloud protocols faces challenges such as task…

This paper reports on a design-based research (DBR) study that aims to devise an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered teachable agent that supports secondary school students' learning-by-teaching practices of mathematics learning content. A long-standing pedagogical practice of learning-by-teaching is powered by a recent advancement of generative…

The History of Design course is a foundational component for art and design students; however, many students perceive it as abstract and unengaging, mainly due to its highly conceptual nature and traditional lecture-based teaching methods. To address these challenges, this study investigates the impact of AI-generated virtual instructors and a…

This study examines the impact of AI, particularly ChatGPT, on academic integrity and assessment practices in higher education. As AI integration grows, concerns about its potential to undermine academic rigour and increase inequalities have surfaced. Through interviews with students and a lecturer, the research explores the benefits and…

The emergence of generative AI (GenAI) has illustrated that higher education needs to adapt to the technology. Its speed of evolution requires that we adequately prepare students for an ever-changing landscape. Toward achieving that aim, we draw on the concept of interpretive flexibility, where the interpretations, uses, and outcomes of a new…
