The integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is a paradigm shift in enhanced learning methodologies and assessment techniques. This study explores the adoption of generative AI tools in higher education assessments by examining the perceptions of 353 students through a survey and 17 in-depth interviews. Anchored in the Unified…

Conversational agents have been designed to improve instruction quality and support student learning. In addition to their instructional use, they can be incorporated into assessment--conversation-based assessment (CBA). This study primarily introduces a CBA with selected-response and constructed-response tests as a formative assessment tool for…

To investigate the potential of GPT-4.0 feedback to substitute teacher feedback in flipped classrooms, we conducted research that GPT-4.0 and a course teacher provided cognitive, praise, and mitigating feedback weekly via a course discussion platform, respectively. At the end of each topic, 89 third-year university students majoring in Educational…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedicine has gained significant attention, and its fusion with biology offers exciting possibilities. Understanding students' perspectives on AI is crucial for developing appropriate lessons. This study surveyed biology undergraduates and postgraduates in Taiwan (n = 71) and Germany (n = 51) to explore their…

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the past two years is exerting profound effects throughout society. However, while this new technology undoubtedly promises substantial benefits, its disruptive nature also means that it poses a variety of challenges. The field of education is no exception. This position paper intends to…

The measurable effects of music in online learning remains a topic of extensive debate, largely due to inconsistent findings within existing literature. Many of these inconclusive results stem from research methodologies that focus on singular perspectives, often overlooking a balance between cognitive challenges and emotional benefits of…

Effective writing feedback is a powerful tool for enhancing student learning, encouraging revision, and increasing motivation and agency. Yet, teachers face many challenges that prevent them from consistently providing effective writing feedback. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have led educators and researchers to…

Observations of parent-child play with toys are often used to assess interactions between parents and non-autistic as well as autistic children, but some research indicates that play without toys may elicit more positive interactions than play with toys. The first goal of the study was to examine whether this is true in the case of autistic…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted the field of education, particularly in health sciences, where tools such as ChatGPT are increasingly utilised. ChatGPT, powered by AI, presents both opportunities and challenges that warrant investigation. This qualitative study explored the perceptions, experiences, and expectations of…

The rapid development of online education has underscored the necessity of data-driven teaching functions for enhancing teaching quality and efficiency. This paper investigates the role of data-driven approaches in online education, with a particular focus on the practical application of data for evaluating learning outcomes. It highlights the…

Employability has been a key area of interest for researchers, especially as China faces increasing pressure in the labor market due to shifting supply and demand dynamics. Despite a steady increase in the number of graduates over the past five years, employment rates have declined, and the rates of slow employment, a slower state of employment,…

This study investigates the effects of utilizing the AI course assistant, Spark, on student academic performance at Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU). Focusing on grade outcomes, the research reveals that students who engaged with Spark three or more times achieved significantly higher grades compared to those who did not use the AI assistant.…

Purpose: With the increasing prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the importance of early screening and diagnosis has been subject to considerable discussion. Given the subtle differences between ASD children and typically developing children during the early stages of development, it is imperative to investigate the utilization of…

This report aims to update and broaden the understanding of teachers' experiences of teaching reading and writing as the capabilities of generative AI expand and improve. As part of ongoing research considering what it means to be literate in the digital age, the National Literacy Trust have been exploring how generative AI tools might influence,…

In 2025, National Literacy Trust wanted to increase their understanding of how generative AI tools might be beginning to influence what it means to be literate in the digital age. National Literacy Trust first asked children and young people about their awareness and use of generative AI platforms in their Annual Literacy Survey in early 2023,…
