This study employs the Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model to uncover the factors influencing university students' intentions to adopt generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in higher education. With the rapid integration of Generative AI into academic contexts, understanding what drives students' intention to use these tools…

During the Corona pandemic, many extracurricular learning sites with a biological focus, such as zoos and natural history museums, were closed. In order to offer students the opportunity to visit these learning sites even under pandemic conditions, online live tours were conducted at the Senckenberg Natural History Museum and the Frankfurt Zoo. To…

The rise of informal language learning, especially learning conducted online outside the classroom context, has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. To date, however, there has been limited evidence-based systematic analysis of the prevalence of online informal language learning (OILL). Accordingly, we conducted a systematic…

This study explores the intersection of Joseph Schumpeter's Innovation Theory and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education, specifically focusing on disruptive and incremental innovation, institutional transformation, and strategic policy adaptation. AI can potentially reshape pedagogical models, administrative…

Background/purpose: The current study aimed to investigate the extent to which collaborative educational applications based on connectivism theory are used to organize big data and their impact on university students' digital self-efficacy. Materials/methods: The researcher adopted a descriptive survey approach to examine the effectiveness of the…

This study explored how using computer simulations helped 7th grade students improve their understanding of chemistry. At my school, many students are below grade-level in reading and math, which can make science more challenging. During a 3-week chemistry unit, I used simulations from Amplify and other online tools. These simulations allowed…

We investigated the similarities and differences in understanding among UK-based university staff and students regarding AI literacy, in terms of competent and ethical use of AI tools. This study builds on existing research revealing both wide use of AI tools in higher education, but also a lack of shared understanding among stakeholder groups on…

This research aimed to 1) examine the needs for developing digital content on the metaverse 2) develop and evaluate the quality of digital content on the metaverse combined with interactive communication activities 3) compare the perception of the sample group before and after viewing the digital content, and 4) assess the satisfaction of the…

Purpose: This study investigates the mediating role of virtual experience in the relationship between UTAUT2 constructs and perceived employability among vocational high school students. While previous research has examined students' behavioral intentions toward augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) using UTAUT2, their impact on job…

This article explores the use of the instant messaging app, WhatsApp, to teach close reading, critical thinking, and argumentation skills. Academic and argumentative essays continue to be the dominant form of both formative and summative assessments, particularly in literary studies. However, many students who enter university in South Africa…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has evolved rapidly, and many K-12 mathematics classroom teachers experience tensions about how to utilize it within their practice. The tensions become evident relative to teachers' readiness and willingness to use GenAI based on their: (1) personal depth of knowledge; (2) ethical concerns; and (3) lack…

This reflective inquiry reports on the experiences of a working group at Arizona State University (ASU) that, over the course of four months, built, integrated, and iterated artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into their daily work as research administrators. During this process, the group focused on creating AI solutions for the complex,…

As artificial intelligence becomes more widespread, tools such as GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and Google Gemini are also increasingly used as additional resources to help parents understand dyslexia. However, the validity and precision of these instruments have not been studied well. This cross-sectional study assessed ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, and Gemini on…

The main goal of this study is to examine how school librarians in Croatia use smartphone technologies to perform their professional duties. The study is guided by the assumption that smartphones gained additional significance in librarians' work during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly due to school closures and the shift to online instruction.…

Several higher educational institutions have employed Learning Management Systems. The Blackboard Collaborate system, featured as one of the technological instructional systems, is an example of considerable and outstanding Learning Management Systems utilized by most universities. Nevertheless, literature revealed that there is a missing…
