Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has the potential to change how we teach and how students learn. While genAI can support learning by offering personalised assistance, improving efficiency, and providing feedback, there are concerns that students may become overly dependent on it, potentially offloading their cognitive and metacognitive…

ChatGPT has sparked heated discussion in higher education since its public release and increasing empirical studies have been made available examining its application to higher education teaching and learning. To capture and synthesize the initial scholarly developments in this topic, we undertook a scoping review of empirical research into the…

Critical thinking is an essential skill in the age of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). GenAI affords dialectic argumentation, which provides opportunities for the development of critical thinking in argumentation (CTA). However, there was limited empirical evidence of how learners specifically utilize GenAI to construct argumentation.…

This study aimed to develop a structural equation model for ICT competency in administrators affecting school administration and propose implementation guidelines. The research involved two phases: model development and focus group discussions for guideline formulation. The sample included 310 educational administrators and department heads from…

This article explores the integration of generative AI tools (GenAI) into a writing activity that helps second language (L2) writers critically evaluate AI-generated texts and build their confidence in writing. The activity was implemented in a graduate-level English language course at a university in the United States. In class, students wrote…

Incorporating Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies into rural primary schools presents special challenges and opportunities, notably depending on socio-economic background and the involvement of female principals. This paper explores what female principals in rural public primary schools in South Africa find difficult in these…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have grown in popularity since 2008 but suffer from low completion rates, as low as 2%. This study examines how designing MOOCs with consideration of cognitive load can improve retention and learning outcomes, particularly for adult learners such as educators. Employing a design-based research methodology, five…

This study explores the influence of emotional intelligence and privacy orientation on attitudes and intentions to learn with mobile technologies. Data were collected from 272 respondents in Kazakhstan, a country with a transitioning economy. The findings reveal that both emotional intelligence and privacy orientation positively affect attitudes…

Artificial intelligence plays an important role in higher education, helping to manage centres and students' educational pathways, and acting as a valuable tool for both professors and scholars. However, its use in education is still at an early stage of development. Despite the notable increase in the number of publications and the growing…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods in developing students' practical skills in the Laboratory Practice in Indirect Restorations (LPIR) course at the School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (FAO-UFMG). A qualitative before-and-after study was conducted with 25 fifth-semester undergraduate dental…

Many professional health programs have transitioned from regional anatomy courses to integrated curricula, in which anatomy is taught longitudinally within a series of systems-based courses. With this shift, systems-based prosections have become increasingly valuable for anatomy education. However, most dissection guides are regionally focused,…

In this article, Charles Logan, T. Philip Nichols, and Antero Garcia argue for resisting the uncritical adoption of "inevitable" automating technologies -- such as AI -- in schools. To theorize what forms this resistance might take, they turn to perhaps an unusual source: the Luddites. The 19th century textile workers were not…

This review examines the current literature on the use of digital technologies to support young children with special needs in early childhood education and care (ECEC). It identifies four key areas of focus, which relate to understanding and articulating the purpose and focus for integrating assistive technologies (ATs) in ECEC; activating and…

The purpose of this research is to investigate how Web based and computer technologies impact studies, in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. Through a qualitative approach the study extensively explores this subject matter. To examine studies related to the use of Web based technology in teaching Turkish, a document analysis technique was…
