Prompts play a crucial role in eliciting accurate outputs from large language models (LLMs). This study examines the effectiveness of an automatic prompt engineering (APE) framework for automatic scoring in educational measurement. We collected constructed-response data from 930 students across 11 items and used human scores as the true labels. A…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has sparked a global debate on its potential as a feedback source for students, yet research in this area remains limited. This study explores students' use of GenAI during peer feedback provision. Fifty-four graduate students enrolled in a master's course in the food science domain at a Dutch university…

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, including machine learning (ML), have received attention in education, and generative AI-powered chatbots have been adopted in diverse educational settings worldwide. However, the actual use of and perception regarding generative AI chatbots by learners have been under-investigated. To better prepare for…

Furniture assembly is often perceived as a confusing and demotivating task, especially when relying on traditional manuals and/or online videos, which can be mis. Do It Yourself (DIY) furniture manufacturing can be even more challenging, as it requires not only assembly steps but also material fabrication stages, often demanding access to advanced…

This study examined how sequential patterns of social regulation types including self-regulated learning (SRL), co-regulated learning (CoRL), and socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) emerge and interact during online collaborative learning (OCL), and how these patterns relate to different levels of social loafing. Interaction in…

Providing consistent summative assessment to students is important, as the grades they are awarded affect their progression through university and future career prospects. While small cohorts are typically assessed by a single assessor, such as the module/class leader, larger cohorts are often assessed by multiple assessors, typically teaching…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has garnered much attention, prompting educators to thoughtfully examine its implementation within their curricula. This study explores the perceptions of occupational therapy (OT) students regarding the future integration of a novel, course-specific Anatomy AI chatbot: an…

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely adopted across various sectors of society, including education. We conducted a practical study to assess the effectiveness of immersive technologies in higher education institutions. The research was carried out over a period of ten weeks. Students…

This study reviews the literature on board games for collaborative learning in science education, analysing 76 articles from 2000 to 2024. It examines research methodologies, data collection tools, sample sizes, and data analysis methods, focusing on subject areas and types of board games used. Key findings reveal a predominance of physical…

This research examines the transformative pathways of generative AI tools in the South African higher education landscape, directed by three research questions: (1) specific generative AI tools being utilised, and how are they applied across educational contexts? (2) What are the predominant AI techniques and software tools? (3) What education…

Purpose: This study developed and evaluated a video-based machine learning model to automate motor competence assessment and created a user-friendly web platform for teachers and coaches. Methods: A total of 1,063 children (mean age: 7.8 years) performed seven motor skills, recorded on video and assessed by experts using the Test of Gross Motor…

Transcripts play a crucial role in qualitative research in computing education, with significant implications for the credibility and reproducibility of findings. However, unreflective and inconsistent transcription standards may unintentionally introduce biases, potentially undermining the validity of research outcomes and the collective progress…

Although peer norms significantly influence adolescents' aggressive behaviors, little research compares their effects in online and offline contexts. Specifically, online contexts differ from traditional ones by enabling anonymity and amplifying behavior visibility. These characteristics could alter norm perceptions, reducing or increasing…

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offers a modern setting for learners to engage in meaningful (meta)cognitive and socioemotional interactions. However, the task design, not technology alone, significantly shapes students' learning interactions. This study investigates how a conceptual physics task and a hands-on robotics task…

The development of immersive virtual reality (IVR) hardware and software has accelerated in recent years. The conceptual vocabulary has, however, not received the same amount of attention, especially in the context of collaborative learning settings. Existing concepts such as immersion, presence and interactivity focus predominantly on the…
