Since 2022, Artificial Intelligence has taken the education field by storm, resulting in a proliferation of research on AI's benefits, challenges, and pitfalls. A particular area of concern and uncertainty centers around AI and its impact on higher-order thinking skills. This qualitative systematic review comprising 31 articles aims to gather and…

Background: High-quality feedback is crucial for academic success, driving student motivation and engagement while research explores effective delivery and student interactions. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly natural language processing (NLP), offer innovative methods for analyzing complex qualitative data such as feedback…

B. F. Skinner's work in the field of verbal behaviour represented a movement of global significance. However, in today's age, even those who appreciate its profound importance in the archives of psychology accept that it did not sufficiently account for complex human language. Recent advances in psychological science have led to the emergence of a…

Entrance awards are financial incentives offered to admitted students at or near the time of admission. These awards are a frequently used tool to enhance yield rates among post-secondary institutions, sometimes among specifically-targeted populations. The impacts of these awards have been studied in many different contexts, using a variety of…

Historically, research in the education field concerning intelligence (such as mindset theory) has focused on student beliefs and outcomes. More general education research has also highlighted the importance of the impact that teacher beliefs can have on their practice and thus student outcomes. The purpose of this current systematic review was to…

ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) have the potential to significantly disrupt common educational practices and assessments, given their capability to quickly generate human-like text in response to user prompts. LLMs GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have been tested against many standardized and high-stakes assessment materials (e.g. SAT, Uniform…

One-on-one tutoring is widely acknowledged as an effective instructional method, conditioned on qualified tutors. However, the high demand for qualified tutors remains a challenge, often necessitating the training of novice tutors (i.e., trainees) to ensure effective tutoring. Research suggests that providing timely explanatory feedback can…

ChatGPT, a chatbot based on a Generative Pre-trained Transformer model, can be used as a teaching tool in the educational setting, providing text in an interactive way. However, concerns point out risks and disadvantages, as possible incorrect or irrelevant answers, privacy concerns, and copyright issues. This study aims to categorize the…

The study aimed to investigate factors influencing students' learning in a Block Mode Learning (BML) environment in higher education. Therefore, the study examined the development of and performed a user study on the 4Cs--critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration--which were integrated with BML as an effective and engaging…

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…

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its subfield, machine learning, have become indispensable across various industries. With the aid of low-code/no-code development platform like KNIME, understanding and applying machine learning algorithms has been simplified for various fields, including business and information systems, as these platforms reduce…

The study aimed to examine the performance on linguistic and cognitive tasks among Chinese preschool children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and explore the direct and indirect relationships between theory of mind (ToM) and literal and inferential listening comprehension. Forty-nine (N = 49) children with ASD and fifty-two (N =…

This book is a groundbreaking exploration of how to empower students as innovative creators in an increasingly technology-driven world. With rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence and other technologies reshaping society, this text champions the critical role of creativity in education, explaining how teachers can equip learners with skills…

With the ability to predict learning behaviors, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly involved in assessing the performance of problem solving. This study explored the potential of AI to predict whether mathematics problems could be solved based on eye movements and handwriting in a digital problem-solving environment. Sixty-one students…

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a high-stakes exam where Writing Task 2 significantly influences the overall scores, requiring reliable evaluation. While trained human raters perform this task, concerns about subjectivity and inconsistency have led to growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI)-based assessment…
