Although artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more commonly integrated into our everyday lives, homes, and schools, there needs to be more research regarding parental attitudes toward using AI technologies and AI literacy education to understand better and advance AI and AI literacy in kindergarten. To address this gap, this study explored…

Conversational user interfaces (CUI), including voice interfaces, which allow users to converse with computers via voice, are gaining wide popularity. VoiceBots allow users to receive a response in real-time, regardless of the communication device. VoiceBots have been explored in fields such as customer service to automate repetitive queries and…

Purpose: The Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) technology uses automated speech processing (ASP) algorithms to estimate counts such as total adult words and child vocalizations, which helps understand children's early language environment. This ASP has been validated in North American English and other languages in predominantly monolingual…

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the experiences of female academics and researchers in tertiary institutions in South Africa as a means of bridging the gaps in research productivity. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopted a qualitative research design of a phenomenological type to explore the experiences of purposively selected 20…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now everywhere, including in the classroom. Thus, it is crucial for teachers not only to be able to use AI, but also to understand it, as they bear the responsibility of teaching the next generation with and about AI. Although there have been extensive discussions about the importance of digital skills and knowledge…

We combine empirical experimental research on biased argument processing with a computational theory of group deliberation to overcome the micro-macro problem of sociology and to clarify the role of biased processing in debates around energy. We integrate biased processing into the framework of argument communication theory in which agents…

This article explores the diverse epistemic perspectives on intelligence, tracing its conceptual evolution across early Indian philosophy, Western philosophical thought and contemporary computational theories. Intelligence is examined as a dynamic, multifaceted phenomenon that transcends mere cognition, extending into embodied, ecological and…

The article is an exploratory study assessing the stance selected higher education institutes (HEIs) have adopted regarding the usage of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications in academic research. The HEIs are selected based on purposive sampling in order to showcase different stances they have adopted to curb plagiarism and uphold…

The bulk of recent research on generative AI (GenAI) in education mainly focused on its potential pedagogical uses as well as how students actually exploit such tools during learning, while little has been done to systematically investigate how teachers integrate those tools in different parts of their teaching process. To bridge this gap, the…

Background: Artificial intelligence, particularly natural language processing (NLP), enables automating the formative assessment of written task solutions to provide adaptive feedback automatically. A laboratory study found that, compared with static feedback (an expert solution), adaptive feedback automated through artificial neural networks…

Traditionally, feedback is regarded as crucial in the context of learning and teaching public speaking. In the current course, we analyzed the feedback provided to students by an artificial intelligence (AI) coach and students' learning experiences in developing public-speaking skills via this tool. The MySpeaker Rhetorich speech coach application…

The core purpose of integrating inquiry-based learning strategies into STEM activities is to create a challenging learning environment that stimulates students' active learning, thereby effectively enhancing their interest in learning, thinking skills, and practical application abilities. To achieve these goals, developing more technology-assisted…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the dynamic interplay between employee resilience (ER) and learning organisations, specifically examining the mediating influence of psychological empowerment (PE). Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on responses from 208 participants working in the United Arab Emirates, we used regression analysis with…

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the theory and development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. This revolutionary technology holds immense potential in multiple domains, including the development of educational curricula. This article has explored the impact of AI on curriculum…

Scholarly interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has surged as researchers delve into its transformative impact on various aspects of our lives. AI poses both benefits and challenges, particularly in the context of educators' endeavors to comprehend the intricacies of students' learning processes. Although the use of AI to enhance and assist…
