Automatic short answer grading is an important research direction in the exploration of how to use artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools to improve education. Current state-of-the-art approaches use neural language models to create vectorized representations of students responses, followed by classifiers to predict the score. However, these…

This case study examines an online introductory Spanish-English translation course focused on learning Spanish through machine translation. Fifty-three Spanish learners were guided by their teacher to rethink, reflect, and interpret what Google Translate offered. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of learners' reports and teacher feedback…

Presently, the universities are under exceeding strain of increasing faculty engagement and job satisfaction since due to COVID-19 the faculty is being overwhelmed by having to adapt to new ways of teaching (online, hybrid, flip, etc.) while conducting other activities such as administrative work, service, research, and continuous learning. This…

Background: In the midst of digital transformation, schools are transforming their classrooms as they prepare students for a world increasingly automated by new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). During curricular implementation, it has not made sense to teachers to teach AI as a stand-alone subject as it is not a traditional…

Using video-elicitation focus group interviews, this study aims to reveal pre-service science teachers' perspectives and reasoning on artificial intelligence as a socioscientific issues-based scenario. Hence, it illustrates the ways the video data were used in the focus group elicitation interviews to understand their interpretations of how their…

This study explores the trends of chatbots in education studies by conducting a literature review to analyze relevant papers published in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) journals by searching the Web of Science (WoS) database. From the analysis results, it was found that the United States, Taiwan and Hong Kong are the top three…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools were met with a mix of enthusiasm, skepticism, and fear. AI adoption soared as people discovered compelling use cases--developers wrote code, realtors generated narratives for their websites, students wrote essays, and much more. Calls for caution attempted to temper AI enthusiasm. Experts highlighted…

As an exemplary representative of AIGC products, ChatGPT has ushered in new possibilities for the field of education. Leveraging its robust text generation and comprehension capabilities, it has had a revolutionary impact on pedagogy, learning experiences, personalized education and other aspects. However, to date, there has been no comprehensive…

Two scientific and systematic evaluation index systems are constructed for primary education APP and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. These systems are revised and confirmed through two rounds of Delphi method. The Delphi method determines an educational application (APP) evaluation index system containing four…

Purpose: This paper aims to consolidate empirical studies between 2013 and 2022 to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. It aims to examine published research characteristics and provide insights into the promises and challenges of AI integration in academia. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic…

Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven learning has become an irreversible trend in foreign language education. Scholars are increasingly focusing on this field, yet few have examined its impact within English literature classes. To fill this gap, we designed an 8-week intervention study with mixed methods and recruited 90 students, with 42 in the…

This study aimed to present a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 1,726 academic studies from among those indexed by the Web of Science database platform between 2013 and 2023, to provide a general framework for the concept of artificial intelligence in education (AIEd). Trends in publications and citations across countries, institutions,…

At a time when language trainers need to determine how best to integrate new digital tools that provide students with linguistic information, our aim in this article is to assess the potential value of information provided by two types of tools now widely used by students: machine translation via online translators and state-of-the-art generative…

In recent years, academic interest in new developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ethical challenges in higher education has increased. The new emerging technologies that have become popular among the university community in recent times require an exhaustive study to evaluate their impact on academic integrity and plagiarism. The…

Purpose: This research was developed to identify artificial intelligence (AI) opportunities and challenges in higher education. Design/methodology/approach: This qualitative research was developed using the six-step thematic analysis method (Braun and Clark, 2006). Participants in this study were AI PhD students from Tehran University in…
