This study investigates the perceptions of English language teachers regarding the use of ChatGPT in English Language Teaching (ELT). The study aims to fill the research gap by exploring teachers' perspectives on the integration of ChatGPT as an instructional tool and its implications for ELT practices. Using a mixed methods approach, the study…

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has caused significant disruption to the traditional educational teaching ecosystem. GAI possesses remarkable capabilities in generating human-like text and boasts an extensive knowledge repository, thereby paving the way for potential collaboration with humans. However, current research on…

Recent developments in technology have accelerated the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on our lives. The National Literacy Trust is interested in exploring how such platforms might influence, and potentially redefine, what it means to be literate in the digital age. Based on data from more than 50,000 children and young people taking…

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies in higher education has raised concerns about academic integrity, assessment practices and student learning. Banning or blocking GenAI tools has proven ineffective, and punitive approaches ignore the potential benefits of these technologies. As a result, assessment…

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly ubiquitous in society, conversational agents such as Siri, Alexa, and ChatGPT are shaping the experiences of younger generations. However, these young users often lack opportunities to learn about the inner workings of these AI technologies. One way to foster such learning is by empowering…

This research note suggests the emergence of Artificial Intelligence-powered chatbots like ChatGPT pose challenges to the future of higher education. We as a field should pay attention to issues and opportunities associated with this technology across learning, teaching, and research spaces. We propose ignoring, or being indifferent to,…

Can sentiment analysis be used in an educational context to help teachers and researchers evaluate students' learning experiences? Are sentiment analyzing algorithms accurate enough to replace multiple human raters in educational research? A dataset of 333 students evaluating a learning experience was acquired with positive, negative, and neutral…

Various theories and models have implicitly discussed the role of interaction when using learning technologies. Indeed, interaction is described as being important as it relates to technology adoption, cognitive load, and usability. While each of these perspectives describe elements of interaction, they fail to comprehensively detail how educators…

The application of the metaverse provides a new perspective for educational innovation and talent training in the new century. By creating multi-channel perceptions such as sight, hearing, and touch through the VR/AR/MR immersive environment, the study found that learners' emotional engagement and cognitive level can be effectively improved in the…

Constructionism, long before it had a name, was intimately tied to the field of Artificial Intelligence. Soon after the birth of Logo at BBN, Seymour Papert set up the Logo Group as part of the MIT AI Lab. Logo was based upon Lisp, the first prominent AI programming language. Many early Logo activities involved natural language processing,…

How do scientists generate and weight candidate queries for hypothesis testing, and how does learning from observations or experimental data impact query selection? Field sciences offer a compelling context to ask these questions because query selection and adaptation involves consideration of the spatiotemporal arrangement of data, and therefore…

Assessing students' participation in science practices presents several challenges, especially when aiming to differentiate meaningful (vs. rote) forms of participation. In this study, we sought to use machine learning (ML) for a novel purpose in science assessment: developing a construct map for students' "consideration of generality,"…

A working knowledge of Artificial Neural Networks is rapidly becoming critical for navigating the modern world. Although the last few years have seen an explosion of the use of these tools in research, and there are many do-it-yourself articles on the web, they have not yet filtered down to wide implementation in introductory courses. I report…

Extending previous research on the Computers Are Social Actors paradigm and the human-to-human interaction script, this study examines the interpersonal impressions of a social robot evaluator versus a human evaluator in a performance evaluation context. A between-subjects experiment was conducted to measure participants' impressions of the…

This proceedings volume presents outstanding advances, with a multidisciplinary perspective, in the technological ecosystems that support Knowledge Society building and development. With its learning technology-based focus using a transversal approach, TEEM is divided into thematic and highly cohesive tracks, each of which is oriented to a…
