estudio empírico

Este estudio examina el efecto de presentar nuevo vocabulario a estudiantes de español como segunda lengua primeramente en femenino, basado en que los errores de concordancia de género no se deben a una incomprensión de las reglas de concordancia, sino de asignación de género. Se trata de incidir en el estadio en que se aprenden tanto el significado de la palabra como los géneros en que puede ser utilizada. Busca contrarrestar la mayor frecuencia del masculino en los libros de texto y el aula siguiendo el principio de que ambos géneros gramaticales pueden estar igualmente representados en las listas de vocabulario, e incrementar la frecuencia del femenino en el input que reciben los...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

The growth and uptake of educational technology has significantly reshaped the delivery of distance and online learning. With an unprecedented number of learners engaging with online modes of education, there is a growing need to understand the underlying student enrolment motivations, goals and learning behaviours evolving from a highly diverse student population. Research in learning analytics has advanced the use of digital data to understand student learning processes. However, there remains a limited understanding of how non-traditional learner characteristics, needs and motivational factors influence their learning behaviour and engagement strategies. Survey data from 232 students...

Resumen:

To address the complexity and high costs of developing listening tests for test-takers of varying proficiency levels, this study investigates the capabilities of an OpenAI's large language model, ChatGPT 4, in developing listening assessments. Employing prompt engineering and fine-tuning of prompts, the study specifically focuses on creating listening scripts and test items using ChatGPT 4 for test-takers across a spectrum of proficiency levels (academic, low, intermediate, and advanced). For comparability, the 24 topics of these scripts were selected from topics found in academic listening tests. We conducted two types of analyses to evaluate the quality of the output. First, we performed...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools (e.g. ChatGPT) has elicited mixed reactions among English language instructors and learners. This study explores how first-year students in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course at a Hong Kong university perceive GenAI and traditional grammar-checking tools (e.g. Grammarly, MS Word). We employed a qualitative methodology grounded in the interpretivist paradigm, conducting semi-structured interviews with 14 students. The findings revealed the students perceived GenAI tools to be more comprehensive and authoritative, as they provide detailed explanations and contextual insights that enhance language proficiency...

Integrating generative artificial intelligence in K-12 education: Examining teachers’ preparedness, practices, and barriers

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

Despite the growing body of research on developing K-12 teachers' generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and skills, its integration into daily teaching practices remains underexplored. Using a snowball sampling method, this study examined the preparedness, practices, and barriers encountered by 89 U.S. teachers in the state of Idaho. Participants were predominantly White, female teachers serving in rural schools. A mixed-methods analysis of survey responses revealed that teachers were generally underprepared for integrating GenAI, with fewer than half incorporating it into their educational practices. Unlike the widespread classroom integration patterns observed with general educational...

How well can LLMs grade essays in Arabic?

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

This research assesses the effectiveness of state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, Llama, Aya, Jais, and ACEGPT, in the task of Arabic automated essay scoring (AES) using the AR-AES dataset. It explores various evaluation methodologies, including zero-shot, few-shot in context learning, and fine-tuning, and examines the influence of instruction-following capabilities through the inclusion of marking guidelines within the prompts. A mixed-language prompting strategy, integrating English prompts with Arabic content, was implemented to improve model comprehension and performance. Among the models tested, ACEGPT demonstrated the strongest performance across the...

Resumen:

La investigación llevada a cabo en este artículo analiza la correlación en el uso de las funciones de las citas con la estructura organizativa de la Introducción de 16 memorias de máster escritas en español en el campo de la Lingüística Aplicada por estudiantes nativos españoles y no nativos filipinos. El análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo en este estudio parte del modelo propuesto por Carbonell-Olivares et al. (2009) para delimitar la organización de la Introducción de la tesis doctoral en español y de la clasificación de las funciones de las citas realizada por Sánchez Jiménez (2011). Los resultados de la investigación muestran que existe una relación directa entre el uso de las citas y...

Retaining learner engagement is a major challenge in online learning environments, which is even more intensified with learning spaces increasingly built by combining resources from multiple independent sources. Narrative-centric learning experience has been found to improve learner engagement by several researchers. Towards this end, we propose an AI-based approach that generates auxiliary learning content called narrative fragments which are interspersed into the learning pathways to create interactive learning narratives. The proposed approach consists of the automatic generation of two types of narrative fragments– overviews of the learning pathway segments and reflection...

Resumen:

In November 2022, the release of ChatGPT sparked widespread adoption of generative AI chatbots among students, yet little is known about what undergraduate students actually understand about these tools or how accurately they perceive their capabilities. To address this gap, we propose a theoretically grounded framework for Generative AI (GenAI) literacy that integrates three forms of conceptual knowledge about large language models (LLMs)—foundations, capabilities, and limitations, and societal impact—with students' perceptions and folk theories of AI chatbots. We then developed and validated a GenAI literacy survey, including multiple-choice knowledge items and perception items, using...
