The use of the project-based learning (PBL) approach in developing AI literacy is widely adopted. However, student satisfaction with AI literacy courses has not been thoroughly explored. This study addresses this gap by examining the associations between students’ perceived PBL, empowerment in using AI for problem-solving, AI ethical awareness, and satisfaction with AI literacy courses. A total of 1,027 secondary and university students from 102 secondary schools and a university in Hong Kong participated in an AI literacy course, among whom 446 provided complete data for the structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis. We developed a context-grounded scale to measure students’ perceptions...

Intelligent voice assistants (IVAs) such as Alexa or Siri are voice-based AI systems that support users in various tasks with simple voice commands, making everyday life easier. However, users tend to have only a superficial understanding of the technological functionality of IVAs, leading to misconceptions and usage risks. To foster a self-determined interaction with IVAs, developing specific AI-related competencies, such as a comprehensive functional understanding, is essential. Three online training modules were developed based on learning psychology and media didactics principles to deepen the functional understanding of IVAs and empower self-determined use. In total, 180 participants...

The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as ChatGPT, has significantly impacted various aspects of human life, including higher education. This study explores university students' attitudes toward ChatGPT, focusing on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of attitudes, on the basis of Mitcham's philosophical framework of attitudes toward technology. A total of 595 university students from six public and private universities in northern Peru participated in an online survey. The results of the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that the affective component (β = 0.672∗∗∗) and the cognitive component (β = 0.260∗∗) positively...

El objetivo de este estudio empírico es realizar un análisis de los errores gramaticales cometidos en producciones escritas, con y sin tiempo de preparación, por aprendientes francófonos de nivel C1 y mostrar si la teoría del “Modelo del monitor” puede influir en el tipo de error que cometen y si puede también afectar de manera directa a las características de su interlengua.

The objective of this empirical study is to analyze the grammatical errors in written production from francophone learners (level C1), with and without time to prepare it, and show whether the theory of "Monitor Model" may influence the type of error committed and whether it may also directly affect the...

This study builds on the recent interest in AI adoption research in academic settings by highlighting the need for culturally sensitive AI educational tools. The study achieved this by demonstrating how cultural differences shape students' motivation and AI use. This study adopts a cross-country comparative analytical approach to explore postgraduate students’ motivation to continue using AI tools in the context of higher education. The study developed a theoretical model based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) to explore how perceived competence, perceived relatedness and perceived autonomy influence the continuance use intention of AI tools in...

Este estudio cuantitativo investigó las posibles ganancias en la adquisición del vocabulario regional como resultado del aprendizaje incidental tras estudiar en el extranjero durante un semestre. Cinco estudiantes universitarios tomaron cursos en un instituto de idiomas en Madrid (España) viviendo con una familia anfitriona durante un semestre, mientras que un grupo de control de cinco participantes continuó sus estudios en XXXX, en los Estados Unidos. Realizaron una encuesta en línea que contenía cuarenta elementos de vocabulario exclusivos para España (majo, mola, guay y similares) tres veces: al principio y al final del programa y después de tres años. Los resultados mostraron que el...

Emerging discussions have boomed in relation to recent trends and applications of generative artificial intelligence in education, but few attention were paid to AI chatbots in terms of critical thinking ability and second language (L2) writing self-efficacy. To address such research gap, this study aims to delve into effectiveness of AI chatbot-integrated writing tasks on critical thinking ability and writing self-efficacy among vocational college students. Followed the quasi-experiment design, this study recruited 80 first-year vocational college students from two intact class. Throughout seven-week's instruction, quantitative data were collected with pre- and post-questionnaires of...

The increasing use of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) worldwide has brought attention to tools that can assist English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in their journey to fluency. Much research has shown that EFL learners often do not have sufficient latitude to output at a satisfactory level when writing in a second language. In addition, cognitive (working memory) resources are spent on low-level writing tasks (word production, translation) at the expense of time being allocated to higher-level writing tasks such as organization and revision. The researcher's laboratory developed an AI-based web application called “AI KAKU” to assist EFL learners in reducing the cognitive barriers...

The rapid integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into higher education presents both opportunities and systemic challenges, particularly in domains where feedback is central to learning. This study investigates the capacity of a large language model to generate formative feedback for student-created UML diagrams in a university software engineering course. Across two cohorts (N = 262), AI-generated, teacher-generated, and no-feedback conditions were compared, analyzing student perceptions, learning outcomes, and grading reliability. Results show that while students rated GenAI feedback as beneficial and often comparable to human comments, teacher feedback remained more effective in supporting...

This study highlights the potential of fine-tuned ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) for automatically scoring student written constructed responses using example assessment tasks in science education. The application of ChatGPT in research and academic fields has greatly enhanced productivity and efficiency. Recent studies on ChatGPT based on OpenAI's generative model GPT-3.5 proved its superiority in predicting the natural language with high accuracy and human-like responses. GPT-3.5 has been trained over enormous online language materials such as journals and Wikipedia; however, direct usage of pre-trained GPT-3.5 is insufficient for automatic scoring as students do not utilize the same language as...
