Multiple studies have shown that scaffolding plays an important role in regulating and enhancing students' metacognitive monitoring and reflections. However, scaffolding students' reflections in large courses is a major challenge. In the current study, we explored how real-time, technology-enhanced scaffolding affects the quality of students' reflections and academic performance. Two major research questions are: RQ1) Do students in the scaffolding condition construct more specific reflections than those in the non-scaffolding condition? RQ2) How do the scaffolding feature, reflection specificity, and the number of reflections relate to students' academic performance? To address these...

El presente estudio investiga el empleo y la función pragmática de las estrategias relacionadas con la cortesía verbal. Analiza un corpus producido por los escritos generados por estudiantes norteamericanos y hablantes nativos de español que realizaron la Tarea 1 de la prueba de interacción y expresión escrita del Proyecto de Examen Multinivel de Certificación del Español Académico de la Universidad Antonio de Nebrija. Para llevar a cabo el proyecto se identificaron el patrimonio estratégico relacionado con el tratamiento al docente, el nivel de dirección, los modificadores internos y los modificadores externos en el encabezado, cuerpo y cierre de sus correos electrónicos. Los...

Prior learning preparation, encompassing learners' prior knowledge, resources, and readiness for learning new material, plays a critical role in a new learning process. Unequal learning preparation commonly exists among learners with varying socioeconomic and academic backgrounds, and can further exacerbate the educational divide. By reducing learning cost and providing less prepared learners with personalized delivery of information and knowledge, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) may help mitigate disparities in learning preparation. In this study, we investigate the roles of learners' use of GenAI in their learning processes, considering varying levels of learners’ prior...

Despite poetry’s important role in improving linguistic skills and creative thinking, students often find poetry writing to be difficult and boring. This study is an investigation of how the digital Poetry Machine influences students’ poetry writing by applying AI techniques. It uses qualitative and quantitative analysis of the log data of poems that the seventh graders wrote with the Poetry Machine. The results show that the draft poems functioned as affordances, which the students followed as models. The drafts encouraged students to experiment with several different poetic features. The data suggest an association between the number of edited versions and the quality of the final poem....

Recent advances in large language models have revitalized research on automated essay evaluation, yet critical concerns remain regarding their reliability, validity, and interpretability. This study presents a comparative analysis of five LLMs (GPT-4.1, Llama 4 Maverick, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4, and DeepSeek R1) in the assessment of long English essays authored by non-native speakers in higher education. The analysis draws on LLM-generated scores for 60 essays to examine (a) intra-model reliability across repeated scoring runs, (b) the degree of alignment between model outputs and expert human ratings, and (c) causal feature dependencies that clarify how linguistic characteristics...

This study examines the factors influencing user acceptance of ChatGPT as a daily reference tool and assesses varying levels of user awareness. It aims to offer valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of implementing ChatGPT in an educational context. To achieve this objective, we employ an integrated model comprising the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and four novel external constructs: Privacy, Security, Social Influence, and Trust. This proposed model delivers an in-depth understanding of user acceptance by simultaneously measuring diverse user perspectives. Adopting a quantitative research approach, the study surveys undergraduate students regarding their use of...

Mathematical modelling (MM) is widely recognized as a key competency for addressing complex real-world problems, which requires learners to engage in higher-order processes such as abstraction, representation, and iterative reasoning. However, students often experience difficulties in coordinating these processes within mathematics modelling tasks. While recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer new possibilities for supporting mathematical modelling, limited research has examined how different forms of AI-mediated interaction shape students' learning processes in MM. To address this gap, the present study investigates five AI interaction roles, Tutor, Teaching Assistant, Peer,...

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping educational paradigms, this study explores AI-based chatbot adoption in higher education among students and educators. Employing a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, the research focuses on developing and validating a comprehensive model to understand the multifaceted factors impacting the acceptance and use of these chatbots. The methodology integrates an extensive literature review, construction of a theoretical model, administration of a detailed questionnaire to a representative sample from the higher education sector, coupled with advanced SEM techniques for data analysis and interpretation. The SEM analysis validates...

Access to AI-driven chatbots is triggering schools to transform. Easy access and questions of cheating are balanced against potential upsides of individual support, time savings, and the risk of falling behind. Therefore, insights into teachers’ AI self-efficacy and attitudes towards the integration of AI-driven chatbots in education necessitate research. This study approaches teachers' readiness to use AI-driven chatbots. A survey and poll questions were administered, yielding 312 and 406 responses respectively, focusing on AI self-efficacy, attitudes, and perceived usefulness in education. Preliminary findings show that while teachers are generally positive about the potential of AI in...
