estudio empírico

Aunque la asistencia a un curso de idiomas en el país de acogida incrementa un 8% las posibilidades de dominio de la nueva lengua adicional de una persona adulta migrante, pocos son los trabajos que exploran las características de la formación lingüística para personas migrantes adultas. Este artículo examina los rasgos principales de los programas de español para personas migrantes adultas en la Comunidad de Madrid y presenta los resultados del estudio cualitativo exploratorio realizado en nueve entidades, públicas y privadas. Durante el periodo comprendido entre abril y agosto de 2022, se mantuvo entrevistas con directores, responsables académicos y docentes de español de entidades de la...

Resumen:

Scene description tasks effectively enhance students' English writing skills in contextual settings, facilitating the establishment of authentic situational connections. However, evaluating descriptive quality and providing accurate, level-appropriate feedback present significant challenges. Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in vision-language tasks, their generated feedback for scene description tasks often remains generic. It fails to account for students' educational stages. To address this limitation, we construct a novel level-specific feedback dataset for scene description tasks. This dataset is constructed using GPT-4o with...

Resumen:

Researchers' efforts to build a knowledge base of how middle school students learn about machine learning (ML) is limited, particularly, considering the African context. Hence, we conducted an experimental classroom study (N = 32) within the context of extracurricular activities in a Nigerian middle school to discern how students engaged with ML activities. Furthermore, we explored whether participation in our intervention program elicit changes in students' ML comprehension, and perceptions. Using multiple qualitative data collection techniques including interviews, pre-post open-ended surveys and written assessments, we uncover evidence that indicated evolution of students’ ML...

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

In light of the growing popularity, accessibility, and utility of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools, their impact on learning can be either supportive or detrimental, depending on how students use them. This calls for an examination of students’ intention to use and reliance on GenAI to inform timely interventions within higher education to ensure favourable learning outcomes. This study investigates factors influencing intentions to use and reliance on GenAI among Engineering and Computer Science/ Information Technology (CS/IT) students. Drawing on an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study integrates the construct of critical use and conceptualises reliance...

How can GenAI foster an inclusive language classroom? A critical language pedagogy perspective from Philippine university teachers

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

Recent studies have recognized the potential and drawbacks of using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), especially ChatGPT, in education. However, studies exploring the possibility of GenAI tools in language education are scarce from the perspective of critical pedagogy. This qualitative study explores the perspectives of 14 academics in Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) regarding the use of GenAI in pedagogical contexts and how such use of these GenAI tools fosters an environment of inclusivity and equality among learners. Employing an open-ended survey questionnaire and follow-up individual interviews, the findings not only highlight the perceived benefits of GenAI...

Resumen:

La presente investigación examina el efecto de tres tipos de instrucción en la adquisición de los verbos copulativosser yestar con estudiantes angloparlantes de nivel bajo-intermedio de E/LE en una escuela secundaria. En el estudio experimental se comparan los efectos de una instrucción tradicional (IT) enfocada en la producción con los de dos tipos de instrucción basada en el procesamiento delinput (IP). Este estudio también examina el efecto del orden de presentación de los elementos de la IP (explicación de reglas antes o después de las actividades de práctica). Los efectos de estos tres tipos de instrucción se comparan con los de la instrucción nula de un grupo de control (C) que no...

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting the way we teach and learn. However, there are still substantial barriers to the integration of AI in educational settings, as teachers often lack the necessary competences to understand and use AI for pedagogical purposes. Therefore, in the early stages of teacher preparation, it is essential to assess the readiness of pre-service teachers for this transition in different initial teacher education (ITE) contexts. This study aims to investigate the readiness of pre-service teachers in Portugal and Spain to integrate AI into future teaching practices. To this end, a study was conducted with 203 pre-service teachers from both countries that compared...

Resumen:

This study addresses the gap between the theoretical framework of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) literacy and its practical development, by investigating how university students in the humanities acquire and refine GenAI-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Through a 16-week intervention structured into three progressive phases, 16 students engaged with multiple GenAI tools while developing competencies in research and academic writing. The data collection included structured GenAI dialogues, periodic questionnaires, reflective assignments, and in-depth interviews. The findings revealed three interconnected dimensions of GenAI literacy development. Students internalized and...

Verifying student identity in oral assessments with deep speaker

Metodología: estudio empírico

Temas: inteligencia artificial

Resumen:

Contract cheating, a form of academic misconduct in which students outsource assessment activities to third parties, is a topic of concern among educators. As similarity-detection systems are ineffective at detecting contract cheating, some institutions have turned to intensely criticised proctoring systems, however student and educator bodies report high costs and privacy concerns. Oral assessment is an alternative assessment approach that provides valuable interpersonal and communication skills in graduates and can naturally help detect and deter cheating. However, oral assessment is typically time-consuming, and in larger courses, it is challenging to validate respondents' identity....
