Introduction: Generative AI is reshaping programming education, yet its effects on conceptual learning, intrinsic motivation, and cognitive load remain unclear. This study tests whether assistance deepens understanding or primarily boosts task completion, and how scaffolded versus answer-giving designs matter. Objectives: This study compares performance, learning, cognitive load, frustration, and motivation across three AI support types, and examines students’ perceptions. Methods: A three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted in an introductory programming (CS1) course at TUM (N=275). Participants completed a 90-minute exercise on concurrency, implementing a parallel sum with...

Collaborative writing, paired with AI feedback, represents an innovative and effective pedagogical approach with the potential to revolutionize language learning practices. This study explores the influence of a three-step collaborative writing intervention, where AI feedback specially enhances the revision and editing stages of the L2 writing process for Thai-major undergraduate exchange students. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study included 39 junior exchange students, with 18 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. The approach employed a wiki-based collaborative writing strategy, integrating ChatGPT for written corrective feedback. The 10-week intervention...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and gamified learning have attracted interest from language educators and researchers in the field of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) for their potential to enhance vocabulary acquisition outcomes. However, the relative effectiveness of AI-generated storytelling and gamified learning in EFL vocabulary acquisition has been underexplored. This study examines the influence of AI-generated storytelling and gamified learning on the vocabulary retention and engagement of intermediate-level EFL learners. Ninety participants were allocated among three groups: a control group that employed conventional vocabulary methods (e.g., rote memorization using...

This study developed an interactive test dashboard with diagnosis and feedback mechanisms (ITD-DFM) that can generate visualized, rich, and high-quality test feedback for each learner’s learning reflection and review based on simultaneously considering test response time and correctness to assist students’ learning. A quasi-experimental research was conducted with 50 Grade 8 students from two classes in a public junior high school in Taiwan to assess the learning performance of ITD-DFM. One class with 26 students was assigned to the experimental group using the ITD-DFM to support learning, whereas the other class with 24 students was assigned to the control group using the traditional test...

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...

This study seeks to understand the effects of a personalized learning platform, which applied an open learner model with self-regulation and AI-enabled data visualization features, on students' self-regulated learning strategies used and behavioral patterns during their self-directed online learning process. Results were based on a self-regulated learning scale and a prior knowledge test from 182 university students and supplemented with students' system logs to understand their behavioral patterns while interacting with the personalized learning platform. It showed that the combined self-regulation and data visualization features (dual features) improve student performance via self...

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Text Generative AI as a supplementary teaching tool within a blended learning approach, aiming to provide educators with additional pedagogical flexibility and enhance classroom efficiency. Employing an experimental methodology with the 400 participants of control and experimental groups, the study utilized pre-test and post-test evaluations, stratified sampling, and impartial reviews of prepared scripts. The intervention incorporated AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini as co-teaching assistants, applied only to the experimental group, with a unique integration strategy designed to seamlessly blend these tools into the...

Resumen:

In many compulsory second language (L2) classrooms, learners routinely encounter linguistically difficult L2 reading tasks. However, it is unclear (1) how learners behaviorally engage and perform on such tasks, (2) what motivational characteristics predict their reactions, and (3) whether maladaptive learner reactions can be ameliorated. This study examined the role of two motivational constructs (attributions and self-efficacy) and a common teaching practice (effort feedback) in predicting and ameliorating learners’ behavioral engagement and performance on linguistically difficult L2 reading tasks. Japanese high school students ( N = 238) studying English were recruited for an experimental study and randomly assigned to either the treatment group (n = 124) or the comparison group (n = 114). Both groups first performed a...

Resumen:

Productive vocabulary is widely recognized as an essential component of second language proficiency, yet it remains one of the most challenging aspects of lexical development. This study investigated whether continuation writing could enhance learners’ productive vocabulary knowledge. In a longitudinal experiment, 75 Chinese EFL learners were assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group completed a continuation writing practice every 2 weeks, followed by a free writing post-test 1 week later; the control group completed independent writing practices and took the same post-tests. A total of 525 essays were collected. Indices of lexical density, diversity, and sophistication were extracted using TAALED and TAALES, and analyzed through linear mixed-effects models and repeated-measures correlation...

Resumen:

Collaborative writing (CW) has been proven advantageous to enhance the second and foreign language skills of university students. However, little research to date has explored whether CW practices are fruitful for secondary school learners in foreign language (FL) contexts, a population characterized by low language proficiency levels, and few opportunities to engage with the FL. The present classroom-based study examines CW in this setting and aims to determine whether CW fosters language opportunities, operationalized as language-related episodes (LREs), which will allow learners in low-input scenarios to compose better texts. Two parallel intact classes were studied: a control group (n = 16) which produced an argumentative essay individually, and an experimental group (n = 16) which did so in pairs while recording their...
