This study investigates the application of machine learning and BERT models to identify topic categories in helpful online course reviews and uncover factors that influence the overall satisfaction of learners in massive open online courses (MOOCs). The research has three main objectives: (1) to assess the effectiveness of machine learning models in classifying review helpfulness, (2) to evaluate the performance of fine-tuned BERT models in identifying review topics, and (3) to explore the factors that influence learner satisfaction across various disciplines. The study uses a MOOC corpus containing 102,184 course reviews from 401 courses across 13 disciplines. The methodology involves...

This paper examines the determinants that drive ChatGPT use in learning among Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) students. A proposed model based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model-2 (UTAUT2) was used in the context of the study. A pilot study was done prior to the main data collection to examine the reliability of the instrument. For the structural model assessment, 1117 responses were analyzed through Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPMA). Most hypotheses are confirmed by the significant results reported through the PLS-SEM. The strongest determinant of Behavioral Intention (BI) to...

AI tutors are becoming the new faces of digital classrooms, but these faces may determine who is trusted and who is ignored. Anthropomorphic avatars designed to increase engagement, may also activate social heuristics that reproduce offline patterns of bias. Yet little empirical research has examined how these identity cues shape epistemic trust and enacted reliance in AI-mediated learning. This study addresses this gap by systematically isolating their effects on learners' evaluative judgments and behavioral uptake in diverse learning contexts. Two experiments examined how avatar race, gender, and age shape trust in AI-mediated education. Study 1 (N = 102) used a within-subjects laboratory...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for education are being developed at an increasing pace. It seems reasonable to assume that these applications would enhance student experiences and course satisfaction, and that therefore educational institutions should invest in these technologies to enhance their student offer. However, this should be tested empirically. In the current study a gender-balanced sample of 302 UK students rated course satisfaction, completed the General Attitudes towards AI Scale (GAAIS), comfortableness with AI educational applications, and course satisfaction if AI educational applications were adopted. Although students were, on average, moderately comfortable...

While feedback is essential for guiding student learning, providing timely and personalized guidance in large-scale educational settings remains a significant challenge. Generative AI offers a scalable solution, yet little is known about students’ perceptions of AI-generated feedback. In this paper, we aim to investigate how the identity of the feedback provider (human vs. AI) affects students’ ability to assess feedback quality and whether their judgments are biased. We propose a comprehensive rubric for assessing the pedagogical quality of formative feedback. We use it to compare the objective quality of AI-generated and human-crafted feedback (N = 979). Next, using data collected from...

This study explored the experiences and perceptions of Thai and Vietnamese EFL learners regarding the use of ChatGPT for second language (L2) writing. It aimed to contribute to the ongoing discourse on using generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools to enhance L2 writing skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design with quantitative data gathered from 357 survey respondents from three educational institutions in Thailand and Vietnam and qualitative data from 16 interviewees from the same group of respondents, this study found that ChatGPT was perceived positively for L2 writing. Participants in the study found it a valuable tool for L2 writing, where its ability to generate ideas...

The current study is focused on the perceptions of university second language (L2) learners on having heritage speakers (HS) in the same Spanish language courses. Although some students confessed feelings of intimidation or fear, overall there was a positive attitude towards the benefits of mixed classrooms for L2 learners such as the improvement of their listening and cultural skills and the real immersion scenario. Considering students’ comments, there are some recommendations for implementation in mixed classrooms.

El presente estudio se enfoca en las percepciones de los aprendientes de segunda lengua (SL) universitarios sobre tener hablantes de herencia (HH) en los mismos cursos...

Mathematics word problem solving is a critical component of elementary education, yet many students encounter persistent difficulties in this area due to the combined cognitive demands of linguistic comprehension and mathematical reasoning. While previous studies have explored various pedagogical strategies to enhance problem-solving skills, the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in this domain remains underexplored. This study introduces the ChatGPT-supported Mathematics Problem-Solving System (ChatGPT-MPS), a GenAI-enabled learning environment designed to support primary students in developing problem-solving strategies and deepening conceptual understanding. To...

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...

ChatGPT stands out among other AI technology tools to provide assessment support in the higher education context. This exploratory study investigates the motivators and barriers which influence the use intention of ChatGPT for assessment support among undergraduates in Hong Kong. We tested the adapted and extended UTUAT model using the structural equation modeling approach. Through self-report online questionnaire, we received usable responses from 483 undergraduates of eight Hong Kong universities.In a highly competitive Chinese context, assessment results hold immense significance in determining the value and merit of students. The findings reveal that trust acts as the strongest...
