This study investigates how postsecondary learners employ generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, to support their self-directed learning (SDL) for writing purposes. Following a sequential mixed methods design, we analyzed 384 survey responses and 10 semi-structured interviews with postsecondary writers. Findings suggest that the major learning task that the learners used ChatGPT for writing is brainstorming and seeking inspiration for ideas. While the entering motivation for using ChatGPT varies from curiosity about innovative technologies to fulfilling academic requirements, such entering motivation transformed into task motivation when the learners perceived the potential benefits of...

Reflection and goal-setting are interrelated processes in well-established educational theories to promote in-depth self-reflection and self-regulated learning. Prior studies have considered reflection to be an important antecedent for meaningful goal-setting. Yet, there lacks empirical evidence to shed light on how students' abilities to reflect inform their abilities to set goals. Hence, in the present study, we aimed to quantify the connection between students' retrospective reflection and their subsequent goal-setting, and derive more in-depth insights to benefit educators in their teaching to promote deeper reflection, more specific goal-setting and better self-regulation. To this end...

En este artículo se describe el impacto de unas intervenciones didácticas motivacionales en el proceso y el output de la escritura de textos descriptivos en español como lengua extranjera por estudiantes neerlandófonos del 3er año de Grado de la formación de Lingüística Aplicada en la universidad flamenca KU Leuven.  Los textos producidos los grupos de aprendices tanto consecutivos como simultáneos se almacenaron y analizaron en la aplicación del corpus de aprendices Aprescrilov. Los resultados de las pruebas cuantitativas y cualitativas muestran un impacto significativo en el proceso (motivación) y output (riqueza léxica y estilo dinámico) de la escritura de los textos descriptivos...

As generative AI (GenAI) transforms how students learn and work, higher education must rethink its assessment strategies. This paper introduces a conceptual framework, DRIVE, and a taxonomy to help educators evaluate student learning based on their interactions with GenAI chatbots. Although existing research maps student-GenAI interactions to writing outcomes, practice-oriented tools for assessing evidence of domain-specific learning beyond general AI literacy skills or general writing skills remain underexplored. We propose that GenAI interactions can serve as a valid indicator of learning by revealing how students steer the interaction (Directive Reasoning Interaction) and articulate...

Con este artículo pretendemos indagar sobre la estrecha relación entre género y metadiscurso. Con este fin realizaremos una descripción de la noción de género y, más concretamente, del género carta al director. En segundo lugar, haremos una revisión crítica de las distintas tipologías existentes sobre las estrategias metadiscursivas. Por último, nos centraremos en el metadiscurso interpersonal explícito, basándonos en la tipología propuesta por Dafouz Milne (2006) y presentaremos algunos ejemplos, de un corpus de treinta seis textos pertenecientes al génerocartas al director, escritos por estudiantes hispanohablantes en segundo de Bachillerato.

The present research article attempts...

This research assesses the effectiveness of state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, Llama, Aya, Jais, and ACEGPT, in the task of Arabic automated essay scoring (AES) using the AR-AES dataset. It explores various evaluation methodologies, including zero-shot, few-shot in context learning, and fine-tuning, and examines the influence of instruction-following capabilities through the inclusion of marking guidelines within the prompts. A mixed-language prompting strategy, integrating English prompts with Arabic content, was implemented to improve model comprehension and performance. Among the models tested, ACEGPT demonstrated the strongest performance across the...

Generative AI is becoming part of academic writing, but its educational value depends on how control is shared between learner and system. This study examined an agency gap : performance differences that may arise when AI agent initiative is misaligned with learners’ generative AI literacy. Seventy-nine medical and nursing students completed two multimodal analytical writing tasks using healthcare simulation data visualisations. They were randomly assigned to a reactive agent that responded only when prompted or a proactive agent that provided sequenced questions and feedback. Generative AI literacy was measured using the validated 20-item Generative AI Literacy Assessment Test. Epistemic...

El español académico, ya sea en su versión nativa como no nativa, requiere una descripción teórica y prescriptiva que - por razones de necesidad, en la alfabetización académica y por su condición de nicho económico, en la acción editorial-, tiene buenos y asentados precedentes en los países de lengua española. Nada comparable con la tradición del inglés, como es fácil suponer. Paralelamente, es difícil disponer de material integrado en corpus y mucho menos en corpus no oportunísticos, con selección del ámbito de circulación.

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 potential application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in schools and universities poses great challenges, especially for the assessment of students’ texts. Previous research has shown that people generally have difficulty distinguishing AI-generated from human-written texts; however, the ability of teachers to identify an AI-generated text among student essays has not yet been investigated. Here we show in two experimental studies that novice (N = 89) and experienced teachers (N = 200) could not identify texts generated by ChatGPT among student-written texts. However, there are some indications that more experienced teachers made more differentiated and more accurate...
