Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely adopted as tools for academic writing, sparking interest in the factors that influence their adoption. However, existing research has predominantly focused on cognitive factors, such as perceived usefulness and ease of use, while giving insufficient attention to emotional motivations (e.g., perceived enjoyment, emotional engagement) in students' use of AI tools. This gap has led to a somewhat oversimplified or incomplete understanding of the factors influencing students' adoption of AI technologies. This study constructs a theoretical framework based on the Hedonic Information System Acceptance Model (HISAM) and the Technology...

This qualitative case study examines undergraduate students’ engagement with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in academic learning in an English-medium university setting. This study employs self-determination theory (SDT) as the primary interpretive framework, treating technology acceptance perceptions (e.g., usefulness and ease of use) as descriptive cues rather than explanatory constructs. Data from 23 semi-structured interviews were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis, complemented by epistemic network analysis (ENA) to examine the structural relationships among themes in students’ discourse, with automated coding validated against a manually coded subset. Students...

Since the introduction of the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), numerous studies worldwide have highlighted its effectiveness in elucidating Second Language Acquisition. However, the influence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology on this model remains largely unexplored. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a widely employed framework for examining the impact of a new technology, and this study explores the intercorrelation when these two models are considered together. Conducted with 35 s-year university English as a foreign language (EFL) students in humanities, the study involved two sessions of instructor-led ChatGPT usage writing workshops, followed by the...

Actualmente existe una gran demanda para la obtención de certificaciones de idiomas. Por ello, se han de realizar estudios sobre la validez y eficacia de los exámenes de acreditación de idiomas para asegurarnos de que miden con fiabilidad el nivel de desempeño lingüístico de los aprendientes y que se adecúan al perfil de los estudiantes y a sus necesidades personales y profesionales. Asimismo, al realizarse estos exámenes a nivel internacional, se han de analizar los factores culturales que pudieran afectar en la realización de las pruebas. Por último, es importante promover los aspectos motivacionales que ayudarán al aprendiente en la preparación de las pruebas y desarrollar material...

Argumentative writing is an important skill for (future) teachers, and this skill can be promoted with feedback. For such feedback to be effective, certain social and non-cognitive aspects must be considered. Building on this, our study investigated the influence of different feedback providers and language styles on learners’ motivation, emotions, self-efficacy, and perceptions about the provider and the feedback. A total of N = 98 German student teachers participated in the 3 (feedback provider: artificial intelligence (AI) vs educator vs peer) × 2 (feedback language: personalised vs neutral) experimental between-subjects design. Results showed that student teachers ascribed an AI,...

Although affective states play a crucial role in education, they are often difficult to communicate and observe in online learning environments. This challenge has led to growing research on systems that can automatically detect affective states. This systematic literature review used PRISMA to analyze 96 studies on affective computing in online higher education, published between 2019 and 2024. The findings show that the most frequently studied affective states include learning-centered states, such as engagement, confusion, frustration, sentiment, as well as basic emotions, such as happiness, anger, sadness, surprise, and fear. Terminology often overlaps, and basic emotions are commonly...

The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within educational contexts is fostering significant pedagogical shifts, with flipped learning concurrently gaining prominence as a dynamic, student-centered instructional model. Despite their individual merits, there remains a paucity of empirical research on the synergistic effects when AI enhances flipped learning, particularly concerning crucial EFL learner variables such as metacognitive awareness, writing development, and foreign language boredom. This study, therefore, aimed to address this gap by examining the impact of an AI-enhanced flipped learning environment. To this end, a quasi-experimental design was implemented...

The recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) present both challenges and opportunities for educational practitioners. A new AI curriculum has been developed and piloted in many primary schools in Beijing, China. The present study had two aims: (1) to test the factor structure of students’ motivation to learn AI and (2) to examine possible gender differences in students’ motivation to learn AI. This online questionnaire–based research recruited 420 primary students from the piloting schools. Structural equation modeling was employed to test a hypothesized model comprising six motivational factors and strategies: (1) intrinsic motivation, (2) career motivation, (3) attention, (4)...

Estudios anteriores han revelado que las palabras con contenido emocional tienen un efecto facilitador para la memoria de los hablantes tanto de primera como de segunda lengua (Rubin & Friendly, 1986; Anooshian & Hertel, 1994; Altarriba & Bauer, 2004; Ayiçiçegi-Dinn & Caldwell-Harris, 2009). Este estudio investiga cómo el cariz emocional de una historia, activado a través de señales audiovisuales, afecta la adquisición de elementos léxicos nuevos en hablantes de español como segunda lengua. Los resultados de una tarea de Asignación de Imagen y una de Nombramiento sugieren que los contextos emocionales positivos tienen un efecto facilitador para el reconocimiento y posterior...

Generative AI (GenAI) is increasingly adopted in design education, yet evaluating its educational value through final outcomes provides an incomplete picture. This study compares two ecologically plausible workflows in an architectural conceptual design task: GenAI-assisted image generation and ArchDaily-based precedent search. The comparison concerns complete workflows rather than the isolated contributions. Thirty-six students completed a two-phase design task, first designing independently and then revising with their assigned workflow. Screen-recording demonstrated active engagement in both conditions. Eight judges rated design performance, while participants reported task-specific and...
