This study explores the perception of artificial intelligence (AI)-based Chatbots, specifically Open AI's ChatGPT use, among physics students in four universities in Ghana, Jordan, and the United States. We utilized a survey instrument adapted from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to elicit responses from 804 students. TAM constructs: Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Subjective Norms (SN), Attitude Towards Technology Use (ATU), Behavioral Intention (BI), and User Behavior (UB) were assessed. We also assessed perceptions of ethical use (EU) and student learning outcomes (SLO) using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach. A measurement model had good fit...

The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as ChatGPT, has significantly impacted various aspects of human life, including higher education. This study explores university students' attitudes toward ChatGPT, focusing on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of attitudes, on the basis of Mitcham's philosophical framework of attitudes toward technology. A total of 595 university students from six public and private universities in northern Peru participated in an online survey. The results of the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that the affective component (β = 0.672∗∗∗) and the cognitive component (β = 0.260∗∗) positively...

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs), notably GPT models, have introduced new possibilities for automatic item generation (AIG) through prompt engineering. Although iterative prompt refinement can yield measurable improvements, this process eventually plateaus, as outputs remain inconsistent or misaligned with assessment constructs. This study reports an experimental comparison of prompting and fine-tuning to advance AIG for L2 listening assessment. First, we employed prompting and refined the instruction design over three successive iterations to determine an optimized prompt. We then fine-tuned GPT-4.1 using the same optimized prompt, holding prompt design constant to isolate...

This study investigates how U.S. college students (N = 1001) perceive and use ChatGPT, exploring its relationship with societal structures and student characteristics. Regression results show that gender, age, major, institution type, and institutional policy significantly influenced ChatGPT use for general, writing, and programming tasks. Students in their 30s–40s were more likely to use ChatGPT frequently than younger students. Non-native English speakers were more likely than native speakers to use ChatGPT frequently for writing, suggesting its potential as a support tool for language learners. Institutional policies allowing ChatGPT use predicted higher use of ChatGPT. Thematic analysis...

Online videos have become a central tool in modern education. Alongside this shift, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping personalized learning experiences, with generative large language models like ChatGPT offering new ways to tailor information to individual learners. Based on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML), which proposes two principles that relate to the interaction with the learning material (segmenting and generative activity), we conducted two experiments in which participants were asked to pause an educational video at times of comprehension difficulty. In Experiment 1 (N = 101), we examined whether GPT-generated summaries -introduced at self-paced pause...

To address the complexity and high costs of developing listening tests for test-takers of varying proficiency levels, this study investigates the capabilities of an OpenAI's large language model, ChatGPT 4, in developing listening assessments. Employing prompt engineering and fine-tuning of prompts, the study specifically focuses on creating listening scripts and test items using ChatGPT 4 for test-takers across a spectrum of proficiency levels (academic, low, intermediate, and advanced). For comparability, the 24 topics of these scripts were selected from topics found in academic listening tests. We conducted two types of analyses to evaluate the quality of the output. First, we performed...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the ethical and responsible use of AI chatbots in education in support of critical thinking, cognitive flexibility and self-regulation in terms of their potential to enhance and motivate teaching and learning in contemporary education environments. AI chatbots such as ChatGPT by OpenAI appear to be improving in conversational and other capabilities and this paper explores such advances using version 4. Based on a review of the research literature, a conceptual framework is formulated for responsible use of AI chatbots in education supporting cognitive flexibility in AI-rich learning environments. The framework is then operationalized for use in this...

The present research was to bridge a research gap in comprehensively understanding students’ perceptions and experiences in utilizing ChatGPT for their writing process in English as a foreign language (EFL) context. The participants were 45 EFL learners in Macau. The study aimed to explore the potential impact of ChatGPT on writing, as well as their perceptions and experiences of ChatGPT in generating feedback for writing. A mixed-methods approach was employed, with quantitative data collected from a questionnaire and qualitative insights drawn from interviews conducted after a semester-long writing course. The findings supported the significant positive effects of AI assistance on writing...

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has gained notable attention in educational literature, with supporters and critics expressing varying opinions. Despite its popularity, only a few reviews are available on the subject, with limitations such as small sample sizes and limited scope. This study aims to clarify the major themes influencing the discussion on GenAI in educational contexts. It employs a strong Business Intelligence paradigm and uses bibliometric analysis and topic modeling focusing on the R program's structural topic model (STM) Package, VOSviewer, and bibliometric software. The results highlight the esteem of GenAI in education and evidence of international...

The recent emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, has brought profound changes to higher education. While many studies have examined the potential use of ChatGPT in teaching and learning, few have explored the opportunities to develop assessments that facilitate the use of multiple technological innovations (i.e. traditional AI and GenAI tools). We conducted qualitative research to address this gap. The assessments of an elective English course in Hong Kong were re-designed to incorporate GenAI and other tools. Students were asked to employ and reflect on their use of these tools for their writing assessments. We analyzed the written reflections of...
