The growing use of generative AI tools built on large language models (LLMs) calls the sustainability of traditional assessment practices into question. Tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT can generate eloquent essays on any topic and in any language, write code in various programming languages, and ace most standardized tests, all within seconds. We conducted an international survey of educators and students in higher education to understand and compare their perspectives on the impact of generative AI across various assessment scenarios, building on an established framework for examining the quality of online assessments along six dimensions. Across three universities, 680 students and 87...

Emerging discussions have boomed in relation to recent trends and applications of generative artificial intelligence in education, but few attention were paid to AI chatbots in terms of critical thinking ability and second language (L2) writing self-efficacy. To address such research gap, this study aims to delve into effectiveness of AI chatbot-integrated writing tasks on critical thinking ability and writing self-efficacy among vocational college students. Followed the quasi-experiment design, this study recruited 80 first-year vocational college students from two intact class. Throughout seven-week's instruction, quantitative data were collected with pre- and post-questionnaires of...

I argue that ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence tools pose three main threats to our current education systems, creating problems of measurement, information accuracy, and skill devaluation. But when we place these threats into historical context, we see that AI tools can also empower students and level the educational playing field. In classrooms from primary to tertiary and spanning all content areas, we can help our students become critical thinkers by using ChatGPT to comprehend texts, aggregate knowledge, and understand genre conventions in prose as well as programming. The aim is to help students leverage AI as a tool that they question and critique, advancing their...

In light of the growing popularity, accessibility, and utility of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools, their impact on learning can be either supportive or detrimental, depending on how students use them. This calls for an examination of students’ intention to use and reliance on GenAI to inform timely interventions within higher education to ensure favourable learning outcomes. This study investigates factors influencing intentions to use and reliance on GenAI among Engineering and Computer Science/ Information Technology (CS/IT) students. Drawing on an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study integrates the construct of critical use and conceptualises reliance...

This research examines the use of ChatGPT among university-level students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its effects on their learning experiences. The precise focus remains on the effects of ChatGPT usage on Student Engagement, Critical Thinking Abilities, and Academic Achievement. Using the cross-sectional design, the Constructivism Learning Theory supports this research. Data gathered using 353 structured questionnaires is analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results showed that ChatGPT usage positively affects student engagement in the learning process. The effect of ChatGPT usage on Critical Thinking Abilities also remained significant....

In an era where international education trends increasingly prioritize the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a critical need to understand how students effectively use these tools to foster innovative and deep learning. This study addresses this gap by investigating higher education students’ experiences with advanced AI tools within a nine-week instructional experiment structured by the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) model. Our primary motivation was to explore how a structured, inquiry-based framework could scaffold the development of sophisticated AI literacy, guiding students toward strategic human-AI partnerships. We employed a qualitative case study design,...

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...

This study investigated the mediating roles of academic stress, critical thinking, and performance expectations in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and AI dependency among university students. Data were collected via validated instruments and analyzed via structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in a cross-sectional study that included 676 students from six universities in northern Peru. The findings indicated that the relationship between academic self-efficacy and AI dependency was substantially mediated by academic stress (β = 0.398, p < 0.001). Furthermore, this relationship is serially mediated by academic stress and performance expectations (β = 0.325, p < 0.001)....

This systematic review examines how ChatGPT influences university students' critical and creative thinking by synthesizing 67 empirical studies (2022-2025) following PRISMA guidelines. We applied a dual-lens framework distinguishing convergent (critical thinking) and divergent (creative thinking) processes. Analysis revealed that, ChatGPT supports cognitive development when embedded within inquiry-oriented and scaffolded instructional designs, especially through processes such as metacognitive regulation, argumentative reasoning, and idea generation, which in turn produce synergistic gains across both critical and creative domains. However, in unstructured contexts, researchers observed...

This article reports a classroom-based inquiry in which a group of pre-service language teachers were guided to engage in a lesson study project focusing on the incorporation of the framework of big ideas into language teaching. Specifically, the study zooms in on the student teachers’ exercise and development of critical thinking (CT) through the lesson study process. Relying on data from semi-structured interviews and classroom artifacts, the findings reveal that the introduction of big ideas in lesson study served as a crucial knowledge base for the participants’ pedagogical sense-making, thus contributing to their CT. The process of lesson study, characterized by a progressive structure, tailored scaffolding, and constructive feedback, also facilitated their development of CT skills and dispositions, which in turn contributed to...
