In recent months, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had, and will continue to have, a dramatic impact on Higher Education (HE). A study conducted by researchers at a leading university in Australia surveyed 30 of their teaching staff, drawn predominantly from their teaching academy, and interviewed eight of them regarding the impact of AI on HE. Data were analyzed using the procedures of Inductive Thematic Analysis and revealed a lack of any homogenous sentiment around AI in HE and much ambiguity regarding best practice regarding recent technological developments. The results indicate concerns exist around concepts relating to academic integrity, however, these concerns may be exaggerated....

Most higher education institutions employ study advisors to support their students. To adequately perform their task, study advisors have access to study information about their students. Using AI techniques to analyze that information and to predict if a student might be at risk of study delay could be a valuable tool in study advisors' practice. In this paper, we present a use case of how such a tool was developed (in the form of a dashboard) and which steps and considerations played a role in the responsible deployment of the tool. Three aspects are described: first, we present the timeline of the case study and zoom in on how the macro-level of the institution (where the groundwork is...

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...

This study investigates how cognitive, affective, and behavioral variables related to artificial intelligence (AI) build AI self-efficacy among university students. Based on these variables, we identify three meaningful student groups, which can guide educational initiatives. We recruited 1465 undergraduate and graduate students from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany and measured their AI self-efficacy, AI literacy, interest in AI, attitudes towards AI, and AI use. Using a path model, we examine the correlations and paths among these variables. Results reveal that AI usage and positive AI attitudes significantly predict interest in AI, which in turn and together with AI...

With the development of globalization, college English translation teaching is faced with the challenge of dealing with complex language structure and cross-cultural content. The traditional teaching methods are inadequate in evaluating translation quality and correcting translation errors, which is difficult to meet the actual needs of students. This study combines deep learning and fuzzy algorithm to improve the effect of translation teaching. Based on the data analysis of 387 students, the BiLSTM model is used to train translation tasks, and the fuzzy inference system is used to evaluate translation quality comprehensively. The results show that this method improves students’ translation...

Early prediction of students' primary school academic performance is crucial for planning timely interventions for those expected to struggle. Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Extra Trees AI techniques were used to study 2549 first graders to predict end-of-year academic performance and identify critical predictors for targeted interventions. The Extra Trees model used EPIS (Empresários pela Inclusão Social) screening to yield high F1 scores above 99.7 %, accurately identifying passing and failing students. Out of 142 variables, the top ten strongest predictors of academic success were categorized into three areas: 1) teacher perceptions of cognitive function, particularly attention (...

Generative AI (GAI) is transforming education, despite its widespread use, its role in supporting student learning remains underexplored, and how to effectively leverage GAI for educational purposes is still unclear. This study focuses on enhancing language learning through GAI, specifically in picture-cued writing tasks, where students describe life scenarios depicted in pictures through text. A Generative AI-assisted language learning system was developed, powered by fine-tuned multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs), designed to evaluate students' textual descriptions in relation to corresponding images and provide adaptive feedback. A lot of middle school students participated in the...

This study seeks to enhance our understanding of how pre-service teachers working with the Alpha Generation (PSTAG) interact with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of ChatGPT. It specifically examines their perceptions of ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), and behavioral intention (BI) toward ChatGPT-4o, utilizing an extended version of the TAM. The survey method was used, and 450 PSTAG participated in the current study. Data were collected through a survey including the ChatGPT literacy scale (ChatGPT-LS) and TAM to determine PSTAG's ChatGPT-4o literacy level and its relationship with PEOU, PU, and BI. Thirteen hypotheses are developed to test the proposed...

University courses with hundreds of students have become common, particularly during early years of university studies. The sheer scale of these courses limits traditional instruction, shifting it towards a one-to-many mode of delivery. This shift reduces student–instructor interaction and tailored instructor feedback which are crucial for student success. Automated feedback systems allow scaling feedback, but they often reduce instructor contributions to student learning. This paper investigates how emerging technologies can support, rather than replace, instructors in tailoring their teaching and feedback to identify and correct student knowledge gaps at scale. To address this challenge,...

Automated scoring (AS) has become increasingly prevalent in educational measurement. However, applying it to international reading assessments remains challenging, particularly due to the length and complexity of the required prompting, driven by the need to include lengthy reading passages and detailed scoring guides. Processing these lengthy inputs results in high computational costs and may impede the performance of large language models (LLMs). This study explored the potential of optimizing AS with prompt compression using OpenAI's LLM, GPT-4o. Our results show that prompt compression significantly reduces the length of reading passages and scoring guides while maintaining their...
