Navigating opportunities and challenges of generative AI in higher education: towards responsible, equitable, and human-centered integration

The rapid emergence of generative AI (GenAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, presents transformative potential for higher education (HE) while also raising significant ethical, pedagogical, and policy- related concerns. This systematic and thematic review, based on 46 documents from the Web of Science (WoS), narrows its qualitative analysis to 27 peer-reviewed articles to explore key trends in implementation. Findings highlight GenAI's benefits in improving personalized learning, self-regulated strategies, and adaptive…

Den-SOFA: Dental Student Outcome Forecasting Assistant using explainable machine learning models

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly being explored in dental education to support academic assessment and identify students at risk of poor performance. However, predictive modeling in this setting remains challenging because complex, nonlinear relationships among academic and demographic variables influence student achievement. Moreover, the value of such models lies not only in prediction but also in interpretability. This study evaluated Den-SOFA, an explainable ML framewor…

The effects of AI-based visual instruction on the reading comprehension of students with dyslexia in Saudi Arabia: a single-case experimental study

Students with learning disabilities (LD), particularly dyslexia, often face significant challenges in reading comprehension that traditional instruction may not fully address. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) offers emerging opportunities to provide personalised and visual instructional support to bridge these gaps. This study investigated the effectiveness of a GenAI-based visual instruction to support the reading comprehension skills of students with dyslexia. A single-case experimental design using…

The impact of robot-assisted language learning (RALL) on EFL students’ classroom engagement and willingness to attend classes (WTAC): A technology acceptance model (TAM) perspective

Recently, a surge of scholarly attention has been paid to the impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on second/foreign language (L2) education. Nonetheless, there is a lack of evidence on the role of AI-assisted robots or robot-assisted language learning (RALL) in English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ psycho-emotional factors and academic behaviors. To address this gap, drawing on the technology acceptance model (TAM), the present study probed into the impact of robot-assisted L2 education on Chin…

Manipulation and Deception in Generative AI-Mediated Education: Preserving Epistemic Agency, Critical Thinking, and Creativity

Abstract Generative AI now mediates core parts of learning, yet we lack criteria to tell its legitimate pedagogical uses from manipulative and deceptive ones. We also know too little about how AI reshapes the growth of critical thinking and creativity, or about whether it accelerates drift from educational goods to evaluative metrics. Using a postdigital, pragmatist lens that treats classrooms as sociomaterial assemblages of people, platforms, and institutions, we propose three orienting principles: moral legiti…

Human-AI co-creation or conflict? Mapping art students’ diverse perspectives on creative identity with genAI: A Q methodology study

Abstract Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly transforming creative fields, raising critical questions about its impact on artistic identity and authorship, which also influence art education. While studies have explored GenAI adoption, the diversity of art students’ subjective perspectives on collaborating with these tools remains under-examined. This study uses Q methodology, a mixed-methods approach to investigating subjectivity, to explore the distinct perspectives art students hold regarding their creative iden…

AI-enhanced pedagogical practices and mathematical language proficiency in STEM education

This study investigates the effectiveness of AI-enhanced pedagogical practices on improving the mathematical language proficiency of senior high school students in Ghana. The current research adopted a quantitative cross-sectional design, where the structural equation modeling approach was used on a sample size of 360 participants, to investigate digital literacy and learning engagement as partial mediators. As expected, results from this study show that AEPP, DL, and LE are statistically significant positive pr…

A kind of magic? Artificial intelligence-assisted recording: developing principles for an AI-informed social work curriculum

The deployment of AI tools in social work practice settings is advancing at a pace that social work education has yet to match. Drawing on baseline findings from an independent evaluation of Magic Note, an AI-assisted recording tool deployed across a Scottish Local Authority social work department, this paper uses the empirical experiences of a workforce encountering AI in practice as a window into the underdeveloped implications for qualifying education. The evaluation, which involved 152 practitioners surveyed…

Exploring student anxiety and experience in performance-based assessments using AIvaluate: an LLM-augmented emotionally intelligent pedagogical AI conversational agent

Abstract Performance-based assessments such as oral presentations and viva voce exams are valued for their pedagogical benefits but can also be associated with heightened student anxiety, which may affect a range of learners and hinder student motivation and overall assessment experience. This study explores the potential of AIvaluate; an emotionally intelligent, LLM-augmented conversational agent, to provide a more supportive assessment environment for such learners. Using a counterbalanced quasi-experimental,…

Exploring GenAI affordance in EFL continuation task instruction for developing Chinese high school students’ writing complexity, accuracy and fluency

Abstract The role of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) affordance in specific task teaching, particularly the continuation writing task, remains insufficiently theorized and empirically underexplored. To bridge this research gap, a repeated-measures intervention study was conducted within the framework of Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) to investigate the implementation of GenAI-assisted continuation task instruction and its associations with the development of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’…

Understanding the Generative AI Divide: Faculty and Student Perspectives in Higher Education

As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools rapidly transform educational landscapes, higher education institutions face the critical challenge of developing effective policies and guidelines for their integration. However, little empirical research has examined actual GenAI usage patterns, perceptions, knowledge assessments, and training needs among faculty and students in U.S. universities. This study presents findings from a comprehensive survey of 3,164 students and 166 faculty members at a large R1…
