E3S Web of Conferences
This qualitative study investigated the case of ChatGPT use by five students in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) class comprised of 28 students in total. The results of the analysis revealed dissonance in the way the subjects of the study had intended to use ChatGPT in their written assessments and how they used it, six weeks into the writing program. The results of the study revealed that their intention to use ChatGPT may have been within the remit of fair use, but their written output as evaluated by an AI detection tool revealed that the students might have violated academic integrity. This study has clear implications for the role of educators to guide students on how to use AI in their written assessments in such a way that they uphold academic integrity. Educational institutions, therefore, should take a pedagogical stance on AI text generators, which means that proactive measures should be taken to embrace AI as an assistive tool for writing, but fair and guided use of...

The recent surge of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education presents a fascinating landscape of opportunities and challenges. AI has the potential to personalize education and create more engaging learning experiences. However, the effectiveness of AI interventions relies on well-considered implementation strategies. The impact of AI platforms in education is largely determined by the particular learning environment and the distinct needs of each student. Consequently, investigating the attitudes of future educators towards this technology is becoming a critical area of research. This study explores the impact of generative AI platforms on students’ learning performance, experience, and satisfaction within higher education. It specifically focuses on students’ experiences with varying levels of technological proficiency. A comparative study was conducted with two groups from different academic contexts undergoing the same experimental condition to design, develop, and implement instructional design projects using various AI platforms to produce multimedia content tailored to their respective subjects. Undergraduates from two disciplines—Early Childhood Education (n = 32) and Computer Science (n = 34)—participated in this study, which examined the integration of generative AI platforms into educational content implementation. Results indicate that both groups demonstrated similar learning performance in designing, developing, and implementing instructional design projects. Regarding user experience, the general outcomes were similar across both groups; however, Early Childhood Education students rated the usefulness of AI multimedia platforms significantly higher. Conversely, Computer Science students reported a slightly higher comfort level with these tools. In terms of overall satisfaction, Early Childhood Education students expressed greater satisfaction with AI software than their counterparts, acknowledging its importance for their future careers. This study contributes to the understanding of how AI platforms affect students from diverse backgrounds, bridging a gap in the knowledge of user experience and learning outcomes. Furthermore, by exploring best practices for integrating AI into educational contexts, it provides valuable insights for educators and scholars seeking to optimize the potential of AI to enhance educational outcomes.

The rapid emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) has fundamentally transformed the educational landscape, presenting both profound opportunities and significant challenges. As a powerful and evolving digital creature, generative AI requires a literacy (GenAI literacy) that goes beyond mere basic understanding, requiring a comprehensive approach that integrates theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and deep critical reflection. This paper argues that GenAI literacy is crucial for surviving the complexities of human-machine interaction and properly leveraging this technology, especially in educational settings. The proposed 3wAI Framework-encompassing the dimensions of Know What, Know How, and Know Why-provides a structured yet adaptable model for cultivating GenAI literacy. Know What focuses on the foundational knowledge of AI, including its definitions, capacities, and decision-making processes. Know How emphasizes the practical application of AI, guiding users in leveraging AI to solve problems, innovate, and drive positive societal change. Know Why addresses the critical ethical and philosophical considerations, urging users to prioritize responsible AI use, advocate for equity and social justice, and critically assess the implications of AI technologies.

ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool that can engage in human-like conversations and generate coherent and contextually relevant responses to various prompts. ChatGPT is capable of understanding natural text that is input by a user and generating appropriate responses in various forms. This tool represents a major step in how humans are interacting with technology. This paper specifically focuses on how ChatGPT is revolutionizing the realm of engineering education and the relationship between technology, students, and faculty and staff. Because this tool is quickly changing and improving with the potential for even greater future capability, it is a critical time to collect pertinent data. A survey was created to measure the effects of ChatGPT on students, faculty, and staff. This survey is shared as a Texas A&M University technical report to allow other universities and entities to use this survey and measure the effects elsewhere.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools have become increasingly accessible and have impacted school education in numerous ways. However, most of the discussions occur in higher education. In schools, teachers' perspectives are crucial for making sense of innovative technologies. Accordingly, this qualitative study aims to investigate how GenAI changes our school education from the perspectives of teachers and leaders. It used four domainslearning, teaching, assessment, and administrationas the initial framework suggested in a systematic literature review study on AI in education. The participants were 88 school teachers and leaders of different backgrounds. They completed a survey and joined a focus group to share how ChatGPT and Midjounery had a GenAI effect on school education. Thematic analysis identified four main themes and 12 subthemes. The findings provide three suggestions for practices: know-it-all attitude, new prerequisite knowledge, interdisciplinary teaching, and three implications for policy: new assessment, AI education, and professional standards. They also further suggest six future research directions for GenAI in education.
