Investigating Research Skills and Artificial Intelligence Attitudes Among Residents in Surgical Medicine Departments
type: item
description: This research aims to examine the relationship between scientific research skills and attitudes towards artificial intelligence among residents in surgical medicine departments, considering gender and seniority. A quantitative research approach with a comparative correlational survey model was adopted; data was collected via online questionnaires from 127 surgical residents in training and research hospitals and university public hospitals in Ankara, Konya, and İzmir provinces. The findings revealed that participants' scientific research skills were at a moderate level, while their attitudes towards artificial intelligence were at a high level. Male participants showed significantly higher scientific research skills compared to their female peers, while no gender-based difference was found in attitudes towards artificial intelligence. As seniority increased, scientific research skills also increased significantly; however, attitudes towards artificial intelligence did not change with seniority. Regression analysis showed that attitudes towards artificial intelligence did not significantly predict scientific research skills. Based on these results, it is recommended to strengthen research methodology training in the early stages of specialist training, to investigate the causes of gender inequality using qualitative methods, to integrate artificial intelligence tools into the curriculum, and to expand the study to include a wider sample and different disciplines.

Apprehensions of Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Higher Learning: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: The integration of artificial intelligence in higher learning has been studied and commented upon by several researchers. One thing that is obvious is that there are several authors who are hopeful that artificial intelligence has positive prospects for higher learning. On the other hand, there are also several authors who think that artificial intelligence is negatively affecting higher learning. While some authors report on hopes only and others on fears only, some others report both fears and hopes. This systematic review engages a total of 61 reports, including journal articles and grey literature, to address three issues. The first is about the extent to which researchers admit to the existence of negatives of AI in higher education. The second is about the factors that these researchers associate with the fears they admit. The third is a summarized identification of sources of this fear. Literature for this review was collected from various online sources, and the PRISMA 2020 flowchart was used for screening. Finally, content analysis was conducted using NVIVO computer software. Results show that, to a large extent, authors admit to the existence of various kinds of disadvantages in using AI in higher learning. These disadvantages lead to fears related to ethics and compromise established standards of higher education. Higher education policy makers and managers are, therefore, called upon to take necessary precautions in designing AI-supported systems and put in place reliable and effective guidelines for their use.

Critical Factors That Shape the Pedagogical Integration of ICT in Technology-Rich Senior High Schools
type: item
description: The common belief is that providing technological tools and equipment leads to the pedagogical integration of ICT in schools. This study tested this idea by examining key factors and contextual barriers that influence how ICT is integrated pedagogically in technology-rich Senior High Schools in Ghana. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 103 teachers in both public and private SHSs with modern ICT infrastructure. The study investigated important factors such as learning styles and needs, teacher motivation and incentives, teachers’ perceived ease of use of technology, and ICT infrastructure. A multiple regression analysis revealed that teacher motivation/incentives and ICT infrastructure are significant predictors of the level of pedagogical ICT integration. These factors together explain 59.1% of the variation in ICT integration, while perceived ease of use and learning styles/needs were not significant predictors. Despite the availability of ICT resources, teachers highlighted contextual challenges, including a lack of technical skills, misalignment of technology with curriculum goals, difficulties in shifting to interactive learning methods, and promoting digital citizenship. These findings demonstrate that resources alone are insufficient; addressing pedagogical and systemic barriers is essential for meaningful ICT integration in SHSs. The implementation of sustainable technology integration in schools requires establishing policies which promote ICT-enhanced teaching methods, professional development and teacher motivation.

Nurturing Reflective Thinking Skills Among Prospective Teachers Through a Learner-Educator Feedback System Using Google Keep
type: item
description: Digital feedback tools are increasingly being explored as means of fostering reflective thinking in higher education. This study investigated the use of Google Keep as a tool to cultivate reflective thinking skills in an Environmental Science course among fourth-year college students at a public tertiary institution in the Philippines using both quantitative and qualitative data sources. Students used Google Keep in completing reflective tasks during discussions, enabling real-time learner-educator feedback. Quantitative data were gathered using pre- and post-administration of the Reflective Thinking Survey Questionnaire, Kember’s Reflective Thinking Rubric, and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Survey. Descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were employed to analyze changes in reflective thinking. Results indicated a statistically significant improvement in students’ reflective thinking skills (z = 3.659, p < 0.05) based on survey data. However, Kember’s rubric revealed limited depth in reflective engagement, particularly in relating personal experiences to academic concepts. Findings from the TAM survey suggested strong student acceptance of Google Keep, emphasizing its perceived ease of use and functionality. Thematic analysis of responses to the Reflection Questionnaire corroborated the tool’s usability and its role in promoting reflection, while also suggesting areas for interface enhancement. Overall, the findings affirm the potential of Google Keep as a practical, accessible platform for delivering feedback and cultivating reflective thinking in higher education science courses.

type: item
description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have infiltrated every single sector worldwide, especially education. LLM-based tools have become commonplace, primarily among students. The trend over the past three years has been to explore how these revolutionary tools can be most effectively utilized to advance education and address the implications of their use. This study investigates the role of LLMs in enhancing English as a foreign language students’ (EFL) reading skills. It draws on data from 38 EFL teachers in middle and high schools in Taourirt, Morocco by focusing on their perceptions of using LLMs as instructional tools. A qualitative analysis reveals that most teachers view LLMs positively. The majority of teachers believe that the foregoing tools can generate diverse, contextually relevant reading materials, personalize learning experiences, and foster engagement through interactive content. Despite these benefits, teachers also noted a number of challenges. By examining the merits and demerits of LLMs in reading instruction, this study provides insights for educators and policymakers on integrating AI-driven tools, specifically in reading instruction.

Students' Experiences with Robotics Coding Activities
type: item
description: Robotic coding activities help to concretize abstract scientific concepts, develop higher-order skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking, and provide students with opportunities to observe, formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and analyze data. Therefore, this study has chosen robotic coding activities as its research area. This study aimed to determine the opinions of eighth-grade middle school students on Arduino-based robotic coding activities integrated into science topics. This study employs a case study based on a qualitative research design. This research employed criterion sampling to select participants. The study group consists of five eighth-grade students studying at a public school. Researchers preferred a 13-question semi-structured interview as a data collection tool. The interviews were conducted face-to-face and online via Zoom by the third researcher. Interview data were analyzed using content analysis. Participants were informed about the activities under the guidance of the school and their families. Participants preferred Arduino-based robotic coding activities because of their connection to daily life. Five participants indicated they wanted to learn science topics through Arduino-based robotic coding activities because it facilitated meaningful learning. Participants stated increased motivation for science topics due to Arduino activities and noted that collaborative work improved their experiences. The authors argue that family guidance requires further research. Activities should be designed considering students' differences and interests. Interactive activities within the constructivist learning paradigm are necessary for students to manage their learning processes effectively. Additionally, conflicts that arise during group work enhance students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Theoretical Convergence or Complexity? Integrating Task-Technology Fit into Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 for Educational Technology Adoption
type: item
description: This study examined the integration of Task-Technology Fit (TTF) into the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) in the context of educational technology adoption. While UTAUT2 provided a behavioural perspective on technology acceptance, TTF offered a task-specific approach, highlighting the alignment between technology and user needs. The convergence of these models introduced theoretical and methodological challenges, particularly concerning construct overlap and model complexity. The analysis of existing literature on UTAUT2-TTF integration identified gaps in structural validity and construct differentiation. The findings indicated that while TTF enhanced the explanatory power for technology use behaviour (UB), its integration into UTAUT2 introduced redundancy, particularly between performance expectancy and task-technology fit. The study suggested that future research should refine model constructs to improve clarity and parsimony, ensuring theoretical coherence and empirical rigour. A meta-analytic structural equation modelling approach (MASEM) was recommended to enhance the evaluation of integrated models across multiple contexts. This study contributed to the ongoing discourse on technology adoption models, advocating for a balanced approach that maintained explanatory power while minimising complexity.

Primary School Students' Digital Game Addiction and Happiness Levels at School
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the relationship between 4th-graders' levels of digital game addiction and their happiness levels at school. The correlational research method is used to determine the relationships between different variables and to predict possible results. A total of 224 fourth-grade students, aged 9 and 10 years old, participated in the fall semester of 2021-2022 (the first year of the outbreak) and the spring semester of 2022-2023 (following the outbreak). Two scales were used to collect the data: "Happiness at School Scale for Primary School Students” and “Digital Game Addiction for Children.” Descriptive statistics were used to determine the levels of digital game addiction among primary school students and their happiness levels at school. Correlational research statistics were used to investigate the relationship between the level of happiness at school and the level of digital game addiction. The results showed that a negative, moderately significant relationship was found between students’ digital game addiction levels and their happiness levels at school. Distance education has decreased children's happiness at school and increased their addiction to games.

AI in STEM Teacher Education: Inquiry into Capabilities of an Emerging Technology
type: item
description: Important prerequisites for effective teaching in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are outlined in the refined consensus model of pedagogical content knowledge: Teachers need to become able to apply their pedagogical content knowledge in practice, called enacted pedagogical content knowledge. To support pre-service STEM teachers to develop enacted pedagogical content knowledge, scholars in STEM fields need to implement opportunities of lesson planning, teaching, and reflecting upon teaching, and provide assessments and guidance for professional development. This theoretical article reviews advances in artificial intelligence-based methods in reference to applications of these methods in pre-service STEM teacher education with a focus on the refined consensus model for pedagogical content knowledge. A number of selected studies provides valuable insights into opportunities and challenges of applying AI in STEM teacher education. We found that AI technologies, based on their differing degrees of sophistication, provide different affordances with regards to research and professional development. AI technologies already prevail STEM teacher education and STEM learning more generally. To enhance STEM teacher education with AI technologies, affordances of the technologies with reference to potentials for automation and feedback have to be recognized. The refined consensus model provides a valuable lens to conceptualize these affordances.

The Transformative Landscape of eLearning Center for Innovative Education and Communication Technologies: Institutionalizing eLearning
type: item
description: In May 2005 the University of the Western Cape (UWC) established an eLearning Division (ED) that over the past 18 years has accelerated into the institutionalization of the efficient center for Innovative Education and Communication Technologies (CIECT). The initial objective of the ED was to align itself with emerging technologies as a result of the digital transformation that has impacted Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) globally. In this paper, we present how UWCs eLearning Division (established May 2005) evolved first into the eLearning Development and Support Unit (EDUS) and then into the Centre for Innovative Education and Communication Technologies (CIECT). CIECT was strategically separated from the Department of Information and Communication Services (ICS) in 2009 and repositioned as an independent structure of UWC. We highlight the transformative eLearning landscape at UWC by presenting a detailed account of the shift in practices using a comparative research method. By doing so we determine the initial perceptions and objectives of the eLearning division of UWC and its growth. The object of the study is to compare the rate of growth of the eLearning division across a five-year period. By comparing the progressive growth of the eLearning division longitudinally, we will be able to document its successes and achievements. These successes and achievements can serve as a benchmark for future research. More research that delves into the effectiveness of having an eLearning division at HEIs in support of students’ teaching and learning is needed.

Selecting Suitable Programming Languages for Beginner-Level Instruction
type: item
description: This study examines factors influencing the preference for Python and Java as introductory programming languages in a Nigerian higher education institution. Using an integrated framework combining the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2), key constructs such as perceived usefulness, ease of learning, social influence, and industry relevance were identified as crucial in shaping students’ preferences. A survey of 308 second-year students revealed Python as the preferred beginner-level language, with 75.6% favoring it over Java. Python’s perceived ease of learning (M = 4.09), usefulness (M = 4.41), and alignment with industry demands (M = 4.34) were significantly higher than Java’s (M = 3.31, 3.74, and 3.78 respectively). Additionally, 70 students (over 22%) selected C++ as the best alternative, appreciating its ability to provide a deeper understanding of system-level programming. Regression analysis showed perceived usefulness (β = 0.24), ease of learning (β = 0.22), and industry relevance (β = 0.21) as strong predictors of language preference, especially for Python. Students’ perceptions of future use and social influence also significantly predicted preferences, highlighting Python’s applicability to emerging technologies and career goals. The study recommends prioritizing Python for introductory courses, retaining Java for advanced topics, and integrating Generative AI tools to enhance programming education outcomes.

Parental Involvement in Developing Students’ Perseverance in Solving Mathematical Problem through the Use of Social Media
type: item
description: The present study aims to contribute on the understanding of the relationships between parental involvement during the school homework in mathematics with students’ perseverance in problem solving ability in mathematics and their self-regulatory performance in problem solving. The whole framework of the intervention program concentrated on affecting parents’ beliefs about their role on children’s homework in mathematics, by using the contribution of social media in order to affect indirectly their children’s behaviour. The pre and post intervention tests on students’ behaviour were followed by a 3rd measurement in order to examine the further impact of the possible initial changes. Data were selected by 183 students at the 5th grade (10 years old) and one of their parents. Dynamic modelling indicated that the three factors (parents’ beliefs, students’ self-regulation and their problem solving persistence) were interrelated at each one of the measurement waves and that the growth in each of the ability was affected by the state of the others. The role of the use of social media, as means of communication with parents is discussed.

An Ontology-based Model for Contextual Recommendations in e-learning
type: item
description: Dramatic increase of learning resources has made the process of learning a time-consuming task for learners to find relevant resources. Recommender systems are increasingly being developed in E-Learning systems to find relevant resources and facilitate both learning and teaching process. The learning style is defined as the learners’ preferences in the way they seek and understand information in the learning process. Although many work have been published in the field of recommender systems in E-learning systems, more research should be conducted to study contextual information such as learning style to create more relevant recommendations. We focus the leaning style in order to create an ontology model for recommender systems. To establish this goal, the following objectives should be achieved: to review six aforementioned learning style models, to investigate what are the basic components (properties) of users’ learning style and to present an ontology model for creating recommendations using learning style.
