Empowering student self‐regulated learning and science education through ChatGPT: A pioneering pilot study

In recent years, AI technologies have been developed to promote students' self‐regulated learning (SRL) and proactive learning in digital learning environments. This paper discusses a comparative study between generative AI‐based (SRLbot) and rule‐based AI chatbots (Nemobot) in a 3‐week science learning experience with 74 Secondary 4 students in Hong Kong. The experimental group used SRLbot to maintain a regular study habit and facilitate their SRL, while the control group utilized rule‐based AI chatbots. Results showed that SRLbot effectively enhanced students' science knowledge, behavioural engagement and motivation. Quantile regression analysis indicated that the number of interactions significantly predicted variations in SRL. Students appreciated the personalized recommendations and flexibility of SRLbot, which adjusted responses based on their specific learning and SRL scenarios. The ChatGPT‐enhanced instructional design reduced learning anxiety and promoted learning performance, motivation and sustained learning habits. Students' feedback on learning challenges, psychological support and self‐regulation behaviours provided insights into their progress and experience with this technology. SRLbot's adaptability and personalized approach distinguished it from rule‐based chatbots. The findings offer valuable evidence for AI developers and educators to consider generative AI settings and chatbot design, facilitating greater success in online science learning.

Didactical Obstacles for Junior High School Students in Post-Pandemic Mathematics Learning

Face-to-face learning has been re-implemented by several schools after 2 years offline, and this has caused several obstacles when implementing it. Especially mathematics learning, which tends to require more effort to deliver material. Post-pandemic learning causes didactical obstacles to student and teacher learning during the teaching and learning process. So the purpose of this study is to analyze student barriers to post-pandemic learning. The research method used in this study is qualitative-descriptive, with data collection techniques such as survey methods, observation results, questionnaires, and interviews. The object of this study was 19 grade VIII–4 students and senior teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Cihampelas. This research uses several instruments for students, and the results can be analyzed for obstacles to the post-pandemic learning process. Based on the results of the study, it shows that post-pandemic learning barriers for Grade VIII–4 students are adaptation to a new environment; understanding the material is more difficult and ineffective because the learning process does not involve technology, conventional learning methods, psychological changes, or habits when online learning is still carried over so that it affects face-to-face learning, where students are not ready to get the next material due to the material they previously did not understand due to the lack of maximum understanding of students when learning online. Not only students, but teachers also have their own obstacles when learning after this pandemic, so teachers also need time to be able to adapt to face-to-face meetings that run according to mutual expectations.

A quantitative research of learning habits of secondary school students: An observational study in Dhaka Division

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the significant factors influencing the learning habits of secondary-level students. Research methodology: This study examined the learning habits of 120 students from 12 high schools in three categories throughout three surrounding cities in the Dhaka Division. This study used a descriptive survey research design. A Purposive sampling approach was applied to select three districts from the Dhaka division, and 12 secondary schools were selected from the three districts. These 120 respondents were chosen using a simple random sampling method belonging to classes 6–10 and ages 12–16. Results: The average age was 14.0 2.3 years. The majority of the students (39.2%, n = 47) came from families with limited income, and most of their mothers were not working (77.5%, n = 93). Furthermore, most students (39.2%, n = 47) were from poor-class families. Among the three factors influencing learning habits, two (gender and residence status) were statistically significant, but working mothers were statistically insignificant. Limitations: The results of this study may not accurately reflect the entire situation because data from only 120 students from three districts in the Dhaka division were collected. Contribution: There is no statistical relationship between study habits and students’ mothers’ job status. However, gender and residence had an important influence on students’ learning habits.

Construction and Analysis of a Resource Optimization and Allocation Model for Large-Scale Online Classrooms

Abstract Online classrooms are characterized by a large number of resources and a complex composition of student users, so how to mine the association between students’ learning habits, grades and other characteristics to achieve more effective resource provisioning and optimization. To achieve this objective, this paper proposes an Apriori classroom resource provisioning model that is optimized using the MPM algorithm. The model regards the data points as prime points, uses the MPM algorithm to track the trajectory of the prime points to avoid redundant polling, and then projects the data points onto the background grid, derives the derivation, and then projects it onto the data points to discover the correlation between the data and realize the effective allocation of classroom resources. According to the experimental findings, MPM-Apriori’s average BRPD and average RPD values are 0.32 and 3.33 when dealing with large-scale online classroom resource data, indicating improved optimality and stability. The average post-test mean score of each dimension of “Introduction to International Politics” is 0.378 points higher than the pre-test, and 66.6% of the indicators in the satisfaction survey on the effectiveness of classroom resource allocation have a satisfaction rate of more than 50%. It shows that the proposed online classroom resource allocation model has good application effects.
