Abstract The question of how generative AI tools, such as large language models and chatbots, can be leveraged ethically effectively in education is ongoing. Given the critical role that writing plays learning assessment within educational institutions, it growing importance for educators to make thoughtful informed decisions what capacity tools should assist development students’ skills. This paper reports on two longitudinal studies. Study 1 examined outcomes 48 university English a new (ENL) learners six-week long repeated measures quasi experimental design where group received feedback generated from ChatGPT (GPT-4) control their human tutor. 2 analyzed perceptions different 43 ENLs who both Results study showed no difference between groups. results revealed near even split preference AI-generated or human-generated feedback, with clear advantages forms apparent data. main implication these studies use likely incorporated into ENL essay evaluation without affecting outcomes, although we recommend blended approach utilizes strengths feedback. contribution this addressing an automatic evaluator while incorporating learner perspectives.

The invention of ChatGPT and generative AI technologies presents educators with significant challenges, as concerns arise regarding students potentially exploiting these tools unethically, misrepresenting their work, or gaining academic merits without active participation in the learning process. To effectively navigate this shift, it is crucial to embrace a contemporary educational trend establish pedagogical principles for properly utilizing emerging like promote self-regulation. Rather than suppressing AI-driven tools, should foster collaborations among stakeholders, including educators, instructional designers, researchers, developers. This paper proposes three key integrating chatbots classrooms, informed by Zimmerman’s Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) framework Judgment (JOL). We argue that current conceptualization education inadequate, so we advocate incorporation goal setting (prompting), self-assessment feedback, personalization essential principles. First, propose teaching prompting important developing students’ SRL. Second, configuring reverse chatbot’s capability will help guide SRL monitoring understanding. Third, data-driven mechanism enables an chatbot provide analytics helps learners reflect on develop strategies. By bringing JOL, aim guidelines implementing contexts, focus promoting self-regulation higher through AI-assisted pedagogy design.

Artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly advancing. As part of this development, large language models (LLMs) increasingly being used when humans interact with systems based on artificial (AI), posing both new opportunities and challenges. When interacting LLM-based AI system in a goal-directed manner, prompt engineering has evolved as skill formulating precise well-structured instructions to elicit desired responses or information from the LLM, optimizing effectiveness interaction. However, research perspectives non-experts using through how literacy affects prompting behavior is lacking. This aspect particularly important considering implications LLMs context higher education. In present study, we address issue, introduce skill-based approach engineering, explicitly consider role non-experts' (students) their skills. We also provide qualitative insights into students' intuitive behaviors towards systems. The results show that higher-quality skills predict quality LLM output, suggesting indeed required for use generative tools. addition, certain aspects can play targeted adaptation within We, therefore, argue integration educational content current curricula enable hybrid intelligent society which students effectively tools such ChatGPT.
