Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Lecture-Based Learning (LBL) in enhancing students’ ability to implement machine learning models. While both teaching methodologies are widely used, the impact of PBL on practical machine learning skills has not been sufficiently explored. This study investigates whether a hands-on, project-based approach leads to better performance in real-world machine learning applications compared to a traditional lecture-based approach. This experimental study involved 60 undergraduate students from a machine learning course, randomly divided into two groups: PBL and LBL. The PBL group worked on real-world machine learning projects, while the LBL group followed traditional lectures and individual assignments. Data were collected using pre- and post-test questionnaires, project performance rubrics, and observational notes. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the two groups’ performance on machine learning tasks. The results revealed that the PBL group outperformed the LBL group in model accuracy, code quality, problem-solving, and debugging skills. The PBL group also demonstrated greater motivation and engagement, with statistically significant differences in performance (p = 0.001 for model optimization and p = 0.027 for problem-solving). The LBL group showed improvements, but the gains were less substantial. The findings suggest that PBL is more effective for developing practical skills in machine learning. However, the study's limitations include a small sample size and short duration, which may limit the generalizability of the results. This study provides novel insights into the benefits of PBL in machine learning education, offering valuable implications for curriculum design. Future research could explore long-term outcomes and the potential of hybrid teaching methods that combine PBL and LBL

Abstract

This study aims to examine students’ acceptance of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in academic tasks using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The rapid integration of Generative AI tools in higher education raises important questions regarding the determinants of students’ behavioral intention and actual usage. This study argues that performance-related perceptions are the primary drivers of adoption. Design/methods/approach – A quantitative explanatory design was employed using a survey of 210 undergraduate students who had experience using Generative AI for academic purposes. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Measurement evaluation included outer loadings, Cronbach’s Alpha, Composite Reliability, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE), while structural relationships were tested using bootstrapping with 5000 resamples. Findings – Performance Expectancy significantly influenced Behavioral Intention (β = 0.41, p < 0.001), followed by Effort Expectancy (β = 0.27, p < 0.001) and Social Influence (β = 0.18, p = 0.003). Behavioral Intention strongly affected Use Behavior (β = 0.53, p < 0.001), and Facilitating Conditions also had a significant direct effect (β = 0.29, p < 0.001). The model explained 62% of the variance in Behavioral Intention and 58% in Use Behavior. Research implications/limitations – The study was limited to a single institution and relied on self-reported cross-sectional data, which may restrict generalizability and causal inference. Originality/value – This study extends UTAUT to the context of Generative AI in academic assignments and provides empirical evidence of its predictive power in emerging AI-based educational technologies.
