Abstract

education, yet their integration in higher education remains underexplored, with most studies focusing on schools. This study aims to identify cultural and professional barriers hindering EBTP adoption among university lecturers through an autoethnographic approach. Using Flanagan's Critical Incident Technique (CIT) and personal journaling, longitudinal qualitative data were collected and analyzed within an interpretive framework. The findings reveal that deeply ingrained cultural capital and traditional professional practices significantly obstruct the adoption of EBTP, highlighting resistance to pedagogical innovation, peer learning, and student-centered teaching. These barriers emphasize the need for institutional reforms, professional development initiatives, and a cultural shift to foster evidence-based practices in higher education, contributing to bridging the gap between research and practice in pedagogy.

Abstract

In the domain of academic research, the ongoing discourse centers around the intersection between the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and some critical phenomena including early-career researchers’ challenges, the co-evolution of AI and research methodologies, continuous innovation, reorientation, and multi-modal advancement of various AI tools. Against this backdrop, Open AI’s GPT Search has just emerged as a versatility step towards its Chat GPT 4.0. The present perspective paper explores how this novel search engine can make broader paradigm shifts in traditional research approaches in literature search, data analysis, and writing discussions. Grounded in the authors’ scholarship, subjective insights (authorial experimental observations), critical appraisal of the extant literature, and experiential engagement, this paper perspectivizes that with its mediation and multi-modality functioning GPT Search promises to support conducting literature searches that are uniquely helpful for semantic relevance, large search syntaxes, and aggregated and index-specific results from multi-databases in one single search command. Additionally, GPT Search can also transform early-career researchers’ labor-intensive manual data analysis into automatic but more efficient qualitative data analysis. Furthermore, this search engine offers a reverse approach to writing discussions for articles and theses. The paper is the preliminary perspective that is supposed to trigger further empirical studies to advance the ongoing discourse around AI-integrated research with special attention to the novel research tool i.e., GPT Search

Abstract

Since the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (hence, Gen AI), a newly created discursive wave has been pushing for the integration of the novel, non-human tool as both an inevitable and universally desirable ontology of technology-integrated language education. However, noticeably, this superficial celebratory narrative often overlooks locally valued pedagogical ontologies where Gen AI may appear as culturally foreign, pedagogically misaligned, and technologically impractical. Positing it within this ontological potential, the present paper takes a critical view on the universalist assumption of Gen AI-driven EFL teaching. By applying the method of theoretical reflections, the paper then argues for a “pluriversal” perspective that acknowledges localized epistemologies, classical pedagogies, and human-centered teaching traditions. In doing so, the paper draws on the key concepts, including glocalism, digital divides, technological foreignness, the value of pluriversality, contextualism and cultural-philosophical relativism. By highlighting these concepts, the paper contends that there are some legitimate antecedents for which some global South contexts may resist or remain unprepared or reluctant about the integration of GenAI in EFL practices. The discussion in this paper underscores that GenAI cannot be a one-size-fits-all solution. Otherwise, GenAI tooling of EFL education in indigenous lands may be positioned as a conflicting paradigm threatening the classical, humanist, unique pedagogical rhythm. Therefore, the paper calls for a localized theorization of Gen AI-integrated EFL education.
