Abstract

As artificial intelligence increasingly permeates higher education systems worldwide, developing students' ethical awareness has become essential for responsible AI implementation. This study seeks to examine the connections between technical understanding, applied knowledge, and critical appraisal in shaping ethical awareness within the context of AI literacy. The study utilizes a quantitative method, applying Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to data gathered from 322 university students. The findings indicate that technical understanding has a direct favorable influence of 0.180 on ethical awareness, while applied knowledge demonstrates a stronger impact of 0.467. Critical appraisal serves as a significant complementary partial mediator, with indirect path coefficients of 0.083 for technical understanding and 0.155 for applied knowledge, strengthening their relationships with ethical awareness. This study concludes that AI literacy educational programs should not only emphasize technical and applied knowledge but also foster critical appraisal skills to promote ethical AI usage.

Abstract

The urgency to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy into primary education in Indonesia is driven by the increasing presence of AI technologies in everyday life and the nation’s strategic vision to prepare a future-ready workforce. However, current teaching practices remain largely behavioristic and content-driven, lacking the pedagogical depth needed to foster conceptual understanding and ethical engagement with AI. This study addresses this gap by investigating how deep-learning pedagogies—approaches that pursue deep learning as a goal through active, reflective, and collaborative experiences— can be used to improve AI literacy among fifth-grade students. Grounded in design-based research (DBR), the study implemented and refined the Associative Model of AI Literacy (AMAIL), a framework integrating cognitive constructivism, social constructivism, constructionism, and transformative learning theories. The intervention spanned five cycles in three public schools in Salatiga, involving 118 students. Learning outcomes were assessed using pre- and post-tests and student reflections, with analysis conducted through bootstrap methods and Exact McNemar’s tests. Findings showed statistically significant improvements in students’ ability to recognize AI, explain its logic, and reflect on its ethical implications. The study demonstrates how deep-learning approaches, when applied iteratively and contextually, can foster not only technical understanding but also critical and ethical AI literacy in primary education. These findings can inform educators and government stakeholders in designing and implementing pedagogical strategies that support comprehensive AI literacy development at the primary level

Abstract

education, yet many students face challenges in adapting to its demands. This study explores factors influencing students’ readiness for collaborative online learning, focusing on prior knowledge, motivation, technological proficiency, and learning preferences. A mixed-methods approach was used to collect quantitative data from 45 students, which were analyzed using SEM-PLS, along with qualitative insights from focus group discussions. Results identified prior knowledge as the strongest predictor of readiness (B = 0.670, p = 0.001), enhancing cognitive engagement and motivation. Motivation influenced learning preferences (B = 0.482, p = 0.009) but did not directly impact readiness. Technological proficiency moderately predicted readiness (B = 0.353, p = 0.057), while learning preferences were nonsignificant (B = 0.218, p = 0.421). Qualitative findings emphasized the role of peer collaboration, intrinsic motivation, and digital skill disparities. The study highlights the need for scaffolding prior knowledge, fostering motivation through structured tasks, improving digital skills, and offering strategies for creating inclusive and effective collaborative online learning environments.

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
