Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies, particularly tools like ChatGPT and other large language models, has catalyzed unprecedented transformations in educational landscapes worldwide. This technological shift fundamentally reshapes how knowledge is created, shared, and assessed across all educational levels. This Special Issue explores the multifaceted impact of GenAI on teaching, learning, and educational systems, from K-12 through higher education and professional development.
This Special Issue aims to examine the promising opportunities these technologies present, such as personalized learning experiences and automated feedback systems, alongside the critical challenges educators, students, and institutions face. These challenges include ensuring integrity, developing GenAI literacy, and addressing equity and ethical concerns in GenAI implementation.
We seek research contributions that focus on K-12, higher education, and professional development. We would like to include perspectives from multiple stakeholders, such as students, faculty members, administrators, policymakers, and national and international educational agencies and institutions. We encourage contributions that are theoretical or empirical in nature, encompassing qualitative and quantitative research. Interdisciplinarity is highly encouraged.
