, loops, and functions. Additionally, itaddresses the need for improvements in course design, instructional effectiveness, and theinstructor’s professional growth. The study employs qualitative and quantitative data collectioninvolving two-course sections with a diverse group of students, engaging in 75-minute pairprogramming sessions where they alternate roles as driver (who writes the code) and navigator(who reviews and guides). The C programming language is used to facilitate collaboration andreal-world skill development. The unique aspect of this study is the structured reflection processapplied after each pair programming session. Students were asked to answer three questions: (1)what they learned, (2) what areas they needed more practice

There are various grading options, such as gradingonly the reflection or grading the homework lightly and the reflection more heavily.For the first submission, it is typical to have students submit just the answers to the homework.Often the feedback on the first submission consists of “light grading,” for completion or effort.The methodology relies upon instructors having a detailed solution set, with more extensiveexplanations than would normally be provided. Since homework problems can be reusedsemester after semester, the methodology can justify the extra effort on the part of the coursestaff.Across all

assignments,” which “is a serious risk.” The specific practice ofstudents who ”copy and paste writing assignments from AI chatbots like Chat GPT and hand it inas their own original work” was repeatedly highlighted as problematic. Many participants framedthese behaviors within ethical and institutional contexts, noting that such actions ”are not only inviolation of the school’s honor code, but also unethical and unfair to their peers.” Interestingly, acounterbalancing concern also emerged—that legitimate student work might be incorrectly flaggedas AI-generated, with one participant noting they had ”already seen...peers...who do produce workthat is entirely their own being falsely accused of submitting AI generated work.” Table 2

Portela employed four approaches to develop theinstructional plan, namely: BYOD, flipped classroom, gamification, and using the skills ofindividual students to solve posed problems. Tewolde presented a method for improving studentmotivation in a microcontroller-based embedded systems course to enhance students’ role inactive learning [10]. The method consists of three tools, namely: laboratory assignments forpractical hands-on activities, “peer teaching” techniques, and self-proposal, which enablesindividual creativity. For some complex and difficult to understand courses such as programmingalgorithms-related subjects, Garcia et al. [11] proposed a method in the form of

These videos were intended not as replacements for the lecture materials but ascomplementary resources to reinforce newly acquired knowledge for a deeper understanding.Further, they would serve as valuable review tools not only for students currently enrolled butalso for upperclassmen seeking to refresh their programming skills.

engineering (i.e. developing prompts to maximizeoutput accuracy), evaluation of AI responses, and ethical considerations [9-11].Due to its versatile nature, AI has the capacity to be used in nearly every academic discipline,similar to the use of the internet. However, AI may be most effective in fields where students arerequired to complete more ill-defined tasks such as writing lab reports or creative writing [1],[8]. Similarly, AI has been used in marketing and other business fields for content creation, salesoptimization, and for customer service chatbots [12-13]. In science education, the use of AI hasbeen shown to can boost students’ motivation and participation in learning exercises, but it haslimitations regarding complex subjects, and can

in which students learn about academic writing and out-of-classroom research with a professor. As a result, the program significantly prepared the student prior to joining a research group, helping eliminate his “fear” of research. Universities that have and encourage students to join such programs can strengthen the abilities of their students [3]. • Active recruitment by peers: The student was recruited into the lab by one of its undergraduate researchers. The researcher recognized their interest in computer vision and believed they would be a strong candidate to join. • Professor mentorship: Once accepted into the lab, the professor explained computer vision using one of the field's

Within the classroom, there are opportunities for advanced AI models to aid in theteaching enterprise (with faculty/department chair oversight). Furthermore, autonomous robotsmay play a role in services such as libraries, dining halls and facilities and operations.Within STEM disciplines, there are additional opportunities and challenges associated with usingAI tools [17]. Doors are opened to facilitate teaching and learning through simulations as well asin providing personalized tutoring/instruction.

In this definition they connect “fair conditions” with “individuals and groups” and thesuccess in whatever endeavor being evaluated (e.g., “specific metrics”), but clearly at the outcomeof the endeavor.A report calling for technology design to be more inclusive provides another take on thechallenges we face trying to understand equity and equality. In [12], equality is defined aseveryone having “the same opportunity” even if it affords some in the group “an existing (andoften unconscious) unfair advantage.” In contrast, equity means everyone getting an opportunitythat levels the “playing field with their peers” thus increasing the “fairness to compete.”In summary

Academic Integrity ViolationsThe vast majority of actionable academic integrity reports can be grouped into two categories; (1)using a cell phone or smartwatch during an exam or (2) bringing course material into the lab eitherin the form of a cheat sheet or written on their body. However, we have also seen other studentbehaviors develop which have required us to institute new exam policies. Restrictions regardingwhen students could begin writing on their scratch paper is a good example of a policy changethat occurred in response to student behavior. Until recently, students were allowed to write ontheir scratch paper as soon as they were seated in the lab, a policy based on the assumption thatonce in the lab any information that was written on the

A notable example is OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a large language model trained togenerate human-like text responses, assisting students and educators in various academic tasks,including writing, coding, and content summarization [4]. While several generative AI models,such as Google Bard and Anthropic's Claude, offer similar capabilities, ChatGPT is known for itswidespread adoption in educational contexts, its advanced natural language processingcapabilities, and its frequent integration into learning management systems and academicworkflows. These factors position ChatGPT as a leading AI tool in education, making it an idealcase for examining the

With millions of active users under age 13, Robloxprovides an engaging and immersive environment where children can explore virtual worlds,create games, and socialize with peers [2]. This platform has attracted significant attention fromboth educators and researchers for its potential as a learning tool. Studies have shown thatRoblox fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing children to experiment with gamedevelopment, storytelling, and design. Its user-friendly interface and wide range of gamesappeal to children, while its open-world nature allows for exploration and interaction within asafe, controlled environment.
