TL;DR
These findings challenge the “AI as a shortcut” narrative, demonstrating that pedagogically designed AI supports meaningful engagement with complex tasks without artificial grade inflation.
Abstract
This study evaluates the instructional impact of Teacher’s Bag, an instructor-designed,
context-aware custom GPT system, on pre-service teachers’ academic achievement.
Utilizing a course-embedded quasi-experimental design at a Turkish public university,
the research analyzed performance-based assessments in Curriculum Development and
Educational Research Methods courses. The system provided pedagogically constrained,
task-specific scaffolding aligned with national curricular objectives. Results revealed tasksensitive outcomes. In Curriculum Development, the AI functioned as a stabilizing scaffold,
maintaining performance despite significantly increased final task complexity. In Educational
Research Methods, the system enabled students to navigate a major transition from
quantitative to mixed-methods designs, though accompanied by lower mean scores reflecting
heightened cognitive demand. These findings challenge the “AI as a shortcut” narrative,
demonstrating that pedagogically designed AI supports meaningful engagement with complex
tasks without artificial grade inflation.
This paper describes the design and delivery of an elective one-semester course, AI for English Teachers (Course No. 22084), for third-year pre-service ESL teachers (PSTs) at Michlalah College Jerusalem, in Jerusalem, Israel. The course was built to address three goals: using GenAI platforms to develop academic researc...
Developing critical thinking skills (CTS) is a central goal of higher education, yet pre-service teachers often receive little explicit guidance on how to apply them in academic or professional writing. This study reports the design, implementation, and initial examination of IDEA, a purpose-built platform for technolo...

Science education currently faces significant challenges with student disengagement and poor academic performance, largely exacerbated by a reliance on traditional, teacher-centered instruction. Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) offers a proven, active-learning alternative to foster critical thinking. However, a critical ga...

It is suggested that structured technical and pedagogical AI literacy may support a shift from generalized concerns or uncertainty toward more informed and reflective engagement with AI, providing a useful foundation for the integration of AI literacy into teacher education frameworks.

Despite a substantial body of literature emphasizing the value of practitioner-led action research (AR) for professional growth and educational improvement, in-service teachers and education students (pre-service to postgraduate) consistently demonstrate low rates of independent research engagement. This paper argues t...

The transition to distance education requires learners to possess high levels of autonomy and self-regulated learning (SRL) capabilities. However, many distance learners struggle with time management, goal setting, and cognitive fatigue due to physical isolation and the absence of real-time instructional pacing. While...
