Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The potential role of ChatGPT in education, from educational chatbots to language learning and even educational assessment, has been highlighted in the recent literature. ChatGPT has been used to develop a chatbot that can support students in inquiry-based learning activities, providing personalized feedback and support (Liao et al., 2021); for instance, it has been used to develop a language learning platform that allows students to practice their speaking and writing skills with a virtual tutor (Yuan et al., 2021). In the realm of assessment, ChatGPT has also shown promise as a tool for automated essay grading and feedback (Yannakakis et al., 2021).
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the topic of "Theories and Practices of ChatGPT in Education". The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research on this topic, and for researchers and practitioners who wish to showcase their latest findings on this promising tool for education.
We invite original research articles and reviews that offer theoretical perspectives on the use of ChatGPT in education, as well as empirical research on its effectiveness in educational settings. We also welcome papers that discuss the technical aspects of ChatGPT, including natural language processing and machine learning, as well as ethical considerations of its use.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following themes:
- Theoretical perspectives on the use of ChatGPT in education;
- Empirical research on the effectiveness of ChatGPT in educational settings;
- Design and development of ChatGPT-based educational interventions;
- Technical aspects of ChatGPT, including natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence;
- Ethical considerations of the use of ChatGPT in education;
- Future directions for research on ChatGPT and education.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field. The submission deadline is 31 Oct. 2023.
Thank you for your interest in this Special Issue; we look forward to receiving your contributions.
