This week I would like to share a recent SoTL article entitled, “ Impact and Opportunities of Generative AI in Education: A Study of Academic Perceptions ” by Sevilla-Bernardo, Cervera and Martin-Robles (2025). This study explores how professors perceive and adopt generative AI (GAI) within their teaching practices. Conducted in Spain, the research analyzed the attitudes of 71 professors toward the benefits and barriers of integrating GAI into higher education classrooms. The

This week I would like to present a SoTL from the Canadian Journal of Learning and Tech entitled " Artificial Intelligence and University Education: Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends and Perspectives " by Elharbaoui and Ntebutse (2025) ( https://cjlt.ca/index.php/cjlt/article/view/28788/21210  ). The authors conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 285 peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and March 2024 that explore the integration of AI in higher ed

In addition to the focus on teaching and learning, there are other attributes that can affect student success. With this in mind, I would like to share this recent article entitled, “ Psychological impacts of AI use on school students: A systematic scoping review of the empirical literature ” by Kundu and Bej (2025). The authors conducted a systematic scoping review to explore how these technologies influence students’ psychological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral devel

As many of us continue to identify ways in which we might be able to integrate AI in a meaningful way, I would like to share this recent SoTL article entitled, “ Enhancing Students’ Authentic Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills and Confidence Through Error Analysis of GPT-4 Solutions ” by Lin, et al. (2025) ( https://rptel.apsce.net/index.php/RPTEL/article/view/2025-20034/2025-20034  ).  The authors conducted a quasi-experimental study exploring how error analysis of GPT-4-ge

This week I would like to share a recent SoTL article entitled, “ How Higher-Order Thinking Shapes Student Attitudes Toward Machine Learning and AI Chatbots ” by Pellas (2025). The author explores how cognitive skills, specifically creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving mediate or moderate the relationship between academic achievement and attitudes toward machine learning. Drawing on data from 416 undergraduate students, the research offers one of the most empiric

I began sharing just-in-time summaries of teaching research articles (SoTL) on October 15, 2016 (time flies)! During those nine years, I tried not to share research that I have been part of, but this week I would like to offer a paper that came out this week. The article is entitled “ Generative AI for Higher Education: Practical Example to Support Faculty in Creating an Engaging Learning Environment ”  by Al-Shawwa, Hargis, Qi, & Grewell (2025). In this paper, we argue that,
