The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on College Students’ Learning Strategies, Information Literacy and English Proficiency: A Study in China | Chapter 12 | Crisis, AI and the Future of Higher Education

 

This empirical study examines the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on college students’ English language learning, focusing on the interactions between learning strategies, information literacy and English proficiency. This study collected survey data from 256 college students in Jiangsu Province, China. It used structural equation modelling to examine the direct and indirect effects of learning strategies on English proficiency. The study pinpoints the AI tools frequently utilised by students to facilitate English learning, such as Baidu Translate, Youdao Dictionary, Baicizhan, Shanbay, Bubei, Maimemo, ChatGPT, Liulishuo, Itest, BBC Learning English, Zhixue, Qtyy, Hellotalk, and Callannie, and explores how these tools are incorporated into the students’ learning process. The results of the study show that AI greatly improves students’ English proficiency by improving learning strategies and information literacy. By leveraging AI technologies and optimising learning methods, educational stakeholders can create more effective and inclusive learning environments. This study provides educators and curriculum designers with some insights and practical guidance on how to integrate AI into language learning programs to improve students’ English performance.

Information Literacy for Undergraduate Physics | Book Publisher International

Information literacy is an essential competence for the contemporary information society. The 21st century puts forward new requirements for students’ education and learning. This book reviewed the definition of information literacy and information literacy standards in various countries, and combs the evaluation and research of information literacy by scholars from various countries. Based on the theoretical research of information literacy and information literacy education, we designed a questionnaire for undergraduates' information literacy, and grasped the information literacy status of science and engineering students through the questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire survey, the book analyzes the characteristics of information literacy of science and engineering students and the problems existing in information literacy education. The results demonstrate that the undergraduates’ level of information literacy is on the intermediate. The undergraduate education of physics is mainly to lay a foundation for professionals engaged in the research and teaching of frontier issues in physics and related disciplines, and also to cultivate compound and comprehensive talents who can apply physics to various fields of technology and society. Based on the teaching of physics undergraduate course, the book expounds how to effectively implement information literacy education in undergraduate physics teaching.
