- Benefits and Ethical Implications of Using Generative AI in PhD Students' Research ActivitiesPublication . Gonçalves, Bruno F.Higher education is going through a phase of constant transformation, especially in the use of generative AI by its students from the most varied study cycles. This has brought several benefits, but also ethical implications, particularly in research activities. Thus, with the development of the research we intend to obtain answers to the following research question: What are the benefits and ethical implications of using generative AI in the research activities of doctoral students? To answer this question, we conducted exploratory and descriptive research, as we explored the use of AI and described its impact on the research activities of doctoral students at a university in Mozambique. As a data collection tool, we applied a questionnaire survey to all the students in the two postgraduate courses at the respective university. A total of 117 students from both courses responded to the study, 61 of which were validated, which shows that the response rate was more than half, at 52.16% of the total sample. The results show that there are several benefits, but also ethical implications that must be considered in the research activities of doctoral students and which are crucial to guarantee the quality, transparency, and fairness of the teaching-learning process.
- Can the Digital Skills of Higher Education Students Improve as They Progress Through Their Studies?Publication . Patrício, Maria Raquel; Gonçalves, Bruno F.; Gonçalves, VítorIn recent years, there has been growing concern within the academic and scientific communities regarding the digital skills of teachers. However, it is our belief that the digital skills of students have been somewhat overlooked. We assert that it is not sufficient for teachers to possess digital skills in various areas; it is equally vital for students to develop and enhance their digital skills. This is essential for ensuring that the learning process is innovative, dynamic, and reflective of reality. Consequently, there has been a need to explore the digital skills of students in higher education. This article aims to present the findings of a questionnaire survey assessing the level of digital competence of students at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Portugal). The questionnaire was adapted from the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp 2.2). The results were analyzed based on the students’ level of study (Higher Professional Technical Course, Bachelor’s Degree, and Master’s Degree) and their level of digital proficiency (basic, intermediate, advanced, and highly specialized) to identify differences and similarities among the students. The results indicate that students at all three academic levels generally perceive themselves to possess an intermediate level of digital proficiency. Therefore, it is essential that students improve their digital skills to reach the highest level of digital proficiency.
