This paper serves to study the influences of career commitment and workload on job satisfaction among academics in higher education. We investigated whether a supportive environment is a significant moderator between workload and job satisfaction. For this cross-sectional study, the stratified random sampling method yielded 191 academics from five research universities in Malaysia. Partial least squares- structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) showed that high levels of career commitment correspond with high levels of satisfaction at work of academics. Also, a greater workload diminishes job satisfaction among academics. The analysis of the interaction-moderation dynamics showed that a supportive environment reduces workload effects on academics’ job satisfaction. This study contributes to confirming the important roles of career commitment and workload in predicting job satisfaction. It also expands literature on the buffering role of a supportive environment in the interaction between workload and job satisfaction among academics.

The development of the literature on teacher leadership in the academic realm has been exponential, but the quest for more leadership knowledge seems to be inexhaustible. The purpose of this paper is to analyze teachers’ perceptions with respect to their leadership abilities. Email interviews were conducted with nine teachers from two primary and two secondary schools to obtain their views regarding teacher leadership, whilst affording them opportunities to make suggestions for collaborative teacher leadership development. Having employed a phenomenological approach and thematic analysis as method, this paper proposes a collaborative teacher leadership development framework (CTLDF). Significant about the CTLDF is that teacher leaders should consider ausgang as a way of opening the door for collaboration, homo economicus as a collaborative act and parrhesia as autonomy towards collaborative teacher leadership. The findings reveal that teacher leaders should cultivate a readiness to create opportunities for collaborative leadership development. The study recommends that teacher leaders should first have to be cognizant about their own individual strengths, whilst slowly starting initiatives to collaborate in order to sustain improvements in teacher leadership practices.

This article shares the critical reflections of a teacher educator who utilised digital stories as a teaching strategy in a professional development module for final-year pre-service teachers. Action research, through a participatory narrative inquiry approach, was employed, and data were gathered from digital stories, scripts, and reflective essays. The findings suggest that a platform was created for students to collaboratively share their perceptions, beliefs, and memories regarding teaching as a profession and to reflect on the impact that this lived experience had on their developing professional identity and ideas of good practice. Suggestions are made for recognising autobiographical stories as essential to all facets of teacher education and for acknowledging the influence of the apprenticeship of observation on individual pre-service teachers and on teacher-training programme curriculums.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it aims to identify the challenges and barriers experienced in implementing problem-based Learning (PBL) in a language program at Sultan Qaboos University in the Sultanate of Oman. Second, it proposes a working model for integrating PBL into an existing program. The research was conducted using a case study approach underpinned by design-based research principles. The proposed model came as a result of tracing the development of the program over a period of seven years with a total of 14 instructors and 2800 students. The model consists of a number of elements which include the use of hybridizing courses, the careful scaffolding of teachers and students, and the development of a PBL culture of collaboration and interdependence. Each of these elements is described from a process perspective, detailing how we attempted to implement them and how they reacted to challenges along the way. Even though the model was designed for a specific language learning and teaching context, it can be adapted to suit local needs. The model is unique in that it creatively integrates the relevant PBL and linguistic aspects that are often missing in PBL designs but are essential for a successful implementation. The skills training and the scaffolding that the model proposes can offer one means of working around rigid institutional and curricula requirements that often face PBL adoption. It is hoped that the model may support future implementations of successful PBL.

Leaders of high schools in the context of the fourth industrial revolution face many challenges and new opportunities. Schools need to become smarter, more flexible, and more secure, and, therefore, the principal’s leadership competencies are likely to have new elements and be affected by new influencing factors. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence the competencies of school leadership in today’s increasingly smarter school landscape. Research was conducted using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research sample consisted of 295 high school principals from five provinces and cities in Vietnam. The results showed that smart school leadership competencies depend on individual factors, school-level factors, and educational community-level factors. Smart school development policy and innovation of smart school infrastructure and facilities were identified as the most important factors.
The sudden shift from physical classroom education towards emergency remote teaching (ERT) in higher education during the unprecedented global pandemic caused an abrupt change in the learning environment for students and educators alike. The disruptive overnight change and conversion of entire courses to emergency remote teaching caused concern for not only educators, but also students that had little time to adapt to the new circumstances. While the embedment of technologies in the classroom is not a new concept, this quantitative research expands a case study that sought to examine the perceived satisfaction of undergraduate students with the emerging paradigm of ERT. Responses based on empirical data (n=450) as well as secondary data (n=219) were analyzed to conclude that, in particular, younger freshmen students struggled more with online emergency remote teaching than their older peers. Furthermore, the study identified numerous similarities between both data samples. The current research informs educators about student perceptions and preferences during these extraordinary circumstances of uncertain duration. Furthermore, the paper concludes with recommendations that aim to provide institutions and educators with practical guidance on how to tackle the outlined issues.
Globally, it is a standard practice to study students’ academic writing by using linear academic-writing models. This study investigated instances of Deleuzian rhizomatic patterns in students’ writing and in online student interactions at an open and distance elearning (ODeL) institution in South Africa. A convenience sample of 13 students’ paragraph writing samples and of 370 first-year students was used. All the participants were enrolled in a level-one module, ENG1503, in the second semester of 2020. The study followed a mixedmethod approach, and utilized AntConc and AntMover to analyse the students’ writing samples, as well as Microsoft Power Business Intelligence (MS Power BI) and Gephi, in order to analyse and visualise online student interactions. When students’ writing samples were analysed in terms of keywords (e.g., key themes) by using the software applications employed in this study, various rhizomatic patterns were detected in the students’ text files. For example, the key-word frequencies of key themes, such as religion and cult, showed that these two key themes were used differently at the end of each concordance spectrum, thereby underscoring their varying rhizomatic patterns of usage in students’ respective text files. Online student interactions on both myUnisa’s ODF and MS Teams were visualized rhizomatically. The findings of this study underscore the importance of investigating and analysing students’ writing – not only from linear models, but also from non-linear perspectives, such as a rhizomatic approach. Additionally, they underline the significance of leveraging the opportunities offered by students’ writing analysis technologies, such as those employed in this study.
As many universities transitioned to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, the distance learning environment presented various accessibility challenges for deaf and hard-of-hearing students (DHH). In art and design higher education programs, the transition from face-to-face learning to virtual learning is difficult for students in general, and even more difficult for students with hearing loss. Art and design educators have explored approaches to effectively compensate for these challenges and optimize the distance learning experiences for DHH students. This paper aims to investigate these challenges and attempts to explore the international best practices in distance education for deaf learners. Action research is used as a methodology to guide the professional development of art and design educators on ways to refine and hone their online teaching approaches. Ten DHH students (5 Males and 5 females) participated in the action research for the needs of this study. Their challenges, experiences, preferences, needs and artworks were analysed in an attempt to optimize their online learning outcomes and provide recommendations that will lead to the implementation of effective teaching strategies and the design of appropriate e-learning environments for hearing-impaired art and design students. The preliminary findings of the study revealed that the main challenges DHH students and their instructors faced were communication barriers and misinterpretation of tasks, which led to difficulties in fulfilling the course intended outcomes. The recommendations formulated on the basis of the findings are to adapt the intended learning outcomes and teaching approaches to optimize the learning experiences of the DHH students.

The development of the literature on teacher leadership in the academic realm has been exponential, but the quest for more leadership knowledge seems to be inexhaustible. The purpose of this paper is to analyze teachers’ perceptions with respect to their leadership abilities. Email interviews were conducted with nine teachers from two primary and two secondary schools to obtain their views regarding teacher leadership, whilst affording them opportunities to make suggestions for collaborative teacher leadership development. Having employed a phenomenological approach and thematic analysis as method, this paper proposes a collaborative teacher leadership development framework (CTLDF). Significant about the CTLDF is that teacher leaders should consider ausgang as a way of opening the door for collaboration, homo economicus as a collaborative act and parrhesia as autonomy towards collaborative teacher leadership. The findings reveal that teacher leaders should cultivate a readiness to create opportunities for collaborative leadership development. The study recommends that teacher leaders should first have to be cognizant about their own individual strengths, whilst slowly starting initiatives to collaborate in order to sustain improvements in teacher leadership practices.

This article shares the critical reflections of a teacher educator who utilised digital stories as a teaching strategy in a professional development module for final-year pre-service teachers. Action research, through a participatory narrative inquiry approach, was employed, and data were gathered from digital stories, scripts, and reflective essays. The findings suggest that a platform was created for students to collaboratively share their perceptions, beliefs, and memories regarding teaching as a profession and to reflect on the impact that this lived experience had on their developing professional identity and ideas of good practice. Suggestions are made for recognising autobiographical stories as essential to all facets of teacher education and for acknowledging the influence of the apprenticeship of observation on individual pre-service teachers and on teacher-training programme curriculums.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it aims to identify the challenges and barriers experienced in implementing problem-based Learning (PBL) in a language program at Sultan Qaboos University in the Sultanate of Oman. Second, it proposes a working model for integrating PBL into an existing program. The research was conducted using a case study approach underpinned by design-based research principles. The proposed model came as a result of tracing the development of the program over a period of seven years with a total of 14 instructors and 2800 students. The model consists of a number of elements which include the use of hybridizing courses, the careful scaffolding of teachers and students, and the development of a PBL culture of collaboration and interdependence. Each of these elements is described from a process perspective, detailing how we attempted to implement them and how they reacted to challenges along the way. Even though the model was designed for a specific language learning and teaching context, it can be adapted to suit local needs. The model is unique in that it creatively integrates the relevant PBL and linguistic aspects that are often missing in PBL designs but are essential for a successful implementation. The skills training and the scaffolding that the model proposes can offer one means of working around rigid institutional and curricula requirements that often face PBL adoption. It is hoped that the model may support future implementations of successful PBL.

Leaders of high schools in the context of the fourth industrial revolution face many challenges and new opportunities. Schools need to become smarter, more flexible, and more secure, and, therefore, the principal’s leadership competencies are likely to have new elements and be affected by new influencing factors. The aim of this study was to identify the factors that influence the competencies of school leadership in today’s increasingly smarter school landscape. Research was conducted using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research sample consisted of 295 high school principals from five provinces and cities in Vietnam. The results showed that smart school leadership competencies depend on individual factors, school-level factors, and educational community-level factors. Smart school development policy and innovation of smart school infrastructure and facilities were identified as the most important factors.
The sudden shift from physical classroom education towards emergency remote teaching (ERT) in higher education during the unprecedented global pandemic caused an abrupt change in the learning environment for students and educators alike. The disruptive overnight change and conversion of entire courses to emergency remote teaching caused concern for not only educators, but also students that had little time to adapt to the new circumstances. While the embedment of technologies in the classroom is not a new concept, this quantitative research expands a case study that sought to examine the perceived satisfaction of undergraduate students with the emerging paradigm of ERT. Responses based on empirical data (n=450) as well as secondary data (n=219) were analyzed to conclude that, in particular, younger freshmen students struggled more with online emergency remote teaching than their older peers. Furthermore, the study identified numerous similarities between both data samples. The current research informs educators about student perceptions and preferences during these extraordinary circumstances of uncertain duration. Furthermore, the paper concludes with recommendations that aim to provide institutions and educators with practical guidance on how to tackle the outlined issues.
Globally, it is a standard practice to study students’ academic writing by using linear academic-writing models. This study investigated instances of Deleuzian rhizomatic patterns in students’ writing and in online student interactions at an open and distance elearning (ODeL) institution in South Africa. A convenience sample of 13 students’ paragraph writing samples and of 370 first-year students was used. All the participants were enrolled in a level-one module, ENG1503, in the second semester of 2020. The study followed a mixedmethod approach, and utilized AntConc and AntMover to analyse the students’ writing samples, as well as Microsoft Power Business Intelligence (MS Power BI) and Gephi, in order to analyse and visualise online student interactions. When students’ writing samples were analysed in terms of keywords (e.g., key themes) by using the software applications employed in this study, various rhizomatic patterns were detected in the students’ text files. For example, the key-word frequencies of key themes, such as religion and cult, showed that these two key themes were used differently at the end of each concordance spectrum, thereby underscoring their varying rhizomatic patterns of usage in students’ respective text files. Online student interactions on both myUnisa’s ODF and MS Teams were visualized rhizomatically. The findings of this study underscore the importance of investigating and analysing students’ writing – not only from linear models, but also from non-linear perspectives, such as a rhizomatic approach. Additionally, they underline the significance of leveraging the opportunities offered by students’ writing analysis technologies, such as those employed in this study.
As many universities transitioned to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, the distance learning environment presented various accessibility challenges for deaf and hard-of-hearing students (DHH). In art and design higher education programs, the transition from face-to-face learning to virtual learning is difficult for students in general, and even more difficult for students with hearing loss. Art and design educators have explored approaches to effectively compensate for these challenges and optimize the distance learning experiences for DHH students. This paper aims to investigate these challenges and attempts to explore the international best practices in distance education for deaf learners. Action research is used as a methodology to guide the professional development of art and design educators on ways to refine and hone their online teaching approaches. Ten DHH students (5 Males and 5 females) participated in the action research for the needs of this study. Their challenges, experiences, preferences, needs and artworks were analysed in an attempt to optimize their online learning outcomes and provide recommendations that will lead to the implementation of effective teaching strategies and the design of appropriate e-learning environments for hearing-impaired art and design students. The preliminary findings of the study revealed that the main challenges DHH students and their instructors faced were communication barriers and misinterpretation of tasks, which led to difficulties in fulfilling the course intended outcomes. The recommendations formulated on the basis of the findings are to adapt the intended learning outcomes and teaching approaches to optimize the learning experiences of the DHH students.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Introduction
The 20th century information revolution has heightened the need for students to
develop adaptive thinking skills. Art education involves experimentation with
different materials, media and resources, and requires specific instructional
techniques to shape thinking skills. The Saudi Ministry of Education’s education
policy document has highlighted the importance of providing students with the
knowledge, skills, and constructive behaviors to prepare the students to be part
of the economic and cultural progress and prosperity of society (Al-Wadey & Al-
Ajmi, 2022).
To teach students the skills required to develop new ideas, new teaching strategies
need to be researched, such as experimentation with materials, and mind
mapping (Purtee, 2015). Among these strategies is the SCAMPER model,
developed for artistic expression and composition using raw materials. It is
celebrated as an educational tool that enhances awareness, leadership, fluency,
flexibility, and originality. The word “SCAMPER” is an acronym where each
letter represents a different way to change the properties of a structure or system,
physically or metaphorically, to form new relationships. The SCAMPER model
comprises the following elements, namely substitute, combine, adapt, modify or
magnify, eliminate or minify, put to another use, and reverse or rearrange (Serrat,
2017). Using this model, learners can generate new ideas through playing with,
and synthesizing materials. This activity develops productive thinking, also noted
in the problem-solving model proposed by Guilford (1964). This model consists
of a succession of processes interacting with items stored in the memory with the
aim of enhancing cognitive faculties (Barakat, 2022).
Several studies have shown how the SCAMPER technique can be used to develop
the higher mental faculties of the artistically gifted and to prepare programs that
satisfy their needs (Mahmoud, 2017). In his 2022 study, Abbas suggested
establishing educational institutes for handicrafts training and called for a study
on the role of artistic works in improving the imaginative abilities of middle
school students. Cohen (2012) proposed a study linking creative adaptation in
childhood with the type of creativity observed in adults. The global education
index confirms that education must facilitate the development of crucial skills
such as critical thinking and problem-solving using talented teachers to guide
students to acquire the crucial skills they will need in the future (Walton, 2017).
Thinking is an approach to learning and problem-solving where thinking
represents a set of applicable abilities that are implemented in teaching in
structured frameworks that refine ideas, which help in improving the learning
processes and the advancement of students. Productive thinking is also a scientific
method that combines creative thinking skills with critical thinking to solve
problems. Combining creative thinking with critical thinking can be employed to
maximize achievement and reach practical results (Hurson, 2008).
The term "twice exceptional (2e)" refers to people who are bright or skilled in one
or more categories yet have a handicap, disorder, or difficulties in others. Because
giftedness and handicap are addressed simultaneously, this scenario has made
9. 3
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
the definition and acceptance of the term problematic (Şentürk et al., 2022).
Students who are 2e are extraordinarily skilled in one or more areas such as
academic ability, creativity, leadership, and visual arts, coupled with problems in
other areas such as reading, writing, and arithmetic (Yenioğlu et al., 2022).
Klingner (2022) suggests that the biggest obstacles confronting 2e students are
misunderstanding and misdiagnosis. They are frequently reprimanded,
underchallenged, and left behind, which underlines the need to better understand
them. Students may be eligible for special education services as a result of their
handicap under the 2004 federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act (IDEIA). Once students qualify for IDEIA services, they are
entitled to free and appropriate public education (Bell, 2020).
Although 2e students are gradually receiving more recognition and intervention,
they are still a grossly underserved segment of the school population, and
educators still lack effective methods for identifying and supporting them
(Kircher-Morris, 2021).
"A Call to Action: Identification and Intervention for 2e Students" begins
with basic information about 2e students who are both gifted and talented
and who also have LD and provides strategies for how educators can
identify these students. It is imperative that classroom teachers provide
intervention to address this exception since these students often score at
grade level on standardized tests, with the giftedness score lowered by the
learning disability and raised by the giftedness, resulting in neither this
exception nor the other being addressed because they do not qualify for
either of the special services (Sosland, 2022).
This study applies the SCAMPER technique to the field of art to develop technical
excellence and creative and critical thinking skills among students with 2e. Using
the SCAMPER technique can enhance critical thinking in 2e students, enabling
them to analyze and evaluate various artistic ideas and concepts and apply them
to their art. This also promotes comprehensive learning by developing higher-
order thinking skills (analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and application) for artistic
work. This study contributes to developing 2e students’ creative and critical
thinking skills in the field of arts and supporting ongoing academic achievement.
Productive thinking skills are considered one of the basic aspects of developing
creativity and innovation in the field of the arts. The problem of the study
emerged through the workshops conducted by the researchers of the current
study which aimed to conduct a group of practical applications in the field of raw
material synthesis to produce some artistic works for 2e students. The researchers
noticed the need for these students to improve their artistic production skills in
the field of raw material synthesis. They found in their art work a stereotype in
the design and production of the artistic product, in line with the recognized
standards in the field of artistic production. Therefore, 2e students face difficulty
developing these skills due to the unique challenges they face, which is what
Feldhusen emphasized in 1997. He suggested four areas that must be nurtured
among gifted students, including the field of artistic creativity and the field of the
10. 4
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
arts, because these students have latent abilities that need to be developed in
proportion to their strengths.
In this study, the SCAMPER technique was selected as a suitable technique for
developing creative and productive thinking. The technique motivates students
to generate new ideas and develop them through the use of six different
techniques: substitution, adaptation, modification, composition, challenge, and
synthesis. However, there are not many studies that focus on using the SCAMPER
technique to develop 2e students' productive thinking skills in artwork. Therefore,
this study aims to answer the following four questions:
Q1. Are there statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of gifted
students with ASD in the pre- and post-tests on the PTSRAW?
Q.2. Are there statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of gifted
students with LD in the pre- and post-tests on the PTSRAW?
Q.3. Are there statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of gifted
students with ADHD in the pre- and post-tests on the PTSRAW?
Q.4. Are there statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the
three study groups in the post-test on the PTSRAW?
2. Literature Review
2.1. SCAMPER and Thinking
First introduced by López-Mesaa (2011), the SCAMPER technique uses a series of
questions directed to learners to encourage the processes of productive thinking
and creativity. It is also an educational tool that promotes awareness, leadership,
fluency, flexibility, and originality (Serrat, 2017). It can be used as a simple
problem-solving technique, a brainstorming tool, or as a stand-alone technique to
help generate new and unfamiliar ideas (Loop, 2021). SCAMPER uses questions
as subframes in addition to various stimuli to promote divergent thinking by
answering the questions that the student raises and the variables that SCAMPER
symbolizes (Ozyaprak, 2016; Serrat, 2017). Each letter of SCAMPER refers to a
specific thought process, where (S) indicates alternatively, the formation of ideas,
(C) denoting fusion which refers to the combination of different ideas or materials
and multiple techniques, and (A) for adaptation which depends on the response
of the trainee in modifying a living organism or its parts, making it more suitable
for existence under the conditions of the environment. Creative adaptation is the
ability to adapt flexibly to circumstances by introducing (M) modifications or
improvements to develop new ideas or products (Cohen, 2012). It is also possible
to “minify” reduce, change shape, or modify attributes. There is also (P), put to
other uses; (E), delete or simplify an element; and (R), rearrange (Sabri & Al-
Ruwaithi, 2013). Therefore, it can be said that SCAMPER questions are consistent
with Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive critical thinking skills, as identified by
Anderson and Krathwohl (2011) in terms of Remembering, Analysis, Evaluation,
and Composition.
2.2. Productive Thinking
The concept of productive thinking was first proposed in the early 1930s by
German psychologist Otto Selz and was expanded by Canadian author Tim
Hurson, who proposed a structured approach to problem-solving or idea
generation that combines knowledge with creative and critical thinking
11. 5
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
(AlleyDog, 2023). Hurson (2008) defined productive thinking as a pattern of
thinking that combines critical thinking skills and creative thinking and employs
them together to produce new ideas in which sensory perception interacts with
experience. Herein lies its importance in the educational process because it
combines more than one type of thinking. This helps in better understanding the
cognitive content and linking its elements to each other (Razzouqi et al., 2016). In
research conducted in 1967, Taylor recognized productive thinking as one of nine
capabilities considered essential (Al-Jughaiman, 2023). It is also a psychological
process of learning how to absorb problems and determine the method of
solution. Through feeling the need to achieve a goal, work can be done to reach
the desired situation (Auernhammer & Roth, 2022).
2.2.1. Creative thinking
Creativity is valuable in education because it relies on deep knowledge and the
ability to use it effectively to achieve valuable results. It is often developed as a
competency and skill within educational frameworks. Moreover, education
moves from acquiring knowledge to developing competencies (Patston, 2021).
Some definitions of creativity have been formulated as any act, idea, or product
that changes or transforms an existing field into a new field (Franken, 2023).
Hurson (2008) confirmed that creativity is an indispensable element in solving
problems. He devised a model of productive thinking that consists of stages.
Questions are asked at each to emphasize the various aspects of the problem in
order to reach a better understanding of the solution (Kumar, 2021). The model is
represented by six steps in the form of questions: "What's going on?" "What is
success?" and "What is the question?" Generate the answers, create the solution,
and align the resources (Stormz, 2023). The Torrance Scale of Creative Thinking
includes three main skills: fluency, flexibility, and originality (Al-Atoum et al.,
2009).
Flexibility is one of the cognitive processes that shapes creativity and enhances
productive thinking in which the individual is quick to adapt and respond to
change without affecting the original goal and is able to move freely from one
process to another with the freedom to choose different vehicles or media. Fluency
is a flow of expression in producing a number of ideas (Caldwell & Dake, 2009).
The field of arts is a fertile land for developing thinking skills. True fluency lies in
the quality of creative expression and the ability to build intricate connections and
meanings (Matney, 2014). Originality is one of the skills most associated with
creativity and refers to the ability to produce the largest number of unique
responses (Al-Mashrafi, 2005). Ozyaprak (2016) indicates that creativity can be
developed by focusing on general creativity theories such as lateral thinking,
creative problem-solving, and productive thinking, as well as some strategies and
creative thinking techniques such as brainstorming.
2.2.2. Critical thinking
Critical thinking is accurate thinking directed toward a goal, and its components
have been adopted as educational goals on the basis of respecting the autonomy
of students (Hitchcock, 2022). Mixing creativity and critical thinking is necessary
for productive thinking in the field of artistic works because of its ability to
12. 6
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
facilitate reaching high-quality creative solutions based on the synthesis of raw
materials. According to the Critical Thinking Subcommittee for AoL Learning
Goal looking at Bloom's classification of critical thinking in 1956, students apply
previous knowledge and skills creatively or differently to produce something
new. The value of materials is based on personal values and opinions, which
ultimately leads to a new product (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001; Hirakubo, 2022).
Therefore, it is a disciplined process of conceptualization that works by applying
mental actions such as analysis, synthesis observation, experience, thinking, and
inference (Foundation for Critical Thinking [FCT], 2023). Hitchcock (2022)
identified other critical thinking processes, such as experimentation, counseling,
judgment, and decision-making. It is logical thinking that works to restore its
process, or evaluative thinking that works to restore its goal (Rusbult, 2021). When
students engage in synthesis in the field of artistic works, they practice logical
thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving as well as divergent thinking
and convergent thinking, which makes them develop their thinking, as pointed
out by Razzouqi et al. (2016) This reshapes ideas in different formulations through
free thought, allowing the student internal insight to accommodate unfamiliar
situations. According to Sun et al. (2020), implementing a training program on
divergent thinking improves school students’ scientific creativity.
Through the above, it can be concluded that critical thinking depends on the three
principles of autonomy, self-awareness, and learning.
2.2.3. Productive thinking skills
Productive thinking skills can be defined as fluency, flexibility, originality,
problem analysis, expansion or detail, imagination, and production (Ali &
Ibrahim, 2018; Al-Quraiti, 2019; Mustafa, 2013).

Figure 1: The SCAMPER model and productive thinking in the field of handicrafts
2.2.4 Handicrafts
Handicrafts have their own nature, as part of the process of artistic creativity and
its various components. They require a type of cognitive representation with the
ability to find non-stereotypical plastic and aesthetic solutions through
manipulating raw materials. Handicrafts are considered one of the artistic
formation systems that are the focus of expression and the basic foundation for
producing artistic work. It is a field that actively involves the student, building
their knowledge and experience through solving real problems in their interaction
with the material through research and experimentation (Ali et al., 2022). It is one
of the axes of creativity based on diverse experiences of forming multiple
materials and the organization of units in the process of creating the artwork (Al-
Essa, 2021). The student reshapes, reassembles, adds, or deletes from the
materials, using various experiences, information, and skills to adapt these
materials to their needs. These are the requirements of a creative attitude (Dewey,
2008).
In creative expression, synthesis endeavors to achieve compatibility and harmony
among different raw elements, where the combined ingredients improve the
artwork (Al-Deeb, 2020). As a result, synthesis necessitates a thorough grasp of
the foundations of artistic creation as well as the capacity to manipulate and
modify the material. The learner reformulates these technical and creative

experiences through experimental practices that employ new methodologies
based on the situation (Ali et al., 2022). Synthesis is classified into three types:
gluing, mounting, and assembling (Al-Shammari, 2019).
Techniques in art production: These are the methods, industrial assets, skills, and
processes required to change raw materials into an artwork. Technique is also
considered the fourth element of the four elements of artistic production (raw
materials, subject, and expression). It is the gateway to practical applications in
various fields related to intellectual construction (Ali, 2022). Technique also
includes synthesis. There are frequent preferences for the raw materials utilized
and the suitable technique in the field of synthesis using raw materials. The
student chooses the best way to express themselves (Shahat et al., 2023).
Experimentation: Artistic vision is considered the source of experimentation and
one of the cognitive processes that connects the activities of thinking, perception,
and feeling. It is a process that combines logical and divergent thinking as the
experience in art is different from scientific experimentation in the vocabulary of
the creative process and the nature of the product (Barakat, 2021). It also combines
methods to achieve compatibility and harmony among different materials in the
structure of artistic creativity (Shahat et al., 2023). It is a scientific procedure that
depends on proving a cognitive fact. Experimentation also helps expand the
student's perspective as a creator because as they freely experiment, they are freed
from seriousness and the demand for perfection (Hayes, 2022).

2.3. Twice Exceptional
The term "twice exceptional" was first coined by Gallagher in 2004 to describe
uniquely gifted students who have a talent and at the same time have a disability.
Other terms have been used, such as "dual exceptionality,” “gifted with
disabilities/difficulties," "paradoxical learners," and "gifted handicapped." Some
descriptions specify the disability–gifted with "LD," "autistic savant," and the like
Substitute: Brainstorming can be used.
Is it possible to replace one material with another?
Example: replacing burlap with cloth. What are the
variables resulting from this change?
Is it possible to use experimental entries (breaking -
reducing – producing - synthesis)?
Example: Destruction in the sense of going outside the
known range of the material’s formal appearance, for
example deleting some palm fronds and the resulting
formal effects.
Is it possible to enrich the surface of the work piece with
some sense values resulting from the use of Fabric
Integration Technique?
Combine: A group of different materials are chosen
to be combined with each other to produce a work of
art.
How can different materials with formal
characteristics and multiple plastic potentials, be
collected in the structure of a single artistic object?
Example: burlap, palm raw material waste, “palm
leaves, palm fronds, palm fibres” and some other
materials that can be used and add to the product in a
positive way, “for example, threads and the variety of
sizes.”
What technical treatments are supposed to be used
to form these ores?
Here it is necessary to focus. The student uses
meditation in order to see the mental image of what
these raw materials will be like together, and in it a
good knowledge is formed for the student.
Example: There are multiple techniques with
multiple materials. Each material has multiple shaping
methods. The student must choose from some
technical techniques that suit the structure of the
artistic product. Example: Burlap can be used with the
technique of splicing, folding and folding, using
overlapping layers and other techniques.
Reverse & rearrange: We aim here to
rearrange and explore the plastic potential of
the materials and material components of
the artistic work, in order to reach
innovative plastic formulations and
expressive values.
Can the elements be arranged in another
way? What elements can be replaced?
What elements can be kept, moved or
dispensed?
Put to another use: The student is asked to imagine
and find new functional uses for the elements used in
the structure of the artistic work, by asking a set of
questions. How can these elements be employed in
another way? What are the other uses for these
materials? Are there other ways these ores and elements
can be formed?
Modify & Magnify: In which the student
uses the cognitive processes that
contribute to creative thinking, exercises
the freedom of flow of ideas, and the
flexibility of thinking. Is it possible to
develop and find different design
formulations for the artistic work?
Are there better technical treatments
than those used? In addition, what if the
sizes and color spaces were changed in the
structure of the artwork and
manipulated?
Artistic
work
Eliminate & minify: Can an element of the substances
used be excluded? What can be deleted and simplified
and what does it have to do with the overall structure
of the artwork?
An example of deleting or removing part of the
background is a product, whether forward or
backward, so that you can break the classic rules of the
art structure and how does that affect the product?
Adaptation: At this stage, a fantasy is emerging, which
is rebuilding reality in a new way.
Is it possible to rearrange the materials and the
elements of the artwork to bring about some kind of
harmony and harmony between the materials through
the various synthesis processes?
What elements can be used to bring about harmony
and harmony among disparate raw materials?

(Al-Jughaiman, 2022; Şentürk et al., 2022). Students with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) who are gifted are commonly referred to as 2e students (Cain et
al., 2019). There is significant disagreement in the literature on the prevalence of
2e (Ronksley-Pavia, 2020). Gierczyk and Hornby (2021) established that 2e
students might be taught well in inclusive education settings if they have access
to suitable special education and gifted education methodologies and programs.
Therefore, because governments anticipate numbers when formulating education
policy and providing budgetary support, it is critical to quantify the number of 2e
students as accurately as possible.
Foley-Nicpon and Teriba (2022) point out that regulations for 2e students exist in
just a few states across the USA and suggest 2e policies be revised to include best
practices to identify 2e students, such as interventions using universal screening
methods linked to curriculum, and developing gifted individualized education
plans in conjunction with IEPs. These ideas detail not only how to provide
services for one's condition but also how to cultivate potential in 2e students.
Amran and Majid (2019) reviewed 44 studies on 2e therapies conducted between
2000 and 2018, independent of disability area. The findings are organized into five
major topics, beginning with the most commonly utilized in research, academic
or learning methods, and continuing with support, strength or talent-based,
technology or music, and art. Grigorenko (2020) showed that there is a growing
interest in the phenomenon of 2e students in the performing arts. In a research
study conducted in 1997, Feldhusen presented a model for identifying and
developing talents, which he called "talent identification and development in
education," where he regards talent as a general ability based on genetic
predisposition with added life experiences represented by home and school. He
proposed four areas that must be nurtured by the school providing appropriate
care for students with talent, namely (a) the field of artistic creativity: movement,
music, drawing, sculpture, and photography; (b) the field of academic excellence:
science, mathematics, language, social studies, and computers; (c) the field of
social relations: leadership, social welfare, commerce, and human services; and
(d) the field of art: home economics, trade and industry, industrial arts,
agriculture, and business administration. In 2005, Feldhusen also believed that
abilities in general are often latent and are preparations of other various abilities,
and the school's primary mission is to stimulate and develop these preparations
in accordance with students’ strengths (Al-Jughaiman, 2022).
Al-Haj Issa (2007) believed that research into the gifted with LD can be
categorized in three axes: case studies, comparative studies between the
experimental performance of the gifted with LD and their number, and studies
that dealt with the effectiveness of the available educational programs. Some of
these studies examined the compensatory strategies and self-regulatory strategies
that these students use to succeed in school. Al-Suwait (2014) highlighted the
effectiveness of a training program based on the Schwartz model for developing
critical thinking skills among gifted students with LD in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia. The results showed that the training program had an impact on the
development of critical thinking skills for gifted students with LD.

http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
Mahmoud (2019) investigated the effectiveness of a program based on the Six
Thinking Hats to develop leadership behavior in gifted students with LD. Gerges
et al. (2020) looked at differences in executive function (working memory,
planning, problem-solving, and verbal fluency) between gifted children with
ADHD and their non-gifted counterparts. The results revealed that there were no
statistically significant differences.
Salem et al. (2021) built an integrative model of emotional creativity among gifted
students with LD. They identified negative emotional characteristics that can be
modified: low self-concept, low self-esteem, perfectionism, a sense of inferiority,
and the consequent turbulent emotional behaviors, with the aim of integrating the
prescriptive theories. The different levels of emotional creativity and its sub-skills
and the results indicated the arrival of a proposed integrative model for the
development of emotional creativity through a number of procedural steps aimed
at developing emotional creativity among gifted students with LD.
Gaber (2022) showed that attitudes toward creativity may play a critical role in
the development of creative talents in children with ASD, highlighting the need
to investigate attitudes toward creativity. The study assessed the efficacy of a
training program to develop attitudes about creativity, encouraging the
production of a diverse range of ideas about talent, marked by freshness and
originality. These ideas should be practical and beneficial, as well as well received
in the community in which these gifted children live. Gaber suggests that the
required resources and finances be made available to help gifted youngsters with
ASD realize their gifts, and research on giftedness and ASD should be increased.
Qomawy and Melhem (2022) assessed the positive impact and potential of a
training program on developing awareness of the gifted with ASD in families, and
enhancing their attitudes toward caring for them. The program is part of a series
about awareness and care for gifted students with ASD.
3. Methodology
3.1. Study design and participants
Given that the study is an experiment aimed at verifying the effectiveness of the
SCAMPER strategy to develop productive thinking skills in the field of artistic
works among 2e students, the researchers used a quasi-experimental approach.
The study measures the effect of the independent variable on the dependent
variable. The independent variable is the training program, which is based on the
SCAMPER strategy. On the other hand, the dependent variable is establishing
productive thinking skills in the field of artistic works in the three study groups.
The study population consisted of all 2e students in Al-Ahsa in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia (214 males and 57 females), diagnosed as gifted, and having ASD,
LD, or ADHD. The study sample consisted of 35 males, aged 8–12 years, with 2e
students gifted in artistic vision but lacking productive thinking skills. They were
chosen intentionally and divided into three groups randomly. The three groups
were equivalent of each other in terms of the degree of disorder and age as
follows: (gifted students with ASD = 9 students, mean = 9.87, standard
deviation±1.51), (gifted students with LD = 15 students, mean = 10, standard
deviation±1.46), and (gifted students with ADHD = 11 students, mean = 9.93,
18. 12
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
standard deviation±1.33). A one-sample experimental design (pre-post) was
chosen to verify the effect of the SCAMPER technique on developing productive
thinking skills in the field of artistic works in the three groups. This experiment
was implemented in the third semester of the 2022-2023 academic year after
obtaining scientific research ethics approval from the Deanship of Scientific
Research at King Faisal University.
3.2. Productive Thinking Scale
This scale measures a productive thinking skills in 2e students. The scale in its
final form consists of 12 statements measured on a Likert type scale: Applies = 3,
Applies to some extent = 2, and Does not apply = 1. Thus the maximum score on
the scale is 36, the average is 24, and the lowest score is 12. A score higher than
average indicates that the student possesses good productive thinking skills,
while a lower score indicates a deficit in productive thinking.
To verify the validity of the scale, the internal consistency of the scale was used
where the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.521 to 0.776. The stability of the
scale was also verified using the Trumpet Alpha coefficient until the reliability
coefficient in this way reached 0.702.
3.3. Training Program
A training program was created to develop the productive thinking skills of
students with 2e in the field of artistic works and provide them with the skills of
synthesis and experimentation with materials.
The goal of the program was to provide exceptional students with raw materials
and allow them to choose appropriate technical treatments. They were
encouraged to adapt ideas aligned with the nature of the product and employ
various experimental approaches as required by the product. This enabled
students to benefit from previous experience and generate ideas to solve problems
which enhanced their proficiency. The program is based on the SCAMPER model,
which consists of seven steps. Each step has a set of questions that help 2e
students develop productive thinking skills in the field of artistic works, recall
relevant knowledge, and gain the ability to reorganize the elements of an artistic
work.
The validity of the program was confirmed by presenting it to a group of
arbitrators in the field of artistic works, and the proposals and recommendations
of the arbitrators were taken into account. The program was implemented in six
stages, with each stage consisting of a group of sessions. Each session had its own
objectives and appropriate teaching strategies. Table 1 shows the stages and
strategies for implementing the training program to develop productive thinking
skills among 2e students.

3.4. Data analysis
The researchers conducted statistical analysis using SPSS version 26. The
Wilcoxon test was used to indicate the difference between the paired samples in
the pre- and post-tests. An analysis of variance was also conducted using the
Kruskal-Wallis test to indicate the differences between the means ranks for the
three experimental groups in the post-tests.

5. Discussion
The results indicate that the SCAMPER technique promotes productive thinking
and enhances creative and critical thinking in 2e students (students with LD,
ADHD, and ASD). It teaches them divergent thinking and creative problem-
solving. Moreover, it strengthens design flexibility and fluency in technical
treatments related to the synthesis of materials in the field of handicrafts.
The students with LD outperformed the students with ADHD and ASD in
improving productive, critical and creative thinking in artistic works.
The results are consistent with the Özyaprak (2016) study, which found that the
SCAMPER technique supports cognitive skills in terms of gathering information,
flexible thinking, originality, and problem-solving. It also confirms the findings of
Mahmoud (2017) on the necessity to develop gifted students’ higher mental skills.
The 2e students were encouraged to practice productive thinking in the field of
artistic works using understanding, interpretation, analysis, and synthesis.
22. 16
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
Decision-making regarding the material, synthesis processes, and experimental
approaches requires logical reasoning skills to deal with the varied characteristics
of the materials. This requires fluency of thought and flexibility to arrive at novel
solutions for plastic treatments of the material. Ali and Ibrahim (2018) showed that
the SCAMPER technique can develop productive thinking skills in educational
media. The SCAMPER technique allowed the participants to think consciously
about material combinations using experimental approaches, developing
imagination and planning, and translating ideas into tangible products.
Therefore, using the SCAMPER technique is useful and important (Hamza 2017;
Naji 2017) It develops students’ creative imagination, and teaches them the skills
of generating ideas, improving productive thinking skills, and developing
curiosity and risk-taking. Moreover, the self-concept is enhanced when divergent
thinking improves the ability to benefit from previous experiences in novel
situations by utilizing creative approaches.
The results of the current study are also consistent with previous studies in that it
is possible to improve 2e students’ attitudes toward creativity, art, and other types
of thinking (Al-Suwait, 2014; Grigorenko, 2020; Salem et al., 2021; Gaber, 2022;
Qomawy & Melhem, 2022).
It is believed that the SCAMPER model is an organized thinking strategy process
that enhances the ability of outstanding 2e students to use their imagination to
create new designs by using materials to construct artworks through the processes
of experimentation, deletion, addition, rearrangement, merging, consolidation,
and synthesis. The researchers posit that the reason the LD students obtained
higher grades than those from the other two groups was because they explored
experimental processes and were able to acquire cognitive and technical skills
related to shaping materials. There were some obstacles among students with
ADHD, namely attention deficit, motivation, and hyperactivity, as well as ASD,
which are characterized by deficiencies in communication skills, and by
stereotypical behavior, and difficulty in breaking routine. The group of students
with ADHD also outperformed the ASD group in productive thinking skills in the
field of artistic works, which is possibly owing to the fact that students with ASD
show fewer responses in artistic production processes and have lower productive
critical, and creative skills, in addition to not having positive communication skills
to convey their opinions on artistic production processes to their peers.
6. Limitations
Despite the positive results of the study, the researchers faced a number of
challenges. The study population in Al-Ahsa is small; therefore, the sample was
chosen intentionally, which limits the generalizability of the study. Also, with
respect to the size of the population, had it been larger, the standardization of the
instrument would have been more accurate and thus more reliable and effective
in assessing changes in productive thinking skills. Moreover, there was a lack of
the optimal level of resources such as time, money, technical materials, and space
for training and implementation. For instance, a reasonable period must be
allocated to develop productive thinking skills in the field of artistic works,
23. 17
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
especially in using the SCAMPER technique. Finally, individual differences,
attitudes, and different learning styles are a number of possible confounding
variables that could have affected the outcome measures of the study.
7. Conclusions and Recommendations
In conclusion, using the SCAMPER technique to develop productive thinking
skills in the field of artistic works is an effective tool for 2e students. The study
found that using this model helps students develop their creative abilities and
critical and analytical thinking when producing unique and innovative works of
art. The study also found that using the SCAMPER technique helps students
develop their skills in planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating, which
contributes to enhancing their mental and creative abilities in the field of arts. One
positive aspect of strengthening productive thinking skills for 2e students is that it
promotes active and interactive learning and encourages students to collaborate,
think creatively, and innovate in producing unique works of art. In conclusion, it
can be said that using the SCAMPER technique is a powerful tool for developing
productive thinking skills in the field of artwork for 2e students.
Further research is recommended to broaden understanding of the benefits of this
strategy and its application in other fields of education and the arts. It is suggested
that a study be conducted using the SCAMPER technique for developing the
creative thinking skills of 2e students in artwork. In addition, the use of the
SCAMPER technique to develop creative and analytical thinking skills among 2e
students in digital arts and graphic design is recommended. More studies are also
recommended to improve the understanding of the benefits of the SCAMPER
strategy and its use in various fields of education and the arts, such as gifted
education, special education, and art education.

1. Introduction
Currently, there is a shift from manual learning management towards digital; one
of the real manifestations is the emergence of ChatGPT as an artificial intelligence
product that is utilized in learning. During 2022-2023 several researchers
worldwide have explored digital learning management across disciplines using
ChatGPT artificial intelligence in education and learning. These studies included
the integration of management and digital technology for Indonesia's educational
progress (Sumarno, 2023), learning management systems in learning assessment
for operations management courses (Strakos et al., 2023), integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) ChatGPT in university students in Thailand (Fuchs & Aguilos,
2023), a survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of teachers in the
Philippines, using ChatGPT (Robledo et al., 2023), and the views of higher
education stakeholders regarding the ethics of using AI in distance learning
(Holmes et al., 2023). While research on the topic of digital learning management
using artificial intelligence ChatGPT with systematic literature review (SLR)
techniques and similar ones found research on the implementation of AI for
health care with SLR (Loh et al., 2022), AI in machine learning with a bibliometric
review (Shamima et al., 2022), a systematic review of artificial intelligence in
midwifery and nursing (Siobhán O’Connor et al., 2022), bibliometric and content
analysis in online learning in management education (Ng et al., 2023), a systematic
review of digital learning theories with e-Learning for nursing and midwifery
courses (Siobhan O’Connor et al., 2023), review and taxonomy of ChatGPT in
healthcare (Jianning Li et al., 2023), review and taxonomy of ChatGPT in
healthcare (Prananta et al., 2023), impact of ChatGPT implementation for students
with SLR techniques (Renato et al., 2023), use of ChatGPT in software companies
with an initial systematic literature review (Pattyn, 2023), SLR on Chatbot
implications for customer satisfaction (Daza et al., 2023), research on visualization
and AI trends over the past decade (Prahani et al., 2023), research into the impact
of ChatGPT use in education using systematic review techniques (Montenegro-
Rueda et al., 2023), and SLR on ethics in learning using ChatGPT (Vargas-Murillo
et al., 2023). Among these studies, no research has been found on digital learning
management using OpenAI ChatGPT in education with SLR techniques.
Therefore, research on the topic is needed in order to reveal the concept, use and
impact of digital learning management using OpenAI ChatGPT in education with
SLR techniques.
It is quite surprising that ChatGPT continues to be popular and is even predicted
to beat the Google company. Since its launch in 2022, the number of ChatGPT
users worldwide has continued to rise. In January 2023 there were 616 million
users; in February 2023, 1 billion; and by August 2023, there were 1.8 billion
ChatGPT users (Korkmaz et al., 2023; Koc et al., 2023; Skjuve et al., 2023). This
caused concern among global scholars and scientists that the emergence of
ChatGPT might exceed the swiftness of lecturers' intelligence and responses, due
to the features of ChatGPT being more diverse. In addition to presenting
information quickly and accurately, ChatGPT offers writing services, providing
science literature, creating academic texts and non-academic texts to coding,
making this type of AI more popular as the number of users increases (Haman &
Školník, 2023). This phenomenon eventually might usurp the scientific authority
29. 23
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
of scholars, scientists, lecturers, teachers, educators, or mentors in transforming
information into knowledge. Scientists fear this phenomenon because it marks
academics' "death of expertise", as it becomes captured by technological products
and artificial intelligence (Nichols, 2017; Pulliam, 2017). The reality, however, is
that not all scholars and institutions worldwide share this concern, because
ChatGPT is used as a means, tool, and medium that foster learning across
disciplines from elementary school to university levels (Strzelecki, 2023; Firaina &
Sulisworo, 2023). This indicates that using ChatGPT in education is still being
debated. The reality, however, is that educated learners, teachers, students, and
lecturers in higher education use ChatGPT for learning purposes.
The debate about using ChatGPT and not using it is ongoing, as indicated by
several reports, such as research examining the controversy over the use of
ChatGPT in academic publications (Curtis, 2023), educational disruption due to
using ChatGPT in nursing education (Castonguay et al., 2023), the potential of
ChatGPT to replace teachers and human language, and the ethical implications of
implementing machine-learning systems in text production (Risang & Mukarto,
2023), the friends and foes controversy in the use of ChatGPT among corpus
language experts (Lin, 2023), and research on the movement away from ChatGPT
in structured learning (Khaddage & Flintoff, 2023). These controversies need to be
examined on a broader scale by tracing recent research on digital learning
management using ChatGPT in education.
The research reported here was aimed at exploring the current literature related
to the concept, use, and impact of using OpenAI ChatGPT, specifically on the
following;
1) What does the concept digital learning management using OpenAI ChatGPT
mean?
2) How is OpenAI ChatGPT used in education?
3) What is the impact of using OpenAI ChatGPT in education?
2. Literature Review
2.1 Digital Learning Management
Digital learning management is a series of activities in the process of planning,
implementing, and assessing or evaluating digital-based learning to make
learning successful through approaches, models, media, techniques, and digital-
based learning tools, which usually are developed in the form of a Learning
Management System (LMS) (Unwin et al., 2010; Dampson et al., 2020; Turnbull et
al., 2020; Abdullah & Omar, 2022). Digital learning management is the
management of learning with technology and digital platforms that teachers must
use in this digital era, from planning and implementation right through to
evaluation. Educators must be able to redesign subjects well to be taught with
digital technology because the one who organizes is not the principal but the
educator himself (Rizal et al., 2021; Ratten, 2023). This scope of digital learning
management leads to the use of digital technology, tools, and AI that are planned,
implemented, and evaluated by educationists to make learning successful.
30. 24
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
In this context, the development of AI is very rapid, including the emergence of
Artificial Intelligence Internet of Things (AIoT), which integrates the
intercommunity of several systems and networks through intelligent objects into
the study of digital learning management (Seng et al., 2022). AI or AIoT is more
about transferring data and knowledge through data-based computing, storage,
and transmission effectively and efficiently (Guo et al., 2022). The scope of digital
learning is abundant by utilizing many tools and ICTs, such as big data, the
Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, AI, and the like (Joey Li et al., 2022). In the
context of this research, the meaning of digital learning management is limited to
OpenAI ChatGPT in education and learning, which examines the concept,
features, and impact of using ChatGPT.
2.2 AI and ChatGPT in Education
AI in education is a digital technology system designed with computer systems
that resemble human intelligence capabilities and can be used to assist students
and teachers in learning (Pan & Zhang, 2023). AI provides innovation in online
learning that must be balanced with teacher technical skills, teacher instruction,
gamification, and ethical use (Uunona & Goosen, 2023). AI is an AI product that
can be applied in education and learning practices, such as AI Chatbots, ChatGPT,
and others (Gaber et al., 2023). The types of AI developing in the world vary, but
the most popular is the Generative Pre-training Transformer (ChatGPT), an AI
with a chatbot format (Pari-Bedoya et al., 2023).
ChatGPT is used for various purposes, from finding information, writing, and
drafting academic papers to learning. ChatGPT was released on 30 November
2022, and underwent many revisions until its stable version was made available
by OpenAI, a company affiliated with Microsoft Corp, on 24 May, 2023 (Van Dis
et al., 2023). The use of ChatGPT has expanded with the complex needs of the
academic community. In addition to information-seeking activities, ChatGPT
assists in writing and editing scientific articles, improving writing skills, linguistic
assistance, self-study, doing assignments, answering problems and questions in
teacher assignments, and others. However, ChatGPT has the disadvantage of not
replacing the teacher's position (Chan & Tsi, 2023; Grassini, 2023). Chat, or chat
conducted through ChatGPT with a robotic system, will not replace the teacher as
a human being and a profession that educates students using reason, mind,
feelings, and conscience (Ibda, Syamsi, et al., 2023; Ausat et al., 2023). In this
research, the meaning of OpenAI ChatGPT is limited to the concept, its use, and
a focus from the perspective of digital learning management.
3. Methodology
3.1. Research Design
For this research on digital learning management using OpenAI ChatGPT the
SLR method was applied, adopting the Kitchenham model to uncover findings,
studies, and an analysis of the concept of digital learning management using
OpenAI ChatGPT (Kitchenham, 2007; Ma’arif et al., 2023). The SLR stage starts
with identifying updated published literature compatible with digital learning
management using OpenAI ChatGPT in terms of concept, usage, and impact on
Scopus databases. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and
31. 25
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) technique was used to assist the SLR procedure
through identification, screening, testing eligibility, and inclusion of data, after
which analysis was carried out and the findings are presented in descriptive form
(see Ibda, Al-Hakim et al., 2023). The stages of identification, screening, eligibility,
and inclusion of the findings of recent articles indexed by Scopus refer to the
PRISMA technique.
3.2 Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria for Selection of Publications
Researchers determined eight criteria for the selection of articles (see Tantowi et
al., 2023). (i) The articles were peer-reviewed scientific articles. Literature findings
in papers, book chapters, conference proceedings, research reports, books,
dissertations, and theses were not used. (ii) The articles were indexed on Scopus
databases. (iii) The articles were available on digital learning management
systems by using OpenAI ChatGPT. (iv) Articles werelimited to publications
dated 2022-2023. (v) Articles were in English. (vi) For article searches we only used
the Publish or Perish 7 application. (vii) The literature used comprised complete
PDFs. (viii) The articles used, all were published in open-access journals.
3.3 Screening and Eligibility Assessment for Data Analysis
At this stage, on October 10, 2023, researchers screened literature findings from
Scopus through the Publish or Perish 7 application. Article screening was based on
the title-abstract-keyword aspect. Different keywords determined the keywords
for the search; this was done to select sufficient articles. The search findings of the
Scopus database rendered 2,852 published articles for 2022-2023. The details are
provided in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Findings of articles from the Scopus database
Keyword Quantity
1 Learning management 200 articles
2 Digital learning management 200 articles
3 Digital learning management in education 200 articles
4 Digital learning management using artificial intelligence 200 articles
5 ChatGPT 200 articles
6 ChatGPT in education 200 articles
7 Using ChatGPT 200 articles
8 Impact of using ChatGPT 200 articles
9 Learning with ChatGPT 200 articles
10 ChatGPT system 200 articles
11 ChatGPT management 147 articles
12 ChatGPT feature 78 articles
13 Artificial intelligence 200 articles
14 Artificial intelligence in education 200 articles
15 Artificial intelligence ChatGPT 200 articles
Quantity 2.852 articles
The findings from the search of 2,852 articles (see Table 1) were not all selected
and reviewed. However, the same articles were not used, and in the next step, the
final stage, 51 articles were selected and entered into the Mendeley application
version 1.19.8, and then saved in the form of RIS. In order to map the initial
32. 26
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
network of theme relevance, the RIS file from the Mendeley application was
entered into the VOSviewer, application version 1.6.18. A number of steps need
to be followed in entering the RIS file into a VOSviewer:
i. Prepare the RIS file.
ii. Create a map based on bibliographic data.
iii. Read data from the reference manager file.
iv. Select a file from a folder on the PC.
v. Choose the type of analysis and counting method, namely the type
of analysis: co-occurrence, unit of analysis, keywords, and counting
method: complete counting.
vi. Verify selected keywords.
vii.Finalize and present.
Based on the results of the initial analysis of thematic associations, the theme of
digital learning management using AI ChatGPT has a very complex association
pattern (see Figure 1) in terms of the network visualization below.
Figure 1. Initial network visualization
Figure 1 shows that the study of digital learning management using OpenAI
ChatGPT is closely related to a number of themes such as ChatGPT, digital learning
management, artificial intelligence, AI, ChatGPT in education, chatbot, OpenAI
ChatGPT, generative AI, Open AI, GPT-4, education, ethics, learning, NLP, and
applications in education. Some keywords that have a distant connection to the
theme of the study are AI academic implementation, applications of chemistry,
communication/writing, AI Chatbots, Covid-19, digital technology, environment,
disability, authentication, collaborative learning, artificial intelligence in education,
security, and critical thinking, etc.
3.4 PRISMA Flow Diagram
The PRISMA flowchart is applied in the article search process through four
schemes, namely identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion, which can be
seen in Figure 2 below.
33. 27
http://ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter
Figure 2: PRISMA Flow Diagram for Systematic Review (Topouzelis et al., 2021).
At the identification stage, 2,852 Scopus-indexed articles were found with the help
of the Publish or Perish 7 application (see Table 1). At the screening stage, the
articles were checked for similarity according to keywords, and 2,557 similar
articles were found, and the remaining 295 articles were selected. Determination
of similarity does not refer to databases; the search here only uses Scopus
databases, so the determination of similarity was reviewed from the keywords
used. From the screening stage, 135 irrelevant articles were discarded, and 160
articles were selected to be used in the next stage. At the eligibility stage, 85
articles were selected for full-text reading, while 75 articles were discarded. From
the articles included, 51 articles were selected from the 85 articles with reference
to research questions in terms of title-abstract-keywords and article substance,
while the remaining 34 articles were not used.
In the next step, researchers entered all articles that had been saved in RIF format
in Mendeley into the Nvivo 12 Plus application. The analysis and review stages in
the Nvivo 12 Plus application begin with opening the NVivo 12 Plus application
and preparing the RIS file, creating a Blank Project, and entering the title, "Digital
Learning Management”. The file was saved in the PC browser. The next step was
to create file names for the project in Files, Nodes, and Cases. In the file, the RIS
file was imported in the Mendeley menu by selecting the Author and Year menu,
and the created files in the menu were saved in the file that had been named
Digital Learning Management. When all inputs had been concluded, all
documents were blocked, and an auto-code was created by selecting the identified
theme. When the next step appeared in the file to select nodes or cases, the
relevant themes were selected according to the three research questions and
keywords, namely digital learning management, AI, Chatboots, and ChatGPT. In
the next step, the researcher selected the text with the code paragraph menu
aimed at the results being presented quickly. In the next step, the node results
were saved in the Digital Learning Management file, and the node stage ended.

Filling in the Cases, the researcher returned to the file menu and all files to be
blocked, and selected the Create As-Create as Cases menu, and selected the Cases
file menu named "Digital Learning Management”. When the Cases were filled in,
the next step was to go to the Create menu and click the Framework Matrix menu.
In the General menu, the file "Digital Learning Management" was written. On the
Rows menu, the Select menu was selected, and the file on Cases, "Digital Learning
Management", also was selected. When that input had been done, I moved to the
Columns menu and selected the node, "Digital Learning Management". When it
had been put in, I clicked the OK menu, and the description results of 51 articles
appeared according to the name and year categories. In order to get the node
result text, the Auto Summarize menu was selected. In the next step, when all the
texts had been put in, the author entered the findings according to the relevance
of the research question.

5. Discussion
5.1 Digital Learning Management concept using AI ChatGPT
Digital learning management is a cyber-based learning management system,
digital e-learning (Ahmad et al., 2022), which is used in machine-assisted learning,
scheduling, supervision, cheating detection and assessment, artificial intelligence
(Kaddoura et al., 2022), IoT, Chatbots, robots, augmented reality for deep and
digital-based learning (Baduge et al., 2022), and using generative artificial
intelligence, ChatGPT (Emenike & Emenike, 2023). Digital learning management
nowadays is not only e-learning, augmented reality, and virtual reality, but also
refers to artificial intelligence, which has become a new tool in digital learning
(Razak et al., 2023). To facilitate the implementation of digital learning
management, LMSs are used (Veluvali & Surisetti, 2022), such as MOOCs,
Lernraum Berlin Platform, MS Teams, Tencent Conference, Zoom, Webex
Platform, and OpenAI ChatGPT or AI ChatGPT (Yu et al., 2022). In digital
learning settings, ChatGPT AI chatbot is more popular than YouChat and
Chatsonic (Chaka, 2023). ChatGPT is set up as a tool for digital learning that
provides answering facilities and presents information according to learner needs
(Muñoz et al., 2023), which can be done with E-Classroom, synchronous or
asynchronous learning (Moorhouse et al., 2023).
ChatGPT in digital learning management refers to an intelligence-based Chatbots
with a large conversational language model (LLM) (Sallam, 2023), belonging to
the category of educational Chatbots for universities (Chamorro-Atalaya et al.,
2023), interactive conversations, or conversational agents designed to provide
learning experiences to students (Chang et al., 2023) developed by Open AI
(Openai.com) (Mondal et al., 2023). ChatGPT works with a transformer algorithm
through preprocessing, encoding, decoding, and postprocessing stages (Su &
Yang, 2023). ChatGPT is classified as a generative AI, designed to produce natural
text language. The development of ChatGPT from GPT, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 (Tlili
et al., 2023) is proof that artificial intelligence can be instructed to perform the
same intellectual tasks as human (Chan, 2023), and is proof that education cannot
be separated from intelligent and practical digital technology (Singh & Singh,
2023).
The findings about ChatGPT's AI concept are important for teachers, students,
and educational researchers to know. The reason is that ChatGPT, as an AI
product, influences the concept of digital-based learning management and

becomes a genre in specific learning contexts. The ever-changing development of
ChatGPT proves that technology is very inclusive and adapts to the times.
Therefore, all education activists must know the concept of AI at large, and
ChatGPT itself.
5.2 Use of AI ChatGPT in Education
AI ChatGPT is used from elementary school to college. In higher education, the
application of ChatGPT is a form of digital transformation that requires much
preparation, skills, digital literacy (Akour & Alenezi, 2022), adequate academic
performance, social-media networking (Sobaih et al., 2022), social-network
systems (Yusof et al., 2022), text drafting, data processing, and curriculum
development (Renato et al., 2023). In the world of education and research,
ChatGPT is used as a tool to organize writing, answer cross-cutting questions
(Alnaqbi & Fouda, 2023), to answer complex topics, in language training, virtual
tutoring, programming exercises, and to assist in the research process (Rahman &
Watanobe, 2023), assist with writing, research, academic publications (Halaweh,
2023), and manuscript editing (Cooper, 2023). ChatGPT is used by academics and
policymakers to help solve educational problems and make educational policies
(Pradana et al., 2023), while in Hong Kong, teachers and principals use OpenAI
ChatGPT to help with learning, school administration and assessment (Chiu,
2023). The use of AI in education is not just a tool but must transform education
as a cognitive process, integration of educational theory, and pedagogical practice
(Zekaj, 2023).
The University of Luebeck and the University Hospital of Tuebingen incorporated
AI ChatGPT as medical Chatbots in the medical education curriculum designed
for all medical students to communicate with AI-based patients (Moldt et al.,
2023). ChatGPT was used as a media knowledge assessment tool in France
(Panthier & Gatinel, 2023), integrated into the curriculum for the purpose of
strengthening care planning, telemedicine screening, diagnostics, and
management (Thurzo et al., 2023), and in Pakistan for teaching assistance,
personalized learning, research assistance, quick access to information,
automated scoring, language translation, creating content to facilitate learning,
and generating case scenarios (Khan et al., 2023). ChatGPT-4 was implemented as
an interactive anatomy tool and quiz medium for medical students in Greece.
Although varied, ChatGPT-4 cannot replace human education (Totlis et al., 2023).
The use of ChatGPT in education should be supervised and guided by educators.
This is to ensure that the use of AI takes place in a way that is effective, relevant,
and safe for the students. It is also important to consider privacy and data security
when using this kind of technology in an educational context. This is because, in
essence, teachers will not be replaced by any technology, including AI and
ChatGPT itself. Therefore, teacher supervision, guidance, and direction are very
important when students are delinquent on ChatGPT.
5.3 Impact of Using AI ChatGPT in Education
In general, the use of ChatGPT has both positive and negative impacts. The
positive impact is that AI in India is used to assist e-learning and e-assessment,
