EXPLORING THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF CHATGPT IN HIGHER EDUCATION FROM STUDENTS PERSPECTIVE
Get PDFThe introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 marked a pivotal moment in AI's role in higher education, sparking a mix of excitement and skepticism among educators and researchers. This advanced AI's ability to simulate human-like conversations and provide informative responses has led to its exploration for enhancing learning experiences across various disciplines, including public administration. However, this exploration is tempered by concerns over issues like AI bias, data privacy, and the implications of increased reliance on AI technologies in educational settings. Emphasis on the differences between these fields in terms of AI application and impact will be explored and analyzed.
The paper details the "Students' Perception of ChatGPT" survey conducted by the Faculty of Public Administration at the University of Ljubljana and an international consortium, which garnered over 23,000 responses globally. The survey investigated ChatGPT's influence on students' learning experiences, academic performance, skill development (such as critical thinking and writing), emotional responses, and ethical perspectives on AI in education. Utilizing a detailed questionnaire format, the survey combined both quantitative and qualitative methods to capture diverse student interactions and perceptions of ChatGPT.
The findings are anticipated to shed light on ChatGPT's transformative role in education, examining its potential in areas like tutoring, collaborative learning, and language skill development. Additionally, the survey aims to explore students' motivations and engagement in learning processes influenced by ChatGPT, while also addressing the challenges and concerns related to its use, such as accuracy and potential misuse.
Finally, the paper seeks to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about AI's role in education by providing a comprehensive view of global student perspectives on ChatGPT. The insights gained are expected to be instrumental for educators, policymakers, and AI developers in understanding and navigating the complex landscape of AI in higher education, thereby shaping future educational strategies and applications. The added focus on the differences among various academic fields will further enrich this understanding, offering a nuanced view of how ChatGPT's impact varies across disciplines
ENHANCING FARMER GROUPS’ STRENGTH: HOW EFFECTIVE IS THAILAND’S PROJECT ON STRENGTHENING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION GROUPS?
Get PDFIn 2021, the Thai government implemented the project on strengthening agricultural production groups to enhance their operational strength through providing them with required supports. This study aimed to evaluate if the project contributes to improving the groups’ strength, the group members’ income and the application of knowledge gained in their households. Logic model was applied as this evaluation’s conceptual framework and a Propensity Score Matching method was applied to analyse the project’s impact. Data were collected from the project participants (265 people) and non-participants (241 people) through a survey in 12 provinces in four regions of Thailand. The results revealed that 53.50% and 28.12% of the group members reported that their group was the strongest and very strong, respectively. This is because most members (86.27%) provide assistance to each other and most (86.22%) cooperate in carrying out the groups’ activities. Participating group members who received land allocation from the Agricultural Land Reform Office earned an average of 28,482 baht more per year than non-participating members. Participating farmer housewife group members earned an average of 12,638 baht more per year than non-participating members. Participating farm youth was 24.19% more likely to apply the knowledge gained in their household than non-participating youth. In conclusion, the project was effective and should therefore be continuously extended its results. Its bottom-up approach should be applied to other projects with similar characteristics. In addition, budgets from various sources should be integrated to provide different farmer groups with more opportunities to participate in the future projects

A STUDY ON THE POTENTIAL OF CHINA’S EXPORT TRADE OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS TO THE TEN ASEAN COUNTRIES ---NEW EVIDENCE FROM THE PANEL CS-ARDL MODEL
Get PDFThis paper constructs a Panel CS-ARDL model using annual data for China and 10 ASEAN countries during the period from 2002 to 2022 to study the long- and short-term trade potentials and impacts of China's exports of agricultural products to the 10 ASEAN countries, and measures the trade potential value of China's exports to the 10 ASEAN countries with reference to the existing literature. The study shows that the trade value of agricultural exports is significantly positively correlated with China's GDP, ASEAN's GDP, and ASEAN's population, while it is significantly negatively correlated with China's population, and the results are consistent in the short and long term. After measuring the trade potential value, it is found that China's agricultural export potential to the ten ASEAN countries is overall better, but it is characterized by uneven distribution and unbalanced development. Among them, the trade potential value of Indonesia fluctuates greatly, and the trade potential of Malaysia gradually reaches saturation
REPRESENTING THE ISLAMIST POLITICS IN BANGLADESHI NEWSPAPERS: THE 2023 BARISHAL CITY CORPORATION ELECTION AS A CASE
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the representation and news coverage of an Islamist political party- Islami Andolon Bangladesh (IAB) in three Bangladeshi mainstream and ‘quality’ daily newspapers- the Daily Star (DS), the Daily Janakantha (DJ) and the New Age (NA). In the context of the city corporation election- the 2023 Barishal City Corporation (BCC), the study has been conducted. It examines if the dailies either sidelined, ignored or favored this Islamist party. It observes where they pay more or less news value about IAB and its electoral campaign. Additionally, it argues that the candidate of IAB used myth through speeches to encourage voters. The myth— if you vote for hand-fan (electoral symbol of IAB), Allah and his messenger (prophet Hazrat Muhammad) will have the votes —was unchallenged and unquestioned and the advice not to use misinformation and misguide the voters found absent in the dailies. Though the IAB could not win the election, it was expected that mass media as social institutions would come forward with accurate information to inform people wisely and so that ordinary people would not be misguided. Through quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study leads to the outcomes that these newspapers were silent to uphold the activities of IAB. The DS and DJ had a propensity to sideline and ignore the IAB and its electioneering despite receiving the second highest vote in the election. They prioritized ruling party Awami League (AL) and Jatiya Party (JaPa) while the NA prioritized IAB through providing a better representation and emphasizing on different allegations made by this party. In future, this research can be a basement or pioneer for the researchers who will intend to look into the perspective of newspapers on political partie

AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF INSTITUTIONAL DISTANCE ON THE LEVEL OF CONTROL OF MULTINATIONALS IN THE INDONESIAN MEDIUM-HIGH AND HIGH TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY
Get PDFMultinational corporations (MNCs) significantly contribute to globalizing research and development, particularly in emerging economies like Indonesia. As Indonesia aims to achieve the "Making Indonesia 4.0" vision, attracting foreign investment to bolster its medium-high and high technology industry becomes crucial. This study conducts an exploration within institutional theory concerning the influence of 'distance' measures on the level of control exerted by MNCs in a host country. Focusing on Indonesia's medium-high and high technology industry, the research investigates the relationships between formal and informal institutional distances and MNCs' strategic control decisions. Statistical analyses support the hypotheses, affirming the significance of both formal and informal institutional distance in shaping MNCs' inclination toward majority stake deals in the targeted industry. The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of MNCs' strategic decision-making in an industry specific context. Which necessitates MNCs to balance managing partnerships to reduce strategic control in a formally distant host country, while at the same time maintaining a strong grip on technology-intensive activities to mitigate risks tied to reduce interdependence in an informally distant host country
