“…These findings are consistent with the research of Downey et al [31], who also concluded that learning through the constructionism approach fosters lifelong learning skills. Hamlin [32] affirmed that active learning, which provides opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and participate in the learning process, is a strategy that promotes SDL skills. These findings are also supported by Tan and Ling [33], who found that SDL skills are developed when students have the freedom to design artifacts, participate in planning their learning journey, and verify and assess their learning.…”

Due to the advancement of digital technology in the 21st century, self-directed learning (SDL) skills have become crucial for learning in the digital era, which is characterized by rapid change. Most previous studies have focused on enhancing SDL skills through various instructional methods. Today, technology plays a crucial role in learning. In the current context, exploring the outcomes of incorporating digital technology in teaching methods to enhance SDL skills is an intriguing subject. This study investigated the impact of SDL skills and learning achievement promotion by employing learning activities based on the constructionism approach in a digital learning ecosystem (DLE). The study used a quasi-experimental research approach with a non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. The participants were eleventh-grade students. The results showed that both the SDL skills and learning achievement of the experimental group increased more compared to those of the control group. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that learning-by-marking within an environment where numerous digital technologies serve as learning tools has a positive impact on SDL skills and learning achievement.

“…The society of the future is a competition between people, experience and wisdom (Powell, 2020;Schmidt, 2022). This implies that there is a need for high-level thinkers and lifelong learners with the ability to correlate new and old knowledge, reorganize and process information, analyze problems creatively, solve complex problems effectively, work well in teams to achieve situations in win-win and observe the world critically (Hamlin, 2022;Kroth et al, 2022).…”

The article discusses a mixed type investigation with an explanatory scope, its purpose is: to explain theimplementation of Information Competencies as a cognitive strategy that contributes to the development of research in teachers in a Higher Education Institution (HEI). Supported by an experimental research design, with a quasiexperimental study and a triangular approach (qualitative and quantitative). To identify deficiencies on the topic studied, a diagnosis was carried out that evaluates the level of knowledge to know the skills in acquiring information that allows them to generate research through ICT and informational skills. The results obtained from the application of the change strategies to the teachers subject to study in the pretest made it possible to verify the hypothesis, the implementation of the change strategies to obtain informational competencies through the application of the measurement instrument. ALFIN allowed the subjects to improve their knowledge, skills and attitudes in investigative processes.

Recent years have created a growing demand for accessible and practical language learning tools due to the limited availability of personalized interactive language practice opportunities (Chen et al., 2021). As English language education continues to flourish, learners seek new ways to improve language skills and promote autonomous learning. As an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT has emerged as a promising solution to this problem. It harnesses natural language processing for text-based generation of conversations with users. Designed for users at all levels of language proficiency, it can respond to user inquiries, provide feedback on language skills, and simulate real-life conversation scenarios. With its ability to personalize learning and provide immediate feedback, ChatGPT has the potential to boost language education and improve language learning skills across the globe.Adopting Kohnke and Moorhouse's (2022) framework, this media review evaluates ChatGPT 3.5 for language learning. ChatGPT is available online through internet browsers at https:// chat. openai. com/ auth/ login . To utilize ChatGPT, users must sign up or log in via email, Google, or Microsoft accounts. The website has a user-friendly interface, with six tabs (i.e., new chat, clear conversations, upgrade to plus, light/dark mode, updates and FAQ, and logout) on the left and a main screen on the right that includes examples, capabilities, limitations at the top and the chat box at the bottom. Although it provides the most accurate responses in English because of its language of training, ChatGPT allows users to inquire about any subject in any language. Users might opt for a free plan and ChatGPT Plus ($20/month). Plan upgrade enables availability even on high demands, quicker response, and prioritized access to novel features. Recent updates also allow Plus and Enterprise users to converse with a voice assistant and transcribe audio files to texts via Whisper-an open-source speech recognition system. However, a free account comfortably accommodates user needs. Also, visually sensitive users might switch between light and dark interface modes.One of ChatGPT's distinctive features is immediate feedback on language use, such as grammar, vocabulary, and writing (Figure 1). This allows autonomous learners to identify their strengths and weaknesses in language production and improve their accuracy accordingly. Given matters such as overpopulated classrooms, the heavy workload in various language education contexts, and the accompanying requirement for responsiveness to learner needs and inquiries (Aliakbari et al., 2020), this feature might be leveraged particularly by those wishing for quick and efficient linguistic improvement.
