ChatGPT and the rise of semi-humans
This article explores the research question: ‘What are ChatGPT’s human-like traits as perceived by society?’ Thematic analyses of insights from 452 individuals worldwide yielded two categories of traits. Category 1 entails social traits, where ChatGPT embodies the social roles of ‘author’ (imitating human phrasing and paraphrasing practices) and ‘interactor’ (simulating human collaboration and emotion). Category 2 encompasses political traits, wi…
On-the-Go sourcing: Rethinking education and technology
This article creates a data-driven framework for the previously unframed concept of “on-the-go sourcing” (spontaneous actions anywhere, anytime or anyhow, whereby one instantly retrieves materials using the most accessible tools to obtain information about encountered matters). This framework was extracted from a pool of approximately 600 individuals. Of the 600, 40 were selected and divided into eight focus groups of five respondents each. Twent…
Sexmentality
This three-year ethnography scrutinises what drives culture in intentionally made anonymous communities. It is found that the biggest driver is “sexmentality”, the notion whereby communities fundamentally function according to concerns over sex (the term is applied throughout the manuscript to refer to the male–female categorisation). These communities sexualise the unsexual through histories of sex complexes and assign sex-directed thoughts exce…
Coronian Education: Perceptions of Educational Changes during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Arab Countries
This article tackles the question: To what domains did education go when it left school buildings due to the coronavirus pandemic? To answer this question, 1184 observations of online activity, 1132 observations of face-to-face activity, 118 focus groups and 1110 individual interviews were undertaken. In addition, 1290 witticisms were collected, utilising humour to inform research. Data analysis reveals the relocation of education to three domain…
Covidian education: An enquiry into Arab culture
The methodology of door-knocking: Saudi household surveys on socioeconomics and learning technologies
Some academics endorse analysing societies’ symbolic forms. This article, therefore, inspects the symbol of door-knocking. It addresses the research question of what impacts data collection through door-knocking. This question was addressed as part of a household survey conducted in low-income Saudi neighbourhoods to study socioeconomics and learning technologies. This study involved recruiting 18 male and female Saudis to knock on 1300 doors. It…
Academic Centrarchy: A Political System of Governing Education and Technology
Distance education as a response to pandemics: Coronavirus and Arab culture
The Theory of Retroactivism: Arab Resistance to Educational and Technological Progress
Passive Conformism in Academia: Saudi Organization, Education, and Technology
Academia is expected to act as a cognitive arena in which members intellectually challenge one another, problematize social structures, and destabilize dominant ideologies. It is, supposedly, a cognitively unstable environment wherein intellectualism pushes social boundaries and acts as an agent for social change. It is a training camp wherein people come to be trained in the practice of critical thinking. Hence, one would imagine that academia w…
Education, Technology and Geopolitics: The Arab World as an Instance
This article spans the domains of education, technology and geo-politics. It uses as an instance the Arab scholarship of education and technology, viewing its scholarly community through the geographical lens of regionalism. It enquires into the power relations among scholars in the Arab region and between scholars in the Arab region and their fellows from outside the region. It addresses the research question: to what extent have region-informed…
Information Thinness: Saudi Arabia
This article investigates the possibility that many users of the mobile phone communication apps communicate with one another but do not necessarily convey or receive any information, that is, anything that informs. A qualitative and quantitative investigation was carried out in Saudi Arabia, looking at how informative the messages were that Saudi society exchanged over mobile phone communication apps. The main finding was that a large number of …
The Culturalisation of Educational Technologies: An Enquiry into Saudi Arabia
This work looks into the culturalisation of educational technologies, a subject that appears thus far to not have received sufficient attention from the international academic community. It is structured around the research question: How have educational technologies been exposed and subjected to the influence of societal cultures? This question is addressed by a qualitative case study of a Saudi state university, analysing its documents, intervi…
