Call for Papers

The open-access journal Education Sciences (ISSN 2227-7102) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue titled “Enhancing Educational Outcomes: Innovative Approaches to Human–AI Collaboration in Learning Environments.” Dr. Bo Pei is serving as the guest editor for this issue.
We cordially invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the field of AI and education to contribute their expertise to this special issue. The aim is to explore cutting-edge research on the applications, impacts, and support the optimal human and AI interaction patterns in educational settings.
For more detailed information, please check the HomePage of the the special issue "Enhancing Educational Outcomes: Innovative Approaches to Human–AI Collaboration in Learning Environments" All papers may be submitted before 8/30/2025.

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Instructional Technology Program at College of Education at the University of South Florida, Tampa, USA. I do interdisciplinary research in Computer Science and Education, seeking how to enhance the use of AI technologies in the actual teaching and learning settings.

I am passionate about solving educational problems with data-driven approaches and telling educational stories with engaging and effective visualization strategies. I investigate analytical models/approaches to better model students' learning processes using large-scale, heterogenous learning data to promote personalized learning.
