Dear Participant,

We, a group of researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of FEUP, kindly invite you to participate in a short survey about the use of videos and artificial intelligence (AI) as supplementary tools for learning academic subjects. Your opinions as a university student/researcher are vital for our research. This anonymous survey consists of 23 questions. All data will be examined at our group level, and no personal or identifiable information will be requested. The results of this research are purely scientific and will be published in a journal paper and presented at the “4th International Conference on Science and Technology Education, FEUP, Porto, Portugal (https://www.fe.up.pt/ste/2024/)”.

Thank you in advance for your participation and valuable feedback.

c- What is the year of your entry at the university *

d- Is Portuguese your first language? *

Yes

1- Have you used video learning resources as support for classroom learning? *

Yes, extensively

Yes, somewhat

No, not really

2- In your opinion, what are the main benefits of using video learning resources as support for classroom learning? (Multiple choice is possible)
*

Enhanced understanding of difficult concepts

Increased ability to review and repeat content as needed

Convenience and flexibility of accessing resources on your own schedule

Other:

Required

3- In your opinion, what are the main drawbacks or limitations of using video learning resources as support for classroom learning? (Multiple choice is possible)
*

Limited ability to ask questions or receive immediate feedback

Potential for distractions or lack of engagement

Limited opportunity for hands-on learning or experimentation

Potential for technical issues or limitations with video resources

Other:

Required

4- When do you typically prefer to watch videos as a supplementary learning resource?

Before class (to prepare)

After class (to reinforce or review)

During class (presented by the teachers)

I don’t watch videos as supplementary learning

5- Do you use a specific platform (e.g. YouTube) to find educational videos?

Yes, always

Sometimes

Rarely

No, I usually use the videos suggested by my classmates

I don’t use videos for learning

6- What type of video content do you find most helpful for the students?
*

Lecture-style videos

Demonstration or tutorial videos

Animated or visual explanations

Interviews or discussions with experts

7- In general, do you prefer using short videos or longer videos with more detailed information?
*

Short videos

Longer videos with more details

It depends on the topic or content

Not important at all

8- Before watching a video as a supplementary learning resource, do you check if it was made by an expert in the field?

Yes, always

Sometimes

Rarely

I don’t watch videos as a supplementary learning resource

9- In addition to the video content, how important is the quality of the video production to you?

Very important

Somewhat important

Not very important

10- In which subjects do you think using complementary videos is most effective for teaching students?
*

Basic science (Mathematics, Physics, etc)

Engineering subjects (such as Mechanics of materials, etc)

Laboratory based subjects

11- Have you ever asked a teacher to show a video to better understand course material?

Yes, often

Sometimes

Rarely

No, never

12- Do you believe that video prepared by a teacher could completely replace in-person instruction?

Yes, for all subjects

Yes, for certain subjects

No completely, since the teacher needs to explain the challenging parts and answer the questions raised during watching the video

No completely, the video can help just as a complementary tool for learning and cannot substitute the respective teacher

13- Do you prefer videos prepared based on textbooks or other written materials, so that you can refer back to the written materials as needed?

Yes, I would prefer watching videos made based on a textbook.

It doesn't matter to me whether the videos are created based on a textbook or not.

14- Have you ever used an AI (Artificial Intelligence) based tool for learning academic subjects?
*

Yes

Other:

15- Have you ever used chatbots like ChatGPT to find the answers to academic questions ?
*

No.

Yes, I have used and I found the answers irrelevant.

Yes, I have used and I found the answers very general.

Yes, I have used and I found the answers very useful and in detail.

16- How confident are you in using AI tools to enhance your learning experience?
*

Not confident at all

Somewhat confident

Extremely confident

17- In which subject do you think that AI can help you more effectively to learn?
*

Basic science (Mathematics, Physics, etc)

Engineering subjects (such as Mechanics of materials, etc)

Laboratory based subjects

18- What is your perspective of AI in education?
*

AI can totally revolutionize the traditional education system and replace it.

AI can change the traditional education system as a complementary method beside it.

Al will have no effect on the traditional system of education.

19. Have you ever used AI to do your homework?

Never

I used it and I found it helpful.

I used it but I did not find it helpful.

20- Do you think AI can replace human instructors in teaching academic subjects?
*

Yes, entirely

Yes, to some extent

No, not at all

Don't know

21- Would you be interested in taking a course that solely focuses on teaching you AI?
*

Yes, very interested

Somewhat interested

Not very interested

Not interested at all

22- In your opinion, what are the main potential drawbacks of using AI-based tools in engineering courses? (Multiple choice is possible)
*

The loss of the human element in the learning process

The potential for errors in the AI algorithm

The cost of implementing AI-based tools

The potential for bias in the AI algorithm

The lack of trust in the AI-based tools

Other:

Required

23- Do you think if AI can improve the drawbacks of Video learning such as the lack of interaction with students?
*

Strongly Agree: AI has the potential to significantly enhance interaction in video learning and overcome the lack of student engagement.

Agree: AI can offer valuable tools and features that can help mitigate the drawbacks of video learning, fostering better interaction with students.

Disagree: While AI may provide some improvements, it cannot fully compensate for the absence of direct human interaction in video learning.

Strongly Disagree: AI is unable to effectively address the lack of interaction in video learning, and other methods should be explored to overcome this challenge.
