    This study is an extension of literature concerning the effectiveness of learning using AI technologies, focusing on the factors affecting behavioral intention of students towards such use in the context of Jordan higher educational institutions. The sample, consisting of 282 university students from Jordanian university was selected through convenience sampling, after which, data was gathered from them. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling to test the formulated hypotheses. Based on the obtained results, efforts, social influence, perceived risk, and technology readiness had significant effects on behavioral intention of students towards AI technology but this significance was not found for performance expectancy and facilitated conditions. Moreover, the findings indicated that attitudes had a significant mediating effect on perceived risk, social influence, and behavioral intention but efforts, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, technology readiness had no such mediating effect. The study has several practical and theoretical implications, the top of which is the extension of theoretical models of UTAUT and other technology readiness models and the enhancement of AI practices among the learning process of students.

    The design-build studio (DBS) is an emergent paradigm in architecture education. Recently, researchers have addressed the success of integrating the design-build concept into the conventional studio in the advanced years of education to improve several issues related to the design process: social, environmental, technological, …etc. However, its efficiency in terms of contribution to the learning experience has not yet been addressed. This paper examines the implementation of the DBS concept as a new teaching model to improve the problem-solving skills (PSS) of first-year students in engineering education. It also discusses the effects on learning experiences and pedagogical outcomes in both quantitative and qualitative terms. The research’s results identify the significance of applying this model as a real-simulated method-based learning experience. It can help students to improve their learning experiences and to enhance students self-confidence regarding PSS.
