Exploring the Pedagogical Use of AI-Powered Chatbots Educational Perceptions and Practices

By providing personalized and adaptable learning experiences, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize education. One promising development in this field is the use of generative artificial intelligence technology, such as the ChatGPT conversational agent. Chatbot technology has the potential to revolutionize the way educational content is accessed, created, understood, and implemented. In this research paper, we examine the current state of AI-powered chatbots in education and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using chatbots in this context. A case study of an AI unit planner (Copilot) built on top of the GPT-3 application in K-12 settings will also be presented, examining how chatbots are used to assist teachers in lesson design and the extent to which teachers are familiar with them. Finally, the implications of chatbot technology for the future of education are discussed, along with recommendations for future research directions.
