ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HISTORY TEACHING: THE RESULTS OF A PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, digital technologies, humanities, history of Kazakhstan, methods of teaching history.Abstract
The article examines the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence tools in teaching regional history. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to increase the educational motivation and activity of students by introducing artificial intelligence tools into the educational process. The purpose of the research is to identify the impact of the use of artificial intelligence tools on the learning outcomes of students.
102 first-year students participated in the study. The study was conducted in an experimental group using artificial intelligence tools and in a control group where instruction was carried out using traditional methods. During the research, students were offered interactive tasks: virtual historical data, analytical exercises, and creative work. The experiment consisted of the stages of preliminary testing, implementation of the methodology, and subsequent testing. The methods of quantitative and comparative analysis were used in the course of the study. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed a higher level of learning, critical thinking, and learning activities. The results of the experimental group's work are clearly reflected in the article. There were fewer positive changes in the control group.
In addition, the article notes a number of difficulties that arise when using artificial intelligence. The results of the research can serve as a basis for improving educational programs, for broad application in the practice of teaching historical and humanitarian disciplines, and for future research in digital pedagogy.
