Effects Of Using an AI-Chatbot On Preservice Teachers’ Responsive Teaching Skills

• In Event: TED: Effects Of Using an AI-Chatbot On Preservice Teachers’ Responsive Teaching Skills

Short Description

This experimental study examined the use of an AI-based chatbot in mathematics education to enhance preservice teachers' (PSTs) responsive teaching skills. Effective mathematics teaching involves being responsive to students' mathematical ideas, but PSTs have limited opportunities to practice. In this study, we had PSTs pose questions to a chatbot that simulated a virtual student with a partial understanding of fractions. The intervention’s effectiveness was evaluated employing a randomized controlled design with pre- and post-assessments.
