  • The educational situation, which resulted from the announced self-isolation regime, intensified the forced decisions on the organization of the distance educational process. The study is topical because of the provision of distance learning based on the experience of Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. The study was conducted in three stages. Systemic, socio-communicative, competence approaches, sociological methods (questionnaires and interviews) were chosen as methodological tools of the research. The results of a survey of teachers and entrants to higher education institutions on the topic "Using social networks and digital platforms for online classes under the conditions of quarantine restrictions" allowed to scientifically substantiate the need for deeper knowledge of such tools as Google Meet (79%), Zoom (13.78%) and Google Classroom (11.62%), which are preferred by entrants. Almost a third of entrants (34.26%) noted the lack of scientific and methodological support for learning the subjects. The study showed high efficiency of messengers in distance education. The study found that in the process of organizing communication in the student-teacher system, it is necessary to take into account the priority of Telegram on the basis of which it is necessary to implement a chatbot for convenient and effective exchange of information about the educational process. Further research should focus on the effectiveness of the use of Telegram. The effectiveness of using chatbots should also be considered. Chatbots can be used to automate routine components of the learning process.

  • This study examines the changes in learners' positive/negative perceptions of classroom experience and actual utilisation of AI chatbots in response to the recent changes in education trends caused by generative AI. AI chatbots were utilised in web programming classes for six classes of engineering students over two semesters. The learners' experience and usage were analysed from the beginning of the semester through surveys until the submission of midterm and final examination reports. The study's results indicate that the chatbot enhanced learning by providing Q/A feedback and solving practical problems. Additionally, the perception of the chatbot improved from midterm to the end of the course. The study also drew meaningful conclusions about the issue of community disconnection (personalisation) in the classroom and how to use it as educational software. This research is significant for the development of generative AI-based software.

  • Adaptive has gained significant attention in Education Technology (EdTech), with personalized learning experiences becoming increasingly important. Next-generation chatbots, including models like ChatGPT, are emerging in the field of education. These advanced tools show great potential for delivering personalized and adaptive learning experiences. This paper reviews previous research on adaptive learning and the role of chatbots in education. Based on this, the paper explores current and future chatbot technologies to propose a framework for using ChatGPT or similar chatbots in adaptive learning. The framework includes personalized design, targeted resources and feedback, multi-turn dialogue models, reinforcement learning, and fine-tuning. The proposed framework also considers learning attributes such as age, gender, cognitive ability, prior knowledge, pacing, level of questions, interaction strategies, and learner control. However, the proposed framework has yet to be evaluated for its usability or effectiveness in practice, and the applicability of the framework may vary depending on the specific field of study. Through proposing this framework, we hope to encourage learners to more actively leverage current technologies, and likewise, inspire educators to integrate these technologies more proactively into their curricula. Future research should evaluate the proposed framework through actual implementation and explore how it can be adapted to different domains of study to provide a more comprehensive understanding of its potential applications in adaptive learning.

  • Artificial intelligence(AI) is spurring advancements in EdTech, the merger of technology and education. This includes the creation of effective learning materials and personalized student experiences. Our study focuses on developing a programming education software that employs state-of-the-art generative AI. Our software also includes prompts optimized for programming code analysis, which are based on the well-known ChatGPT API. Furthermore, the necessary functions for acquiring programming skills were created with a user interface and developed as a question-and-answer template function based on an AI chatbot. The objective of this study is to guide the development of educational programmes that make use of generative AI.

  • The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction and implications of learning with AI in the future by analyzing the trends of research learning with AI in the field of education. For doing this, the final 78 papers published in domestic journals over the past three years from 2019 to July 2021 were selected for analysis through review. The analysis results are as follows. First of all, papers in 2020 among the three years were most published, and the most utilized research method was the qualitative research. In addition, according to the analysis by study subject, studies on elementary school students were the most common, followed by studies on college and graduate students. In the analysis by subject, research related to foreign language education was most utilized and chatbot was most used in the AI technology type. Finally, the research learning with AI accounted for the majority, and student support accounted for the majority as the type of education system learning with AI at the implementation stage among the areas of teaching and learning and evaluation. Based on these results, the direction and implications of learning with AI in the future were presented. This study is meaningful in that it grasped research trends of learning with AI in domestic from an overall perspective, and examined learning with AI focusing on the instructor-learner and the teaching and learning design process.
