CONNECTING FUNCTIONAL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TO HIGHER EDUCATION ANDRAGOGY USING GENERATIVE ARIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ABSTRACT
All ideas and writing in this paper are original. The Abstract was created by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) ChatGPT in May 2024.
This paper addresses integrating meaningful educational technologies in curriculum design using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. It emphasizes the importance of understanding various curricula and practical course design principles before integrating technology. The proposed approach focuses on foundational learning theories and effective pedagogical practices to create dynamic and engaging curricula. Furthermore, the paper explores how GenAI can support effective teaching practices by providing tools for assessing, measuring, and evaluating teaching effectiveness and aiding in creating teaching statements to articulate beliefs and strategies. Additionally, GenAI is highlighted as a facilitator of self-regulation, metacognition, and self-efficacy activities, fostering personalized learning paths, real-time feedback, goal setting, and adaptive resources. The integration of GenAI extends to various instructional elements such as mood/confusion buttons for immediate feedback, Instructables for active learning objects, student response systems for collaborative learning experiences, and curated learning materials for concise summaries. Moreover, GenAI facilitates effective communication between instructors and learners through actionable suggestions, feedback mechanisms, and support for research-based teaching methods. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for integrating GenAI into teaching and learning processes, emphasizing the importance of aligning technology with pedagogical principles to enhance educational outcomes.
