Collaborative learning and skill development for educational growth of artificial intelligence: A systematic review

Abstract

The diversity of topics in education makes it difficult for artificial intelligence (AI) to address them all in depth. Therefore, guiding to focus efforts on specific issues is essential. The analysis of competency development by fostering collaboration should be one of them because competencies are the way to validate that the educational exercise has been successful and because collaboration has proven to be one of the most effective strategies to improve performance outcomes. This systematic review analyzes the relationship between AI, competency development, and collaborative learning (CL). PRISMA methodology is used with data from the SCOPUS database. A total of 1,233 articles were found, and 30 passed the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis of the selected articles identified three categories that deserve attention: the objects of study, the way of analyzing the results, and the types of AI that could be used. In this way, it has been possible to determine the relationship offered by the studies between skill development and CL and ideas about AI’s contributions to this field. Overall, however, the data from this systematic review suggest that, although AI has great potential to improve education, it should be approached with caution. More research is needed to fully understand its impact and how best to apply this technology in the classroom, minimizing its drawbacks, which may be relevant, and making truly effective and productive use of it.

Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Exploring Ways of Harnessing Pedagogical Practices with the Assistance of ChatGPT

“…Students can use ChatGPT to facilitate collaborative discussions, brainstorming sessions, and work on group projects and assignments. A review indicated the possibilities of AI in collaborative learning, in face-to-face and computer-mediated interactions, and also highlighted the development of communicative, collaborative, and cognitive skills [51]. AI was also shown to give students an opportunity to easily access available communication training [52].…”

Exploring the potential of artificial intelligence tools in educational measurement and assessment

“…AI has been transforming education in recent years. This increasing significance of AI has garnered the interest of numerous scholars actively exploring diverse methods to incorporate various AI tools within the classroom environment (Halaweh, 2023;Mena-Guacas et al, 2023;Papapicco, 2020). With the increasing availability of data and the growing sophistication of machine learning algorithms, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn, teach, and assess student progress.…”
