Playing with AI to Investigate Human-Computer Interaction Technology and Improving Critical Thinking Skills to Pursue 21st Century Age

Abstract

As part of the human-computer interaction (HCI) that artificial intelligence has, it has a specific effect on developing critical thinking skills, which is what this study is looking at. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of AI friend apps on EFoLLe (English foreign language learners) interactions with technology. The primary focus of this paper is on a new artificial intelligence-based immersion teaching method for university-level English. Students’ English proficiency and CT are the primary goals of this course. This study employs mixed methods research design using an online survey and classroom observation. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques helped researchers to understand deeply. Still, little research was used to look at the survey and how people acted while they were learning how to use AI to improve CT skills. The participants in this paper were polled using an online survey. A total of 453 people participated in the survey. According to the outcomes of the study, AI friends to enhance students’ critical thinking abilities has a positive impact among the participants. Because AI-based instruction promotes students’ trust, self-confidence, open-mindedness, and maturity in English, it can help them improve their critical thinking skills. This is because critical thinking skills are the foundation for 21st-century skills, and AI-based instruction helps students learn these skills. This study helped AI-based instruction because it helps nonnative English students become more trusting, self-confident, open-minded, and mature in English. It also helps them learn the CT skills that are the foundation of critical thinking, so they can learn new skills in the 21stcentury.

The Transformative Power of AI Writing Technologies: Enhancing EFL Writing Instruction through the Integrative Use of Writerly and Google Docs

“…The mixed research approach combines elements of both quantitative and qualitative research methods in a single study to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a research topic by integrating numerical data analysis with an in-depth exploration of underlying meanings, contexts, and experiences [58] like the use of AI writing technologies in writing classrooms. Prior researches including Palermo and Wilson [57], Wale [27], Fathi et al [39], Alharbi and Alqefari [40], Abdul et al [34], Muthmainnah Seraj and Oteir [54], and Utami et al [45] have similarly employed a mixed research approach, yielding congruent results that correlate with the findings of the current study as presented in Section 6.…”

“…As Muthmainnah Seraj and Oteir [54] investigated, while 19.1% of the students strongly agreed on the relevance of AI writing applications to enhance writing skills, 51.6 agreed, and 27.3 were neutral on the issue. Wang [30] also found that AI writing technologies could motivate students to write more for it is stress-free and entertaining to work online.…”

Accelerated the Mechanics of Science and Insight through Mind Genomics and AI: Policy for the Citrus Industry

“…The former being said, the capability to accelerate and expand knowledge is still relevant, especially as that capability bears upon a variety of important issues. The first issue is the need to instill critical thinking into students [14,15]. The speed, simplicity, and sheer volume of targeted information may provide an important contribution to the development of critical thinking.…”

Digital Language Learning through Instructional design by using Tubequizard in EFL Classroom

“…Thus, lecturers play a very important role in ensuring their students are successful in developing language skills at university by providing them with media and technology-based learning. Muthmainnah et al (2022) and Bower et al (2017) stated that educational establishments are rapidly updating their courses to meet students' needs as they grow up in a digital era, with digital learning developments expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. In the EFL teaching process, this standard is being reached more quickly.…”
