Application of AI in the Development of Teaching and Learning of ‍Project Studies

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the teaching and learning of the Project Study course, 2) ‍to ‍determine student satisfaction with using AI as a tool for project development, and 3) to compare learning achievement between students who used AI and those who did not. The sample group consisted of 40 students from the Information Technology and Multimedia and Animation branches, Faculty of Science and Technology, Bangkok Thonburi University, enrolled in the second semester of the academic year 2023, selected via purposive sampling. Research instruments included a satisfaction questionnaire and focus group discussions. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

The results indicated that students expressed a high level of satisfaction with the implementation of AI in their projects, particularly regarding the efficacy of AI assistance (Mean = 4.63) and the efficiency of information retrieval and article summarization (Mean = 4.80). Furthermore, students who used AI demonstrated significantly higher learning achievement compared to those who did not. Integrating AI with Competency-based Learning (CBL) significantly enhanced students' comprehension, provided access to diverse information sources, and minimized content preparation time. Consequently, this pedagogical approach demonstrated superior efficiency in project development compared to traditional instructional methods.
