Utilization of Artificial Intelligence to Increase Interactivity in History Learning for High School Students
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Educational Technology, High School Students, History Learning, Learning InteractivityAbstract
This study aims to analyze how artificial intelligence (AI) using ChatGPT can improve the interactivity of history learning for high school students. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation analysis related to the use of AI-based educational technology in history learning. The research participants consisted of history teachers and high school students who had used AI in the teaching and learning process. The data obtained was analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to identify interaction patterns that emerged in AI-based learning. The validity of the data is strengthened through triangulation of sources and methods to ensure the accuracy of the findings. The results show that the application of AI significantly increases student engagement in understanding historical events through more interactive learning experiences. The contribution of this research provides insight for educators in optimizing educational technology to increase the effectiveness of history learning at the high school level..
