For teachers, the chatbots can reduce their workload by helping them provide scalable and personalised feedback to students.<\/p>\n<p>But what makes an effective AI teaching assistant? Should it be warm and friendly or professional and competent? What are the potential pitfalls of integrating such technology into the classroom?<\/p>\n<p>Our ongoing research explores student preferences, highlighting the benefits and challenges of using AI chatbots in education.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Warm or competent?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We developed two AI chatbots \u2013 John and Jack. Both chatbots were designed to assist university students with self-directed learning tasks but differed in their personas and interaction styles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74987\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74987\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74987\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ChatBotJohn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ChatBotJohn.jpg 300w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ChatBotJohn-250x229.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-74987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chatbot John was friendly and supportive, offering students encouragement. Author Supplied<\/p><\/div>\n<p>John, the \u201cwarm\u201d chatbot, featured a friendly face and casual attire. His communication style was encouraging and empathetic, using phrases like \u201cspot on!\u201d and \u201cgreat progress! Keep it up!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When students faced difficulties, John responded with support: \u201cIt looks like this part might be tricky. I\u2019m here to help!\u201d His demeanour aimed to create a comfortable and approachable learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>Jack, the \u201ccompetent\u201d chatbot, had an authoritative appearance with formal business attire. His responses were clear and direct, such as \u201ccorrect\u201d or \u201cgood! This is exactly what I was looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When identifying problems, he was straightforward: \u201cI see some issues here. Let\u2019s identify where it can be improved.\u201d Jack\u2019s persona was intended to convey professionalism and efficiency.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74988\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74988\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74988\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ChatBotJack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ChatBotJack.jpg 300w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ChatBotJack-250x226.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-74988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chatbot Jack was competent and direct. Author Supplied<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We introduced the chatbots to university students during their self-directed learning activities. We then collected data through surveys and interviews about their experiences.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Distinct preferences<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We found there were distinct preferences among the students. Those from engineering backgrounds tended to favour Jack\u2019s straightforward and concise approach. One engineering student commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Jack felt like someone I could take more seriously. He also pointed out a few additional things that John hadn\u2019t when asked the same question.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This suggests a professional and efficient interaction style resonated with students who value precision and directness in their studies.<\/p>\n<p>Other students appreciated John\u2019s friendly demeanour and thorough explanations. They found his approachable style helpful, especially when grappling with complex concepts. One student noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>John\u2019s encouraging feedback made me feel more comfortable exploring difficult topics.<\/em<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center>Chatbot Jack was competent and direct. Author Supplied<\/center><br \/>\nInterestingly, some students desired a balance between the two styles. They valued John\u2019s empathy but also appreciated Jack\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The weaknesses of Jack and John<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While many students found the AI chatbots helpful, several concerns and potential weaknesses were highlighted. Some felt the chatbots occasionally provided superficial responses that lacked depth. As one student remarked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Sometimes, the answers felt generic and didn\u2019t fully address my question.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is also a risk of students becoming too dependent on AI assistance, potentially hindering the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. One student admitted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I worry that always having instant answers could make me less inclined to figure things out on my own.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The chatbots also sometimes struggled with understanding the context or nuances of complex questions. A student noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>When I asked about a specific case study, the chatbot couldn\u2019t grasp the intricacies and gave a broad answer.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This underscored AI\u2019s challenges in interpreting complex human language and specialised content.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy and data security concerns were also raised. Some students were uneasy about the data collected during interactions.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, potential biases in AI responses were a significant concern. Since AI systems learn from existing data, they can inadvertently perpetuate biases present in their training material.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Future-proofing classrooms<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The findings highlight the need for a balanced approach in incorporating AI into education. Offering students options to customise their AI assistant\u2019s persona could cater to diverse preferences and learning styles. Enhancing the AI\u2019s ability to understand context and provide deeper, more nuanced responses is also essential.<\/p>\n<p>Human oversight remains crucial. Teachers should continue to play a central role, guiding students and addressing areas where AI falls short. AI should be seen as a tool to augment, not replace, human educators. By collaborating with AI, educators can focus on fostering critical thinking and creativity, skills AI cannot replicate.<\/p>\n<p>Another critical aspect is addressing privacy and bias. Institutions must implement robust data privacy policies and regularly audit AI systems to minimise biases and ensure ethical use.<\/p>\n<p>Transparent communication about how data is used and protected can alleviate student concerns.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The nuances of AI in classrooms<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Our study is ongoing, and we plan to expand it to include more students across different courses and educational levels. This broader scope will help us better understand the nuances of student interactions with AI teaching assistants.<\/p>\n<p>By acknowledging both the strengths and weaknesses of AI chatbots, we aim to inform the development of tools that enhance learning outcomes while addressing potential challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The insights from this research could significantly impact how universities design and implement AI teaching assistants in the future.<\/p>\n<p>By tailoring AI tools to meet diverse student needs and addressing the identified issues, educational institutions can leverage AI to create more personalised and effective learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Shahper Richter is Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing, Inna Piven is a Professional Teaching Fellow, Business School and Patrick Dodd is a Professional Teaching Fellow, Business School at the University of Auckland<\/em><\/p>\n<p><small>This research was completed with Guy Bate and Shohil Kishore.
