From Chalkboards to Chatbots: The Transformation of Teaching Methodologies

Abstract

The fast adoption of online technologies has greatly posed a challenge to the approaches of teaching and re-framed the traditional classroom as an interactive technology-mediated classroom. The paper will analyze the pedagogical change of traditional chalkboard-based education to the introduction of smart digital learning devices, chatbots, learning management systems, and artificial intelligent-based educational platforms. The research will examine the effects of these technological interventions on the practice of instruction, involvement of learners and the entire teaching learning process in various learning institutions. The paper presents the review of available models of pedagogy and traces the development of the teaching approaches as a response to the technological progress with the help of the conceptual and analytical approach. Rather, the main emphasis is made on the contrast between teacher-centered and learner-centered and adaptive learning models on the basis of digital technologies. It also discusses the ways in which chatbots and AI-driven solutions can be applied to make education more accessible by providing customized learning, instant feedback and 24/7 academic assistance. It is implied that the teaching practice of technology makes it easier to learn, student motivation, and differentiated instruction by fulfilling diverse students needs. However, the transition has problems. The issues of digital literacy, the infrastructure restriction, data privacy, and the changing role of teachers are mentioned as the priority areas of concern that have to be planned and facilitated on a institutional level. The article outlines the relevance of applying technology innovation and pedagogical integrity in an effort to attain meaningful learning outcomes. The paper will discover that the substitution of chalkboard by chatbots is a change in technology as well as paradigm shift in the philosophy of education. By applying proper utilization of digital technology alongside proper pedagogical theory, learning institutions can develop more dynamic, interactive, and progressive learning.
