Chatbots can be used to help students make sense of social studies concepts.
If a student was struggling to understand economic concepts, they could ask a chatbot “What are communism, capitalism, and socialism?” The conversation can lead to discussing the similarities and differences between those concepts.
Students are able to build on prior knowledge while engaging in Q&A.
Students can also prompt the chatbot to test their knowledge of a concept and build from that understanding.
Role-playing offers a potent boost to students' grasp of context in concepts or discussions.
Through the use of chatbots, students have the opportunity to interact in conversations that take on the roles of various characters or subjects, enhancing their understanding in a unique and interactive way.
Letting AI run a simulation for a student can promote critical thinking and evaluative skills.
Simulations can encourage students to think about the implications and context of a scenario, helping address concepts while understanding the nuances related to the content.
