NSF-funded project explores the use of AI-powered chatbots to prepare future educators

If you were to sit in an online math class with them, Gabriel, Noah, and Jiwoo may sound like real elementary school students interacting in a virtual classroom, asking questions and making mistakes as they try to solve problems. In reality, they’re AI agents, better known as chatbots, helping to prepare future teachers to teach math more effectively.

The agents were developed by a Kennesaw State University researcher who is using artificial intelligence to help prepare future teachers for one of the most challenging aspects of the classroom: responding to how students think about math.

Funded by a three-year, $300,000 National Science Foundation grant, Associate Professor of Instructional Technology Dabae Lee developed an AI-powered agent system that simulates student interactions.
