STUDY OF THE FUNCTIONAL POTENTIAL OF AI TOOLS IN THE MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

The article analyzes the results of a study held at MGIMO University revealing teachers’ and students’ opinion regarding the types of AI tools used in the educational process in demand among both respondent groups. A detailed analysis of AI tools is carried out in order to select the most relevant ones to be used by teachers as effective teaching tools, and students as a means of assistance in their studies. In the process of the study, the AI tools are evaluated in terms of their functional potential, practical relevance, usability and impact on the quality of the educational process. The paper also proposes the author’s methodology for classification of AI tools used for the purposes of implementation in the educational process. This classification allows defining more precisely the scope of application of each tool and its potential in educational practice. The concepts of a complex didactic tool and of mono- and polyfunctional tools are introduced and specified. The results of the study emphasize the importance of integrating AI-technologies into the educational process, contributing to the creation of a more flexible and adaptive learning environment. The conclusions of the article can be useful both for teachers seeking to improve their teaching methods and for developers of educational technologies oriented to meet the needs of modern educational space.
