Abstract
This study examines the impact of AI prompts on student participation and motivation within collaborative classroom dynamics. In contemporary education, active student engagement is paramount, and AI tools, particularly prompts and chatbots, present a novel approach to enhance this. Utilizing a Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) framework, the research investigates how AI prompts, both synchronous (teacher-moderated) and asynchronous (student-led), affect group work in an international business management course at Complutense University of Madrid. Fifty students participated in a two-hour synchronous classroom activity and a four-week asynchronous assignment, both involving AI prompt usage. The study evaluates the efficacy of AI prompts in fostering collaborative learning, boosting student motivation, and comparing the impact of synchronous versus asynchronous prompt deployment. Findings shed light on the potential of AI in personalizing learning experiences, promoting critical thinking, and improving student engagement in higher education. By analyzing student participation and perceived usefulness, this research contributes to understanding the transformative potential and optimal integration of AI in educational settings.
