Leveraging AI in Education: Strategies for Successful Integration

Abstract

This paper focuses on the findings of an active research study on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into a Fintech engineering course over the past two years. The investigation uncovered both advantages and disadvantages associated with AI, including its impact on writing instruction, critical thinking development, and student perceptions. Strategies for effectively utilizing the potential of AI in education are discussed, focusing on practical approaches to maximize its benefits while minimizing its risks. Key strategies include: Educating students about the capabilities and limitations of AI tools; Evaluating the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated feedback; Fostering collaboration between humans and AI systems; Developing students’ metacognitive awareness through the utilization of Metacognition-Based Student Feedback Literacy (MSFL), enabling them to effectively assess and make informed decisions about AI use.
