Details | This study evaluates the potential of a chatbot, originally designed for language learning, to be adapted for wider applications in self-directed learning settings, specifically within Project-Based Learning (PBL) frameworks. The research focuses on the chatbot's utility in promoting questions regarding goal setting and reflection by providing personalized notifications. Through interviews with new PBL instructors, the study identifies key challenges, including the scarcity of class time allocated for these activities, a lack of training in intervention methods, and a general underestimation of their significance. Addressing these challenges, the study proposes the augmentation of the chatbot's functionality by incorporating access to a case database. This enhancement is anticipated to foster a constructive cycle of goal setting and reflection, thereby offering robust support to instructors in their pedagogical endeavors. |
