| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, specifically ChatGPT, in chemistry education in Kazakhstan, aiming to identify challenges, opportunities, ethical considerations, and the practical effectiveness of these tools in enhancing learning outcomes. The study explored three key areas: the effectiveness of AI integration into chemistry education, the ethical and privacy concerns associated with student use of AI tools, and the primary advantages and disadvantages of employing AI in chemistry instruction. Using a mixed-method approach, the research combined quantitative surveys among 108 chemistry education students from Kazakh universities and qualitative expert evaluations of AI-generated chemistry solutions. The theoretical framework drew from existing literature on AI integration in education, ethical implications, and pedagogical impacts. Findings indicated that students strongly prefer ChatGPT due to its efficiency, clarity, and ability to facilitate independent learning, primarily utilizing it for problemsolving and exam preparation. However, significant limitations were observed, including accuracy issues, logical inconsistencies, and inadequate linguistic adaptation to the Kazakh language. Ethical concerns highlighted were academic integrity, dependency on technology, and unequal access to premium AI features. The dissertation contributes theoretically by providing empirical evidence of AI’s educational benefits and limitations, and practically by recommending structured AI integration strategies, specialized training, enhanced linguistic localization, and ethical guidelines. Ultimately, this research informs educators, policy-makers, and developers aiming to harness AI responsibly and effectively in chemistry education. | |
