The Use of Chatbots in the Teaching of the Hungarian Language

The Development of Algorithmic Thinking Within the Framework of the Hungarian Language Course

Abstract

Today, education, the teaching-learning process, is undergoing many changes. 21st century skills increasingly emphasise the importance of collaboration, self-development and lifelong learning. In addition, the potential for using artificial intelligence in education is growing. In teacher training, we have combined the teaching of semantics and grammar (vocabulary, morphology, syntax) in the Hungarian language course with the development of algorithmic thinking in mathematics. This gives scope for integration between subjects and the theory of multiple intelligences. Furthermore, using modern technological advances and rethinking the traditional frontal, paper-based teaching, we redesigned our lessons based on the SAMR model, giving students the task of playing the role of a chatbot and creating flowcharts and mind maps using a computer application. The description and results of this experimental research and methodological innovation are summarized in this presentation.
