Abstract

flipped classroom chatbots Artificial Intelligence or Cybernetics Higher Education
The combination of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies and flipped classrooms remains underexplored in higher education. The present study employed tailored AI-based chatbots in a graduate-level course comprising 16 master's students. The flipped format was based on student-led lectures supported by chatbots trained on selected academic material. A post-course survey, combining quantitative items and open-ended responses, was analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic synthesis. Students reported improvement in skills such as public speaking and literature synthesis. On a 7-point scale, skill enhancement from the flipped format scored higher (M = 5.27, SD = 1.41) than from chatbot usage (M = 3.85, SD = 1.21), with overall positive course satisfaction (M = 5.11, SD = 1.57). Despite technical issues that affected usability, students valued the potential of GenAI as a learning aid. Lastly, the findings suggest the need for refined integration strategies that promote critical and responsible AI use in pedagogical settings.
