This study surveyed educators in higher education about their experiences with messaging platforms and chatbots. Findings reveal key factors for successful adoption to enhance student learning outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Higher Education Pedagogy
- Digital Communication Tools
Background:
- Higher education institutions widely adopt messaging platforms with limited research on teacher impact.
- Understanding teacher perceptions is crucial for effective integration of these tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine teachers' experiences and perceptions of messaging platforms and chatbots in higher education.
- To identify factors influencing the adoption of these technologies to enhance student learning.
- To analyze how teacher demographics (gender, experience, discipline) affect opinions on these tools.
Main Methods:
- A validated survey was distributed to tertiary education teachers in Spain and Spanish-speaking countries.
- Data collection focused on teachers' preferences, opinions, and perceived educational use cases for messaging platforms and chatbots.
- Analysis included demographic variations in teacher opinions.
Main Results:
- Identified key factors influencing the adoption of messaging platforms and chatbots in higher education.
- Highlighted teachers' needs and valuable educational use cases for these digital tools.
- Revealed variations in teacher opinions based on gender, experience, and specialization.
Conclusions:
- Teacher perceptions and experiences are vital for the successful integration of messaging platforms and chatbots.
- Strategic adoption of these tools can significantly enhance student learning outcomes in higher education.
- Further research should consider demographic factors to tailor implementation strategies.
