The Effectiveness of AI-Enhanced Generative Chatbots and Adaptive Feedback in Developing Mathematical Reasoning and Probability Problem-Solving Skills among Sudanese Secondary School Students: An Experimental Study (Grade 11- Port Sudan, Sudan)

الملخص

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using generative chatbots enhanced with artificial intelligence and adaptive feedback in developing mathematical reasoning skills and solving probability problems among secondary school students in Port Sudan, Sudan. The researcher employed a quasi-experimental design, with a sample of 48 third-year secondary students randomly divided into experimental and control groups. A validated and reliable achievement test was developed to measure the targeted skills (recall, understanding, application), and data were collected during the 2024–2025 academic year. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group across all three skills, with the most notable improvement observed in application skills (mean = 72.3). Additionally, gender-based differences were identified, with female students outperforming their male counterparts in post-test performance following the use of generative chatbots. The study recommended the integration of generative AI tools in mathematics instruction, the design of training programs for teachers, and the expansion of future research to include other subjects and educational regions.
