DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ INDEPENDENT RESEARCH SKILLS IN MATHEMATICS THROUGH THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

This article explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fostering students’ independent research skills in mathematics. With the rapid development of digital technologies, AI-based tools offer new opportunities for personalized and interactive learning. The study emphasizes how AI platforms can support students in problem-solving, hypothesis testing, and self-directed exploration of mathematical concepts. By using intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning applications, and automated feedback tools, students are encouraged to engage in deeper inquiry and develop critical thinking skills. The article also highlights the importance of AI in creating differentiated tasks that cater to individual learning levels and in promoting motivation through interactive environments. Furthermore, the research analyzes challenges such as digital literacy, teacher preparedness, and ethical considerations in integrating AI into mathematics education. Findings suggest that the effective use of AI not only improves learning outcomes but also strengthens students’ ability to work independently, preparing them for future academic and professional success.
