METHODOLOGICAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE EFFECTIVE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS IN TEACHING ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY WRITING

Abstract

This article explores the methodological opportunities for the effective use of artificial intelligence tools in developing argumentative essay writing skills among ninth-grade students. In the modern education system, fostering students' academic writing culture, developing critical thinking skills, and enhancing their ability to present well-reasoned arguments are among the key educational objectives. In this context, artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot provide new opportunities for organizing the learning process. The article describes effective approaches to integrating AI tools at each stage of the essay-writing process and presents a methodological practice implemented within the framework of the special course "Training in Argumentative Essay Writing." In addition, the study discusses the importance of maintaining the principles of academic integrity when using artificial intelligence in educational activities.
