AI - Supported Thinking: Improving Mathematical Reasoning and Communication with Snorkl App
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, classroom habits, formative assessment, learning experience, thinking aloudAbstract
This article’s aim is to present the results corresponding to the first stage in the implementation process of thinking-aloud routines towards solving mathematical problems using Snorkl App, an AI-supported educational tool whose beta version is available at the moment of submitting this article. The goal of using this platform is to improve the strategic thinking for problem solving in a group of fifth grade students in a public school of Texas, within the school year and prior to their TELPAS (Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System) and STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests. The implementation, carried out throughout an academic semester, has shown an improvement in the students’ skills for problem solving and thinking communication. Scaling up the use of this platform along the whole group level is considered as one of the upcoming steps for this process.
