Abstract

The emergence of AI technology can be used in learning, especially in Social Sciences with the complex and dynamic object of studying society. With the speed and flexibility of AI, it can help analyze a lot of complex data and provide the necessary information efficiently. The aim of this research is to explore the use of AI in assisting student learning activities, as well as describing the opportunities and challenges in learning Social Sciences. Research subjects included 155 undergraduate students in Social Sciences Education, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires, interviews and literature studies. Data analysis uses the mix method. Data from the questionnaire was processed using percentage techniques to draw conclusions which were then strengthened by qualitative interview results and the support of relevant literature study documentation. The research results show that almost all students use various AI platforms to support social studies learning activities. However, the majority of students consider the use of AI platforms to only help learning to a certain extent, because AI also has many limitations, including the problem of information bias from AI algorithms, infrastructure limitations, ethical issues, security of personal data and readiness of AI users. The greatest opportunity for using AI in social studies learning is being able to create personalized, inclusive, flexible learning, provide feedback, and be in line with student preferences, thereby helping effectively and efficiently in solving complex and dynamic social problems.
