EXPERIENCE OF ORGANIZING A CREATIVE OPEN LESSON EDUCATIONAL MARATHON IN THE SUBJECT “ANCIENT WORLD HISTORY” WITH THE HELP OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
The article analyzes the possibilities of effectively using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the educational process. The study is based on the experience of the Creative Open Lessons Marathon on the subject “Ancient World History” held in the 2024/2025 academic year with the participation of first-year students of the Faculty of History at Jizzakh State Pedagogical University. Within the framework of the marathon, educational materials prepared using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Bard, DALL·E, and Canva were integrated into the learning process. The analysis results demonstrated that the use of AI in education fosters the development of students’ historical-analytical and comparative thinking, independent research skills, and creative potential, as well as increases their interest and motivation toward the subject. At the same time, certain methodological and pedagogical issues were identified. Based on this experience, practical recommendations were developed for using AI in the context of digital transformation in education.
