USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ORGANIZING EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN PRIMARY GRADES

Аннотация

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of education by enhancing both classroom instruction and extracurricular activities. In primary education, extracurricular activities play a crucial role in developing students’ creativity, problem-solving skills, and social interaction. Integrating AI into these activities allows educators to personalize learning experiences, optimize engagement, and track students' progress more efficiently. This article explores the role of AI in organizing extracurricular activities for primary school students, examining its impact on students' engagement, cognitive development, and personalized learning. It also discusses various AI-powered tools and platforms that support activity planning, gamification, andinteractivelearning.

INTRОDUСTIОN Extracurricular activities are essential for the holistic development of primary school students, offering them opportunities to explore their interests, collaborate with peers, and enhance critical thinking. Traditionally, organizing and managing these activities require significant planning and resources, often leading to inefficiencies and limited personalized engagement. With advancements in artificial intelligence, educational institutions can now automate and optimize the process of organizing extracurricular activities. AI-powered tools enhance engagement, tailor activities to individual student needs, and provide real-time feedback to educators. The integration of AI in primary education ensures that students receive a dynamic, interactive, and adaptive learning experience beyond theclassroom. This study explores the application of AI in extracurricular activities for primary school students, analyzing how itimproves learning outcomes, engagement, and activity management. MАTЕRIАLSАND MЕTHОDS To examine the impact of AI on extracurricular activities in primary education, the study employs: Comparative analysis – assessing traditional extracurricular methods versus AI-integrated approaches. Case studies – exploring successful implementations of AI-powered platforms in primary schools. Experimental research – evaluating students' engagement levels and learning progress when usingAI-based extracurricular tools. Surveys and interviews – collecting feedback from teachers, students, and parents regarding AI- driven extracurricularactivities. These methodologies provide a comprehensive understanding of AI’s influence on extracurricular engagement, personalized learning, and cognitive development.
