E-Kalaiva AI Technology in the Education of Social Work Students: Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to investigate the prospects of using AI in the education of social workers and social work in general. The research methodology encompassed both pre-test and post-test assessments administered for closed examinations across five academic disciplines, all of which were instructed through the utilisation of the e-Kalaiva AI platform. The findings of the current investigation revealed that a 6-month implementation of the e-Kalaiva AI program, rooted in artificial intelligence (AI), enriched with machine learning (ML), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) components, significantly enhanced the educational process within the domains of biology, computer science, sociology, social work, and psychology. It was ascertained that AI has the potential to aid educational institutions in achieving sustainable development objectives. AI could be a promising tool in social work in the UAE and globally.
