| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of the research: The use of this artificial intelligence technology in many universities has led to a real transformation in higher education pedagogy. The main issue is how to design an artificial intelligence-based education model in higher education that, based on pedagogical transformation, guides the teaching-learning process from a static, passive, and teacher-centered state to active, personalized, creative, and interactive learning? The research method was a mixed qualitative research (sensing research and content analysis and conversation with artificial intelligence), the research field included the information domain of artificial intelligence, all articles published between 2021-2025, and all artificial intelligence professors in the country. The purposive sampling method was 35 articles and 21 in-depth interviews to the extent of data saturation, which were selected by screening. Data analysis was based on the classification of open concepts, subcategories, and main categories. The triangulation method was used to ensure validity and validation of the data. In general, the results showed that the AI-based education model in the higher education system is based on pedagogical transformation and includes seven dimensions (personalized learning, adaptive learning, chatbot learning, customized learning, platform learning, future-oriented learning, self-directed learning). The implementation protocol of the aforementioned model is: Chatbot learning: has 7 actions, personalized learning has 5 actions, adaptive learning has 5 actions, future-oriented learning has 5 actions, self-directed learning has 5 actions, platform learning has 4 actions, customized learning has 4 actions.The result is that the AI-based education model, with its seven dimensions, has brought about a pedagogical transformation in higher education and is pushing learning towards personalization, adaptability, and self-promotion. | ||
