Abstract

This study investigated the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in teaching literature, specifically focusing on short stories. An online survey of literature teachers was used, in which 40 literature teachers from different Saudi universities participated. The survey results indicated that literature teachers recognized the potential benefits of AI tools, including personalized learning experiences and increased student engagement. Teachers believed that AI tools could improve learning outcomes by enhancing students' comprehension of literary techniques and devices. However, the survey also revealed challenges related to teacher training and concerns about the quality of AI-generated content. The study suggests several recommendations, including stakeholder engagement, comprehensive teacher training, ethical guidelines, continuous evaluation of AI tools, and ensuring that AI complements rather than replaces human expertise. The study concludes that AI tools, when implemented thoughtfully and supported by ongoing research, have the potential to enhance short story education by providing customized and engaging learning experiences that enhance interactions between students and texts.

短篇小说与人工智能工具：探索性研究

本研究调查了人工智能（AI）工具在文学教学中的整合情况，尤其侧重于短篇小说。本研究对文学教师进行了在线调查，来自沙特不同大学的 40 名文学教师参加了调查。调查结果显示，文学教师认识到人工智能工具的潜在益处，包括个性化学习体验和提高学生参与度。教师们认为，人工智能工具可以提高学生对文学技巧和手法的理解，从而改善学习效果。然而，调查也揭示了与教师培训相关的挑战以及对人工智能生成内容质量的担忧。研究提出了若干建议，包括利益相关者的参与、全面的教师培训、道德准则、对人工智能工具的持续评估，以及确保人工智能补充而非取代人类的专业知识。研究得出结论，人工智能工具在实施过程中若能深思熟虑并得到持续研究的支持，就有可能通过提供定制的、引人入胜的学习体验来加强短篇小说教育，从而增强学生与文本之间的互动。
