Title
Chatbot technology: A possible means of unlocking student potential to learn how to learn
Abstract
This paper explores the possibility of implementing a constructivist learning environment using chatbot
technology as a basis of enabling students acquire global economy and technological information age
skills and competencies (21st century skills) within the context of a developing country. The suggested
approach is to integrate chatbot technology into the prevailing teaching-learning environment taking
into consideration enabling and constraining factors. Social constructivism provides the basis for
concretization of this approach, where social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of
cognition, with mediation using cultural tools and scaffolding contributing to the process of learning.
