Next-Generation Research Education: AI-Integrated WeChat and Game-Based Learning Strategies

This project addresses the challenge of fostering research skills and self-regulated learning (SRL) in higher education by introducing the AI-Integrated WeChat and Game-Based Research Learning (AI-GRL) model. Grounded in Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, the model combines game-based scenarios, AI-driven WeChat feedback, and analytics to enhance active inquiry, reflection, and experimentation. Implemented in collaboration with XJTLU teachers and students, the project will produce a scalable, practice-oriented product to enhance research-led learning. Outcomes will be shared with AoFE’s educational network, including Xipu Class and partner schools, ensuring a practical impact beyond publications.
