초록

In the construction industry, professionals are required to have advanced problem-solving skills to adeptly handle the dynamic challenges inherent to project execution. These skills are crucial, as they enable professionals to effectively navigate the complexities and unpredictability of construction projects, ensuring timely and cost-effective completion. This paper explores an innovative approach to enhance the problem-solving skills of construction students through the integration of conversational AI-based serious games into their educational curriculum. The objective of this research was acquired by following three phases: hazard interaction, problem identification, and AI-guided text-based communication. This approach creates an engaging learning environment, simulating real-world construction challenges and problems, focusing on the excavation phase of a construction project as a case study for students to interact with and communicate with the Conversational AI agent through text-based prompts. In the future, the proposed study can be used to evaluate how AI agents can help enhance problem-solving skills by promoting emotional engagement among participants. This research sheds light on the potential of integrating conversational AI in education, providing valuable insights for educators designing construction management training programs by underscoring the importance of engagement in real-world problem-solving scenarios.
