A pedagogical framework for integrating AI-driven administrative management in community engaged learning

This article proposes a structured pedagogical approach to integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into administrative processes within business education. Employing a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) framework, students collaborate with small businesses or educational institutions to implement AI tools that enhance administrative efficiency. The approach fosters the development of advanced digital reasoning instruments (ADRI), critical management skills, and a nuanced understanding of the ethical use of AI in professional environments. By combining experiential learning with real-world problem-solving, the proposed model prepares students for the evolving demands of modern administration.
