The Cybersociology of Learning as Human-AI Partnerships in the Teaching of Political Education

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into educational ecosystems to cultivate civic skills among students is the central emphasis of this study. Based on cybersociology as a theoretical framework, this study reframes learning as a social negotiation between humans and AI, with the latter influencing the former in terms of civic identity, media literacy, inclusion, ethical reasoning, and data literacy. One hundred and ten first-year students participated. Students' attitudes and competencies were measured before and after the use of the CALLEBAI teaching model using a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire. Students' civic communication, data analysis, tolerance for variety, ethical awareness in political decision-making, and capacity to recognise misinformation all showed significant gains. The study found that human-AI partnerships (via debate simulations, NLP, adaptive platforms, and AI-based data visualisation) address modern political issues like corruption, polarisation, and disinformation in Indonesia.
