The Role of Digital Humanities and Machine Learning in Enhancing Critical Thinking among Select B. Tech ESL Students: A Case Study

The paper examines how digital humanities & Machine Learning have influenced student critical thinking performance in the language classroom. Participants in this study include students from the “The Apollo University (TAU)”, Chittoor, located in Andhra Pradesh, who are all learning English as a second language. The objective of this research is to investigate the role of digital humanities in assisting students’ capability on critical thinking to flourish in the academic environment. The study looks into a prospective direction for future research designs including the introduction of technological approaches into the arena of academic inquiry. To assess the impact of digital humanities on first year B. Tech students, we must examine how teachers use it in the classroom and how students feel about it. The study takes a qualitative method, analyzing the viewpoints of both students and teachers on the usage of digital humanities in the classroom. The findings of this study support the notion that traditional classroom learning should be augmented with digital resources. Both instructors and students were keen to try out new methods to education made feasible by the development of AI technology instruments. They think that this sort of environment is more favorable to learning than more traditional ones.
