Exploring the prospects of using artificial intelligence in education

Abstract

The primary objective is to investigate the potential applications of AI in education to enhance its quality and elevate students’ knowledge levels. A comprehensive experiment was conducted, involving the integration of AI technology into the learning process of 279 students. A test was administered at the outset, categorizing students into four groups based on personality types. The results demonstrated a discernible increase in the knowledge levels of students who underwent personalized AI-enhanced learning. In the final assessments, students in the experimental group achieved higher scores in English (4.4 out of 5), computer science (4.7), economics (4.6), and anatomy (4.8), compared to the control group, which received significantly lower scores (English: 3.8, Computer Science: 3.9, Economics: 4.1, Anatomy: 4). Student feedback indicated that AI rendered the learning experience more comfortable and convenient, with an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5. For instructors, the experience was predominantly positive, with a high appraisal of the effectiveness of new methodologies, scoring 4.8 out of 5. The lowest rating, 3.8 out of 5, pertained to student engagement, possibly due to the predominant role played by AI in monitoring and controlling the learning process, leaving the teacher with limited direct observation.
