Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education: Advancing Adaptive and Personalized Learning
Abstract
The integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into adaptive and personalized learning represents a transformative shift in the educational landscape. This research paper investigates the impact of incorporating generative AI into adaptive and personalized learning environments, with a focus on tracing the evolution from conventional artificial intelligence methods to generative AI and identifying its diverse applications in education. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the evolution of generative AI models and frameworks. A framework of selection criteria is established to curate case studies showcasing the applications of generative AI in education. These case studies are analysed to elucidate the benefits and challenges associated with integrating generative AI into adaptive learning frameworks. Through an in-depth analysis of selected case studies, the study reveals tangible benefits derived from generative AI integration, including increased student engagement, improved test scores and accelerated skill development. Ethical, technical and pedagogical challenges related to generative AI integration are identified, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and collaborative efforts between educators and technologists. The findings underscore the transformative potential of generative AI in revolutionizing education. By addressing ethical concerns, navigating technical challenges and embracing human-centric approaches, educators and technologists can collaboratively harness the power of generative AI to create innovative and inclusive learning environments. Additionally, the study highlights the transition from Education 4.0 to Education 5.0, emphasizing the importance of social-emotional learning and human connection alongside personalization in shaping the future of education.
