https://doi.org/10.20868/abe.2024.3.5411Keywords:
AI-based personalized learning, student engagement, academic achievement, educational technology, systematic literature reviewAbstract
This research proposal aims to use a systematic literature review to examine AI-based personalized learning approach’s efficacy in fostering student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement at the university level. The studies to be reviewed will specifically be those that have previously done research using AI technologies for personalizing educational interventions in line with the learner’s general strengths, needs, and preferences for learning. By evaluating the trends, common AI technologies used, learning outcomes, and students’ general attitudes, the theoretical and pragmatic potentials of AI to make education more effective by ensuring personalized learning for all will be determined. The proposal also highlights the various challenges of the approach, such as the ethical dilemma and the extent to which teachers will choose human over –technology interaction, to ensure the approach is responsibly administered. This research will contribute significantly to understanding the impact of AI on personalized learning.
