Artificial intelligence in teaching: transforming educational practices

Аннотация

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is changing the face of education. It's making teaching methods better, tailoring learning to each student, and taking care of those tedious administrative chores. This article brings together the latest research to look at how AI is being used in education, with a particular eye on smart tutoring systems, virtual reality, and tools to help with administrative tasks. We've looked closely at a big review by Nguyen and colleagues (2023) to see how AI makes teaching more effective and efficient, while also tackling issues like cheating. Other research we've considered shows how AI can create learning environments that adapt to each student's needs. The study shows that AI-powered tools, like chatbots and virtual reality, really boost student involvement and how courses are taught. However, we need to think carefully about ethical issues such as fairness and data privacy. This article highlights how AI can change education for the better, but also pushes for a smart approach to using it, making sure everyone has equal access.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we teach, providing teachers with new tools to improve their lessons, tailor learning to individual students, and simplify administrative duties. AI, which is "a branch of computer science focused on addressing various cognitive challenges typically linked to human intelligence" [4; 2389], has come a long way from simple computer systems to sophisticated platforms such as web-based intelligent education systems, humanoid robots, and chatbots. This paper reviews recent research to examine how AI is used in teaching, how it affects educational results, and the challenges it presents. AI applications in teaching. AI is transforming education through intelligent tutoring systems, virtual reality, and collaborative robots. As Nguyen et al. (2023) explain, "The evolution of AI started with computers and computer-related technologies, then moved on to web-based and online intelligent education systems, and ultimately integrated embedded computer systems with other technologies, humanoid robots, and web-based chatbots to carry out teaching tasks and functions" [4; 2387]. These developments empower educators to provide top-notch, tailored instruction. Intelligent Tutoring Systems, or ITS, act like personal tutors by giving customized feedback and lessons. They're particularly good at teaching subjects such as math and languages, adjusting the material to fit each student's specific requirements [4; 2393]. Take AutoTutor, for instance; it uses conversational agents to really make students think, which helps them understand the material more deeply [1]. Studies have even shown that students using ITS perform better, with an improvement of 0.43 standard deviations compared to those in traditional classroom settings [3] Virtual Reality (VR) and 3D technologies are changing the way students learn, especially in medical education, by making it possible to learn procedures and anatomy through simulations. Nguyen and colleagues (2023) point out that "virtual reality, 3-D technology, and highly interactive 363 STUDENTLERDI BIRLESTIRIW: XALÍQARALÍQ IZERTLEWLER HÁM PÁNLER BOYINSHA BIRGE ISLESIW 1-XALÍQARALÍQ STUDENTLER KONFERENCIYASÍ.

Research has found that using VR in teaching can boost student engagement and retention by as much as 20% when compared to standard teaching methods [2]. AI-powered chatbots are being used to respond to student inquiries and distribute course materials, while collaborative robots, or cobots, are helping with tasks such as pronunciation practice. In the realm of education, research indicates that chatbots have the capacity to enhance student satisfaction by as much as 15% in online learning environments [6]. Impacts on teaching effectiveness. Artificial intelligence significantly boosts the effectiveness, efficiency, and overall quality of teaching. Nguyen and colleagues (2023) state, "The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into teaching or as a teaching tool has noticeably affected this area of education… enhancing teachers' effectiveness, efficiency, and overall quality of work" [4; 2393]. Some major benefits are: Tailored Learning: Systems such as DeepTutor adapt content to individual needs, thereby improving information retention. "Student-focused systems like DeepTutor and AutoTutor promote customization and personalized information delivery according to each learner's abilities and requirements" [4; 2394]. Research compiling multiple studies found a substantial effect size of 0.57 for personalized learning systems [8]. Enhanced Content Delivery: AI helps ensure that the material presented matches students' learning levels, op
