The Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on students’ learning experience
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many aspects of life, and
education is no exception. Technological tools and applications are rapidly being
integrated into the learning process, offering fresh approaches to learning. This is
especially obvious in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was argued by
(Mckinsey, 2022) that survey respondents' use of technological devices in the
classroom has risen by an average of 19%, with 67% of pupils using them for
learning. This research paper elaborates on the two-way impact of AI on the student
learning experience, diving into both the potential benefits and challenges associated
with the implementation of AI.
AI undoubtedly impacts students' learning experiences, but it still needs to be
determined whether this impact is positive or negative. According to studies by the
EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) found that 64.6% of students
identified convenience and time-saving as the main benefits of using AI in the
learning process. This opens new doors to students, one of which is the creation of
personalized learning environments. A personalized learning environment is
considered an instructional tool that focuses on individual students' interests and
learning styles. Huang et al. (2023) and Seo et al. (2021) state that individualized
learning can provide immediate assistance to students during the learning process.
This brings attention to how artificial intelligence can enhance learning outcomes and
help students be more enthusiastic and creative. A 2016 study proved this, students
using online learning platforms to learn, scored 30% better on standardized
examinations than students learning in conventional educational classrooms (Baker,
Wiliam & Berliner, 2016). Research (Hooda et al., 2022; Sousa et al., 2021) highlights
that AI improves student learning outcomes and allows instructors to properly assess
student performance and assist problematic students. Other studies, such as those
conducted by (Chan & Hu, 2023; Ng et al., 2023), indicate that AI has a major
influence on student learning outcomes in higher education.
Although AI has the potential to enhance student learning outcomes, there are worries
that it might produce unreliable results and influence grades (Seo et al., 2021). Seo et
al. 's study (2021) found that three-quarters of students who participated in the study
identified that AI's lack of explanation may make it difficult to blame the AI even if it
is correct in the fact. Some of the obstacles and risks to consider include fears
regarding the use of artificial intelligence technology, such as security of information
and privacy issues, as well as concerns about the dependability and accuracy of the
system (C. K. Y. Chan & Hu, 2023; Sousa et al., 2021). Additionally, the introduction
of AI in education can lead to excessive reliance on technology, which can have
profound consequences if students fail to develop fundamental thinking skills and
problem-solving abilities (Miller, 2015). It is supported by a 2023 study that found
more than one-half of students worry about depending too much on GenAi tools (C.
K. Y. Chan & Hu, 2023). Last but not least, using AI in the learning process can
come with many digital distractions, affecting students’ academic performance, which
is supported by McKoy’s finding that pupils utilize AI technology 11.43 times on
average during their academic day, and it distracts them around 21% of the time
(McKoy, 2016).
The general consensus among researchers is that students should not rely too much on
AI technology but instead use AI wisely and appropriately. Studies have shown that
AI makes learning experiences more effective and efficient. I hope to fill the research
gap in the literature on the use of AI in learning experiences by collecting research
from different countries to suggest the ideal frequency of AI use to maximize its
benefits and minimize its harms.
