TL;DR
The results showed that AI can be used in teaching in order to plan, personalize, tutor, assess and provide feedback, thus enhancing instruction, engagement, critical thinking and performance, and the study suggests that AI should be used as an addition to teaching staff.
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making a substantial impact on education, influencing instruction, learning, and management. This descriptive study aimed to identify the role of artificial intelligence in education, with a focus on its contribution to enhancing the quality of teaching and learning, as emerging from recent studies. In order to conduct a thorough assessment of the use and impact of artificial intelligence in instructional settings, secondary data was collected from published manuscripts. Articles were searched for in databases in the years 2023-2025, and their findings were qualitatively synthesized using thematic analysis. The results showed that AI can be used in teaching in order to plan, personalize, tutor, assess and provide feedback, thus enhancing instruction, engagement, critical thinking and performance. However, such problems as academic integrity, data privacy and security, algorithmic bias, the digital divide, and the need for teacher training may hinder the process. The study suggests that AI should be used as an addition to teaching staff since it should be handled properly, ethically, and with relevant infrastructure to ensure that all students have equal access to education. The research has provided answers that education stakeholders need to consider before engaging in AI-based educational technologies.
