Artificial Intelligence in Education: Transforming Learning Environments and Enhancing Student Engagement

Abstract

This study investigates the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on contemporary education, focusing on its influence on learning environments and student engagement. Integrating AI technologies into educational systems increasingly personalizes learning experiences, facilitates adaptive learning pathways, and enhances intelligent tutoring systems. This research gathered data from 422 educators affiliated with universities in Iraq. The analysis was conducted using the JASP statistical software. The results indicate that AI significantly affects the learning environment and student engagement. The study recommends leveraging AI's potential to alleviate educators' administrative burdens, allowing them to concentrate on interactive and skill-based instruction. Furthermore, it discusses future implications of AI in education, including exploring emerging technologies such as virtual reality and their capacity to revolutionize learning further.
