Artificial Intelligence as a Harbinger of Engagement and Collaboration

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) in education is at the top of the agenda for education today in developing learners' AI knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values in the 21st century. This chapter examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on education, with a focus on enhancing learner engagement. It explores the key elements of engagement—behavioral, emotional, and cognitive—and their correlation with improved educational outcomes. The chapter delves into AI applications, such as intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning paths, highlighting their role in providing personalized and interactive learning experiences. Additionally, it discusses AI-driven feedback systems and collaborative tools that foster active participation and critical thinking. While AI offers significant potential to revolutionize education, the chapter also addresses the ethical considerations involved in preserving the human aspect of teaching. Through a balanced analysis, this chapter underscores the importance of integrating AI to create inclusive, effective learning environments.
