THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED LEARNING TOOLS ON STUDENTS PERFORMANCE AND ENGAGEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Authors:

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has catalyzed a significant transformation in teaching, learning, and assessment practices. This review examines empirical evidence on the impact of AI-based learning tools such as intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, chatbots, and predictive analytics on student academic performance and engagement. Drawing from 39 peer-reviewed studies published between 2017 and 2024, the review employs a systematic methodology guided by PRISMA protocols to identify thematic patterns across diverse higher education settings. The findings reveal that AI technologies significantly enhance academic performance by offering personalized learning paths, real-time feedback, and data-informed instructional support. Additionally, AI fosters behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement by promoting interactive, student-centered learning environments. Tools such as emotion-aware chatbots and multimodal tutors contribute to increased motivation and learning persistence. However, the review also highlights critical challenges including algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, institutional readiness, and ethical governance. While many institutions have embraced AI-driven innovations, disparities in infrastructure and digital literacy present barriers to equitable implementation. The discussion aligns these findings with educational theories such as Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory, emphasizing the pedagogical value of AI when ethically and thoughtfully integrated. This review contributes to knowledge by offering a nuanced synthesis of AI’s dual potential as both an enabler and disruptor in higher education. It concludes with practical recommendations for responsible AI adoption and identifies gaps for future research on scalability, inclusion, and long-term outcomes.
