Student learning autonomously: Exploring the global impact of artificial intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence can transform education globally by providing personalized learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and facilitating new opportunities for students to engage with advanced technologies. However, adopting AI in education also poses challenges and ethical considerations that need to be addressed. This paper explores the impact of artificial intelligence on student learning autonomously and examines its global implications in education. The method used mixed method research, consisting of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to gather student data. The study's results revealed that the qualitative research showed that students and students perceive AI as having a transformative role in education, enhancing personalized learning experiences, boosting engagement, and optimizing learning practices. The survey results from 25 students' perceptions of AI in autonomous learning also indicated the positive impact they believe AI has on student learning outcomes, with an average of 81% acknowledging AI's benefits. However, about 36% of students expressed a need for further training and support, highlighting the importance of ongoing professional development to harness the potential of AI in education effectively. The integration of findings from both qualitative and quantitative analyses provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of AI in autonomous learning, emphasizing the positive impact while also underscoring the need for addressing ethical concerns and providing comprehensive support mechanisms for students navigating the integration of AI in the classroom. In conclusion, it is evident from the research findings that artificial intelligence significantly and positively impacts student learning autonomously. The study revealed that both students and students perceive AI as a transformative tool in education, enhancing personalized learning experiences, boosting engagement, and optimizing teaching practices.
