Abstract

Today, artificial intelligence has proliferated to reach almost every wing of daily life, perhaps one of the most sensitive of these being education. While teaching, insofar as it involves training human minds, is still mostly a form of art rather than a regular science, the taking up of this elitist job by computers has triggered much debate and controversy, involving the teaching community as much as the select corporate AI giants who strive to create computers capable of teaching better than humans. This paper surveys the most relevant studies carried out in this field to date. First, it introduces AI and describes the different AI applications in field of education and course assessment. It then goes on to list the most common topics in the educational context that have been resolved through AI and machine learning techniques, and finally, some of the most promising future lines of research are discussed.

  • The integration of AI technologies into teaching and learning began as early as the 1970s, and different forms are now used in various educational contexts.

    “The integration of AI technologies into teaching and learning has begun as early as the 1970s and nowadays, different forms of these technologies are used in various educational contexts, such as the use of personalized applications for learning and assessment and information systems that help handle administrative and management tasks in schools (Al Braiki et al.,”

    The Conclusion (p. 2006) describes current AI applications in education, including personalized learning materials and automatic essay scoring. The Introduction discusses administrative software tools as a possible future change, not as systems already handling school management tasks. No passage found for the claim that AI integration into teaching and learning began in the 1970s (searched: “1970s” and “1970”). (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
