The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has become

increasingly relevant, particularly in enhancing student learning and academic


performance. The study by Guleria et al. (2023) highlights the ethical concerns
and challenges associated with using AI, particularly ChatGPT, in academic
settings. It emphasizes issues such as academic integrity, the risk of plagiarism,
and students' reliance on AI-generated content, which can undermine critical
thinking skills. Additionally, the research points out challenges in assessing the
quality of information provided by AI. However, it also underscores the benefits
of AI, including personalized learning experiences and immediate feedback,
which can enhance student engagement and academic outcomes. The study
concludes that effective implementation of AI requires proper training for both
students and educators to maximize its advantages while addressing ethical
concerns.

Benefits of AI in Education

AI technologies facilitate personalized learning experiences tailored to


individual student needs. According to Sahito et al., (2020), AI-driven platforms
can analyze vast amounts of student performance data to create customized
learning paths. This personalization allows students to progress at their own
pace, addressing their unique strengths and weaknesses. For instance, adaptive
learning systems can modify content difficulty based on real-time assessments,
ensuring that students remain engaged and challenged.

The use of AI tools in education has been linked to increased student


engagement and motivation. (FXMedia Team, 2024) found that students utilizing
AI-based learning platforms reported higher levels of interest in their coursework.
Interactive AI applications, such as gamified learning environments, can make
complex STEM concepts more accessible and enjoyable, fostering a positive
learning atmosphere. This heightened engagement is particularly beneficial in
STEM fields, where students often struggle with abstract concepts.

One of the significant advantages of AI in education is the provision of


immediate feedback. AI systems can evaluate student responses in real-time,
allowing for prompt identification of misconceptions and areas needing
improvement. Monika Hooda et al., (2022) highlight that immediate feedback
from AI applications significantly enhances students' problem-solving skills in
mathematics and science. This timely intervention helps students correct errors
and reinforces learning, ultimately leading to better academic performance.

AI technologies provide educators with valuable insights into student


performance and learning patterns. By analyzing data collected from AI systems,
teachers can identify trends, monitor progress, and tailor their instructional
strategies accordingly. This data-driven approach enables educators to make
informed decisions about curriculum design and intervention strategies,
ultimately improving student outcomes (Kacper Rafalskie, 2024).

Wang et al. (2023) highlight how AI-driven adaptive learning systems can
enhance

academic performance by adjusting content delivery based on real-time


assessments of

student engagement and understanding. This personalization is crucial for


international

students, who may face language barriers and cultural differences that affect
their

learning. Moreover, AI applications such as chatbots and predictive analytics can

facilitate academic advising and support.

Vistorte et al. (2024) emphasize that AI-powered advising systems can operate
around

the clock, providing students with immediate access to information and reducing
the

stress associated with academic uncertainties. This accessibility is particularly


beneficial

during transitional periods, such as the shift from high school to post-secondary

education, where students often struggle to meet academic writing standards.


The use

of AI in academic advising can alleviate the burden on faculty, allowing for more
efficient
communication and support. However, the deployment of AI in education is not
without

its challenges.

As elaborated in the study by Milloria et al. (2024), "Investigating Al-Integrated


Instruction in Improving Academic Performance of Senior High School Students in
the Philippines," their research underscores the potential of Al-driven approaches
in enhancing students' learning outcomes.

AI also aids in delivering high-quality educational resources across geographic


and economic barriers, contributing to equity in education. However, significant
challenges remain, including technological barriers such as poor infrastructure
and connectivity, lack of educator training, and the high costs of implementing AI
tools in schools (Roberts-Yates & Silvera-Tawil, 2019; Leshchenko et al., 2020).

Tools such as text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and adaptive learning systems


allow educators to better address individual learning needs while automating
routine tasks to focus on creativity and emotional support (Becker et al., 2018;
Seldon & Abi)

Challenges of AI in Education

A significant challenge in implementing AI in education is the disparity in


access to technology. Students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may lack
access to the necessary devices and internet connectivity, leading to a digital
divide. The World Economic Forum (2021) emphasizes that this inequity can
exacerbate existing educational disparities, hindering the potential benefits of AI
for all students. Ensuring equitable access to AI technologies is crucial for
maximizing their impact on learning.

While AI can enhance learning, there is a concern that students may become
overly reliant on these technologies. Zhai et al., (2024) argue that excessive
dependence on AI tools can hinder the development of critical thinking and
problem-solving skills. It is essential for educators to strike a balance between
utilizing AI and encouraging independent learning, ensuring that students
develop the cognitive skills necessary for success in STEM fields.
The use of AI in education raises significant concerns regarding data privacy
and security. Niall McNulty(2024) discusses the ethical implications of collecting
and analyzing student data by AI systems. The potential for data breaches and
misuse of personal information necessitates robust data protection measures.
Educators and institutions must prioritize student privacy and ensure compliance
with relevant regulations to build trust in AI technologies.

The successful integration of AI in education requires adequate training for


educators. Many teachers may lack the necessary skills and knowledge to
effectively implement AI tools in their classrooms. Professional development
programs focused on AI literacy and pedagogical strategies are essential for
empowering educators to leverage AI effectively (Kizilcec et al., 2021). Without
proper training, the potential benefits of AI may not be fully realized.

Resistance to adopting AI technologies can also pose a challenge. Some


educators and institutions may be hesitant to embrace AI due to concerns about
its effectiveness or fear of job displacement. Overcoming this resistance requires
clear communication about the benefits of AI and its role as a supportive tool
rather than a replacement for educators (Zhai et al., (2024).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has permeated into the academic ecosystem, which
is both an opportunity and a challenge for students. For the Grade 11 STEM
students of ZNNHS - Turno, they have a whole new experience how they can use
the AI in their studies. They can also offer tailored learning solutions, improve
analytical skills, and assist in various academic activities, thus facilitating better
education performance. One thing that can act as a roadblock to this is
unfamiliarity, but4 potential overreliance on technology, and equity issues and
ensuring effective implementation. We shall seek the advantages and
disadvantages in this introduction behind the use of AI in an academic sphere,
particularly on STEM students of ZNNHS - Turno.

Impact on Academic Performance

The impact of AI on academic performance is complex and multifaceted.


Numerous studies indicate that AI can enhance learning outcomes through
personalized instruction, immediate feedback, and data-driven insights. A meta-
analysis by Science Direct (2024)concluded that when integrated thoughtfully
into the curriculum, AI tools can lead to significant improvements in students'
academic performance, particularly in STEM subjects. However, the effectiveness
of AI largely depends on how these technologies are implemented and the extent
to which educators are trained to use them effectively.

Moreover, the positive impact of AI on academic performance is often


contingent upon addressing the challenges associated with its use. Ensuring
equitable access to technology, providing adequate training for educators, and
prioritizing data privacy are essential steps in maximizing the benefits of AI in
education.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

During a global survey of students conducted in mid-2024, it was found that a whopping 86
percent said they were using artificial intelligence tools in their schoolwork. Almost a fourth
of them used it daily. (Veera Korhonen, 2024)

Survey: 86% of Students Already Use AI in Their Studies

In a recent survey from the Digital Education Council, a global alliance of universities and
industry representatives focused on education innovation, the majority of students (86%) said
they use artificial intelligence in their studies. And they are using it regularly: Twenty-four
percent reported using AI daily; 54% daily or weekly; and 54% on at least a weekly basis.
(Rhea Kelly, 2024)

This would allow students to supplement their learning with instant explanations and
creative insights, which in turn will help them understand challenging STEM subjects.
Moreover, accessibility will allow students from the most disadvantaged regions to bridge
gaps in learning because of insufficient resources. Teachers also can benefit from using it as a
supplementary tool for creating innovative lesson plans or activities. Proper training and
guidance on how to effectively integrate ChatGPT into education are, however, needed for
ethical and meaningful usage.

THEORERICAL FRAMEWORK

This research explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on students and its
influence on academic purposes. By examining how AI technologies transform learning
environments, this study aims to highlight the potential benefits and challenges of integrating
AI-driven tools into education. With the continuous development of Artificial Neural
Networks (ANN) and Deep Learning (DL), AI has emerged as a key driver of innovation,
reshaping education and fostering personalized learning experiences.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in today’s world,


significantly shaping how people think, act, and interact. According to Chan and Zary (2019),
AI-enhanced digital technology plays an essential role in improving efficiency and adapting
to the needs of modern life. This is particularly evident in the development of ANN and DL,
which allow AI to analyze and process vast amounts of data with precision and speed. These
advancements have revolutionized the way technology supports education, decision-making,
and everyday activities.

For students, AI-powered tools have introduced innovative ways of learning, fostering
personalized experiences that cater to their unique needs and abilities. Chan and Zary (2019)
emphasize that AI not only improves the functionality of educational systems but also
influences how students engage with technology, enabling more interactive and adaptive
learning environments. By leveraging AI advancements, students can develop critical
thinking, enhance their creativity, and prepare for a technology-driven future.

Applications and tools driven by AI technologies, such as intelligent robots and


adaptive learning systems, are increasingly being used by educators and learners in both K-12
and university settings. These AI-driven tools offer opportunities to achieve personalized
learning, meeting the individual needs of each student (Della Ventura, 2017). Because every
learner is unique—with distinct learning styles, abilities, and needs—it is challenging to
address these differences using traditional educational methods. However, AI enables
instructors to tailor learning experiences on a case-by-case basis (Della Ventura, 2017).

Through AI-powered personalization, learners can become more motivated, engaged,


and independent in their learning process. Della Ventura (2018) and Wang (2017) further
highlight how AI technologies enhance engagement, particularly for students with learning
disabilities. By providing tailored support, AI ensures equitable access to learning
opportunities, empowering all students to reach their full potential.

Caceres (2018) highlights the parallels between the initial skepticism surrounding
calculators in education and the current debates on the integration of AI in academic settings.
Just as calculators transitioned from being met with resistance to becoming indispensable
tools for learning and assessment, AI is following a similar trajectory. While there are fears
about the implications of AI—such as concerns over tools like ChatGPT disrupting
assessments—history suggests that education systems can adapt and emerge stronger through
innovation.

The integration of AI in higher education, though met with skepticism, will ultimately
enhance teaching and learning practices. However, this transformation requires active
participation and adaptability from educators. As with the adoption of information and
communication technologies (ICT), academics will play a central role in ensuring that AI is
effectively and meaningfully integrated into education. By embracing AI as a tool rather than
resisting it, higher education can navigate this new learning curve and leverage AI’s potential
to strengthen educational outcomes.
