Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are becoming a common trend in educational research. To reach the full potential of these technologies, a comprehensive overview is needed to establish a theoretical basis for empirical studies. Guided by the SWOT framework, Positive and negative factors of using AI technologies in K–12 education are described in the current study. The results reveal multiple strengths and opportunities. Indeed, AI excels at analyzing vast volumes of educational data, and it is adaptable enough to fit in with pre-existing frameworks of technology integration in education. AI opportunities include the possibility of creating new learning experiences without space-time limits, and skills development such as curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking. The literature review also identifies negative factors linked to the the application of AI technologies in K–12 education, namely, weaknesses related to the lack of organizational support, practitioners’ trust in AI, and the veracity of the results. The threats revealed by the selected literature are generally linked to ethics. Based on these results, a SWOT matrix has been developed and a set of recommendations for the benefit of educators and policy-makers has been provided.
