Identifying the fields of applying artificial intelligence in education: qualitative research

In today's society, artificial intelligence technologies are developing rapidly and have created profound changes in all aspects of human life, especially in the field of education.

The current research was conducted with a qualitative approach and a Meta-synthesis method. The research population included all 1,500 articles, of which 37 documents were selected and analyzed based on the review of the title, abstract and content of the document. In order to analyze the data, the coding method was used in such a way that open coding (117 codes), central codes (19 codes) and then by specifying selected codes (4 codes) the fields of applying artificial intelligence in education were determined.

The findings of the research showed the fields of applying artificial intelligence in education in 4 categories, teaching, learning, evaluation and management, teaching includes: increasing the ability of educators to teach, providing customized educational content, supporting the professional development of educators, personalized teaching, teacher Smart, smart education; Learning includes: personalized/adaptive learning, dialog bots, smart learning, smart platforms for self-learning, exploratory learning environment, individual counseling to learners; Evaluation includes: automatic grading of assignments and exams, learning process control, learner performance prediction, teaching evaluation, adaptive/personalized feedback; And management includes: smart campus, sharing and storing a large amount of data, time management, international cooperation between educational systems in the context of artificial intelligence and automation of administrative tasks such as admission and registration, attendance and absence, etc.

Conclusion :

The adoption and use of artificial intelligence in education offers significant opportunities to improve educational systems.
