Impact of Artificial Intelligence Tools on Students Learning Outcomes and Skills Development

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the education sector, with a focus on their influence on students’ learning outcomes and skill development in Malaysia. While AI offers potential benefits such as personalized learning, real-time feedback, and adaptive learning environments, its adoption remains limited due to a lack of awareness and understanding among educators and students. Using quantitative methods such as questionnaires, this research explores the factors motivating users in Malacca to utilize AI tools for educational purposes, examining aspects including technological adoption, access to AI systems, perceived utility, and ease of use. The findings are expected to address current gaps in public knowledge, highlight reasons for adopting AI in education, and evaluate its advantages, including advancing educational technology, expanding access to high-quality education through personalized learning, and enhancing outcomes and skill development via adaptive systems and real-time analytics. The study also acknowledges its limitation in focusing exclusively on Malaysia and suggests that similar studies in other countries could provide a more comprehensive understanding of AI’s global potential in education, thereby emphasizing the importance of closing the knowledge gap and recognizing the transformative role of AI in advancing education.
