THE IMPACT OF AI-POWERED LEARNING TOOLS ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN SECONDARY EDUCATION

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in education to personalize learning, automate feedback, and enhance student achievement. This study investigates the effectiveness of AI-powered learning tools in secondary schools across France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Data were collected from 900 students and 75 teachers in 30 schools using AI-based adaptive platforms. Results indicate that AI tools improve student engagement, comprehension, and performance in mathematics and language subjects. Challenges include digital literacy gaps, ethical concerns, and teacher readiness. Recommendations include integrating AI tools with teacher guidance, providing professional development, and establishing policies for responsible AI use in education.
