TY - JOUR T1 - Happy Student In the Age of Artificial Intelligence AU - Fidan, Mustafa PY - 2024 DA - May Y2 - 2024 JF - Artificial Intelligence Theory and Applications JO - AITA PB - İzmir Bakırçay Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2757-9778 SP - 57 EP - 75 VL - 4 IS - 1 LA - en AB - This paper discusses the potential benefits of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into education and how it can affect students' well-being and happiness. The study used a phenomenological design and involved 46 teachers who observed their students' experiences with AI and happiness. The findings were organised under five main themes. First, AI provides personalised learning opportunities that empower students. Second, AI enables teachers to focus more on teaching by reducing administrative tasks. Third, AI increases students' engagement and motivation, leading to more effective learning experiences. However, the study also highlighted ethical concerns that need to be addressed to prioritise students' welfare. Finally, the integration of AI into education prepares students for an AI-driven future and positively influences their learning experiences. These findings can benefit students, teachers and administrators by providing valuable insights into how AI can be utilised in education.
