Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Personalized Learning and Student Success: Evidence from Economics Education

Öz

Integrating an Artificial Intelligence into education has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing student success across diverse academic settings. This study examines how student outcomes, including academic performance, engagement, and overall well-being, can be improved through the strategic use of aArtificial Intelligence tool. By leveraging AI-driven based tools and technologies, educators can personalize learning experiences, deliver timely feedback, and identify individualized learning pathways tailored to students' specific needs. Drawing on primary data collected from undergraduate economics courses, this research presents a model for navigating AI integration to support personalized learning and academic achievement. We used A simple correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between assignments, tasks, and student performance, allowing for the early identification of students at risk. These insights were used to inform targeted interventions through AI-supported learning with course specific Chat Bot (AI agent.). Further the study analyzed how much overall course grade improved after the integration of personalized learning tool given to targeted at Risk Students. Results gave evidence of improvement, which further open the door for all the educator with any disciple to include in any class size to improve and help the students in their academic success pathways. This study demonstrates the result oriented idea, and could be base for further study in this area.
