How AI-Enabled Adaptive Learning Is Revolutionizing Education Globally – Davies-Akarevu
Angela Davies-Okarevu, a renowned educational technology consultant, has highlighted the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) in education across the globe.
In a statement she said in most developed climes AI-enabled adaptive learning is revolutionizing the way students learn, providing personalized education that caters to individual needs and abilities.
Davies- Akarevu said that traditional teaching methods often practiced in Africa fall short in addressing the diverse needs of students noting it is high time we upgraded our educational system.
Explaining further, she said, “Adaptive learning, powered by AI, uses algorithms to continuously assess student performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses. This data when collected is then used to adjust the curriculum, providing tailored lessons that match each student’s needs.”
She stated that if adopted, AI-enabled adaptive learning has a profound impact on students from diverse backgrounds, including those with learning disabilities, English language learners, and those from low-income households.
She noted that it helps build confidence, fosters a growth mindset, and develops essential skills like critical thinking and problem-solving in the students.
“AI-enabled adaptive learning is a game-changer in education, government, curriculum developers and all stakeholders must collaborate to integrate this into our learning system in Africa.” Davies-Akarevu emphasizes.
As this technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see a more inclusive and effective education system, where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The educational technology consultant explained the benefits of AI-enabled adaptive learning noting that it extends beyond academic achievement.
“It helps build confidence, fosters a growth mindset, and develops essential skills like critical thinking and problem-solving.
As students make progress at their own pace, they become more engaged and motivated, leading to improved attendance and reduced dropout rates.” She assured.
She further stated that adaptive learning bridges the gap between urban and rural education adding that students in remote areas can access high-quality educational resources, previously unavailable to them.
“This equalizes access to education, providing opportunities that were once out of reach.”
