Systematic Review of Literature on Expert System in Education.

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in addressing challenges of education is an innovation in education which addresses a series and sequence of problems that humans cannot solve. Specifically, Expert Systems (ES) in education have helped tremendously in handling tasks that the human expert has limitations in handling. This review explores the use of ES in education to identify the trends and the possible gaps in the application of ES to improve education. Four (4) academic databases were searched to retrieve research works related to ES in education. These are; academia, research gate, google scholar and semantic scholar. The found results were filtered to avoid duplicates, and the titles and abstracts were then screened before the full text was read and captured in the literature. The findings reveal more than 80% of the research works on ES in education are centred on higher education leaving basic education which is the foundation for growth and development in education. Also, over 70% of the literature was on teaching and learning at the expense of resource management.
