The integration of psychology and artificial intelligence in e-learning systems to guide the learning path according to the learner's style and thinking

Abstract

Traditional e-learning systems fall short in many respects when it comes to delivering content to learners in the most effective way. Research shows that e-learning systems are not accommodative of learners’ thinking and learning styles, which leads to poor performance. This paper proposes a way through which this problem can be addressed. The researcher believes that the technology of Artificial Intelligence can be integrated with the learning and thinking styles (Psychology) of learners in an e-learning system to provide an enriched learning experience. No attempts have been made so far to integrate Artificial intelligence and Psychology in an e-learning environment, making this paper unique. The paper explores this subject by designing a system that will be termed a “smart e-learning system.” The paper sought to propose Artificial Intelligence algorithms that will be applied to the learning and thinking styles of learners to come up with highly adaptive models for each student that enhances their learning experience. The significant difference in the performance of the control group and experimental group confirms that if psychology and AI are integrated, there is a significant improvement in the student learning experience in an e-learning system. This shows that Artificial Intelligence can work well with Psychology to enhance the learning experience in the e-learning environment.

A Comparative Analysis of Librarians’ Views on AI Support for Learning Experiences, Lifelong Learning, and Digital Literacy in Malaysia and Indonesia

“…Within the context of lifelong learning, the findings of this study affirm and expand upon the literature by highlighting the empowering impact of AI tools in libraries. Building on the works of Elhossiny, Eladly, and Saber [60], Araque et al [61], and Ogata et al [62], our research underscores how AI-driven systems contribute to personalized learning experiences. Librarians, recognizing the motivational enhancement facilitated by AI tools, observe that patrons can autonomously navigate and direct their own learning journeys, aligning with the personalized and adaptive educational experiences discussed in the literature.…”

“…The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in libraries serves as a catalyst for promoting lifelong learning by offering personalized and adaptive educational experiences [60]. AI-driven systems can analyze users' preferences, learning styles, and past interactions to tailor content recommendations, ensuring that individuals receive relevant and engaging resources [61,62].…”

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Online Education: Influence of Student Participation on Academic Retention in Virtual Courses

“…As online education has grown in importance, it has become essential to understand how students interact and participate in these environments. The literature review reveals that while significant progress has been made, most studies still face challenges quantifying and improving student engagement [9].…”

Towards a New Conceptual Model of AI-Enhanced Learning for College Students: The Roles of Artificial Intelligence Capabilities, General Self-Efficacy, Learning Motivation, and Critical Thinking Awareness

“…Given its extensive applications, AI is expected to profoundly reshape management approaches and pedagogies [11][12][13], thereby necessitating support from complementary technologies [7], as shown in Table 1. Currently, investigating the impact of AI capabilities on students' cognitive learning and motivation has become an important research area [12,[14][15][16].…”
