Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance science learning within the STEM education approach is a significant advancement with the potential to revolutionize education. This paper explores four main strategies for utilizing AI: personalized learning, creating experiential learning environments, enhancing management and assessment efficiency, and fostering future skills. These strategies focus on adapting content to individual learners through intelligent tutoring systems, leveraging AI-powered virtual labs and simulations for realistic hands-on learning, using AI to reduce teachers’ administrative burdens via automated assessment and deep learning analytics, and developing essential computational thinking and AI literacy for the 21st century. However, implementing AI in education presents significant challenges, including a lack of personnel knowledge and skills, infrastructure and budgetary constraints, and issues related to ethics, privacy, and data security. Furthermore, potential negative impacts include increased educational inequality if technology access is uneven, and the risk that over-reliance on AI might diminish students’ critical thinking skills. To maximize the benefits of AI integration and mitigate these risks, this paper recommends crucial approaches. These include substantial investment in professional development, meticulous planning of infrastructure and policies concerning data usage and ethics, promoting continuous research and evaluation, and fostering collaboration among all stakeholders. Comprehensive implementation of these recommendations will enable educational institutions to fully harness AI’s potential, creating high-quality and sustainable STEM learning for youth in the digital education era. While AI offers strategies to enhance STEM learning, its successful integration requires overcoming challenges like skill gaps and ethical concerns through professional development, careful planning, and stakeholder collaboration to create high-quality, sustainable education.
