Keywords:
Assessment Improvement, Educational Content Recommendation,Ethical Considerations, Machine Learning (ML) in Education, Personalized Learning, Predictive AnalyticsAbstract
This research paper explores the profound influence of Machine Learning (ML) on education, addressing enduring issues through innovative solutions. Emphasizing personalized learning, predictive analytics, educational content recommendation, and assessment improvement, the paper aims to comprehensively analyze ML's multifaceted role in education. Drawing on an extensive review of contemporary literature and real-world case studies, it highlights how ML algorithms are fundamentally transforming educational practices. The analysis delves into potential benefits, ethical considerations, and challenges associated with the integration of machine learning in the classroom, presenting a nuanced viewpoint. Additionally, the paper outlines prospects and research directions, envisioning a data-driven educational paradigm driven by intelligent systems tailored to individual learners. Positioned as a valuable resource, the paper targets educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in leveraging ML to revolutionize education, unlocking the full potential of each student. By serving as a guide, this research paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on shaping a more adaptive and effective educational landscape through the integration of ML technologies.
