AI Tutoring Systems and Their Influence on Student Engagement

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the educational landscape by introducing intelligent and adaptive learning environments. Among these innovations, AI Tutoring Systems—also known as Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) have demonstrated considerable potential in enhancing student engagement, personalization, and learning outcomes. This research article investigates the structure, working mechanisms, and educational impact of AI Tutoring Systems on student engagement. The study reviews existing literature, explores system architecture, analyses engagement metrics, and discusses challenges and future directions. Findings indicate that AI-driven tutoring platforms improve behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement through adaptive feedback, personalized content delivery, and real-time performance monitoring. However, concerns related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and teacher dependency remain critical. The paper concludes that AI Tutoring Systems, when implemented ethically and strategically, can significantly enhance student engagement and academic performance.
