Can AI keep students motivated, or does it do the opposite?
Matched: AI
AI tools can boost student motivation under the right conditions, but effects vary. Studies show benefits when tools are used consistently, teachers provide guidance, and students maintain agency. Purpose-built platforms like Khanmigo and ALEKS outperform general chatbots for sustained engagement. However, overreliance can erode confidence once AI is removed. Cost barriers also raise equity concerns, as specialized tools remain inaccessible to many students who could benefit most.
