The field of education is witnessing a significant shift with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various aspects of learning. Recent developments suggest a strong focus on enhancing student engagement, improving learning outcomes, and increasing accessibility in education. AI-powered tools are being designed to support students in complex problem-solving, programming, and critical thinking, while also providing personalized feedback and guidance. Furthermore, researchers are exploring the potential of AI in promoting metacognition, scaffolding, and reflective planning in educational settings. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Artificial Intelligence in Elementary STEM Education, which highlights the need for interoperable architectures and teacher-centered implementations, and Scaffolding Metacognition in Programming Education, which provides design considerations for AI-powered coding assistants that support metacognitive engagement. Overall, the field is moving towards creating more inclusive, effective, and personalized learning experiences with the help of AI.
