Navigating the Educational Landscape: Applications and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Classroom Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more prevalent, and this is drastically changing the educational landscape. Classroom management is one important area where AI is having an influence. The many uses and difficulties of AI in this field are explored in this study. AI has an infinite number of applications that can improve classroom management. Smart coaching programmes customise lessons to each student's requirements and learning style. Lesson plans and assessments are customised using adaptive algorithms, which enhances the learning process. By anticipating possible disturbances, proactive behaviour detection enables teachers to step in before they become necessary. Automated grading frees up time so that education and feedback may be tailored to each student. Effective instructional approaches and resource allocation are informed by data-driven insights obtained from student interactions with AI tools. But there are obstacles in the way of fully utilising AI in classroom management. It's important to carefully navigate the ethical issues of algorithmic prejudice, data privacy, and student autonomy. It is necessary to address worries about excessive reliance on technology and the possibility of dehumanising the learning process (Içen, 2022). Navigating the intricacies of incorporating AI tools into current educational environments, with their disparate technology frameworks and various learning situations, also poses significant obstacles. This paper critically tries to investigate the difficulties and uses of AI in classroom management.
