The effect of interactive AI tools like photomath on developing mathematical concepts in students with learning difficulties: A quasi-experimental study

The Effect of Interactive AI Tools like Photomath on Developing Mathematical Concepts in Students with Learning Difficulties: A Quasi-Experimental Studyrepresents a transformative shift in educational practices. By leveraging AI technologies, educators can tailor learning experiences to meet individual student needs, facilitating a more inclusive environment for those who may struggle with traditional teaching methods. This article to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) applications on development of mathematical concepts among primary-stage students with learning difficulties,Methods A quasiexperimental design was used, and participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group (30 students) taught with AI applications and a control group (30 students) taught with traditional methods. A test to measure mathematical concepts was developed, ensuring its reliability and validity.The findings highlighted a significant positive effect of AI applications, such as Photomath, on the development of mathematical concepts among students with learning difficulties, with the experimental group outperforming the control group. The negative impact that is detrimental to students is the potential for academic cheating and decreased interest in studying mathematics due to dependence on using Photomath. Overall, it is hoped that this research can fill the gap in knowledge and unlock research potential in the field of Photomath mathematics learning This indicates that easy access to Photomath can improve mathematics learning outcomes for this group of students by providing an interactive environment that supports their understanding of mathematical concepts. Although the majority of findings point to the positive impact of using Photomath, it is essential that teachers and other educational personnel undergo training to ensure the optimal use of this application in teaching students with learning difficulties. This study highlights the importance of integrating AI applications into the curriculum, particularly for teaching mathematics to students with learning difficulties. This study recommends providing training programs for teachers to increase their ability to use AI applications effectively to support students' learning.
