Improving Higher Education: Investigating the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Instruction Experiences for Students

With the revolution of the new generation of information and communication technology, artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing. This innovation has drawn attention to the field of education, especially in universities. Therefore, the current study aims to improve higher education by examining the impact of artificial intelligence on the instructional experiences of students, which is conducted systematically. The search was carried out in databases such as Wiley, Jstor, Web Science, Scopus, Magiran, Noormags, and Jihad Daneshgahei, using keywords such as Instruction, Higher education, and Artificial intelligence. In the systematic search, a total of 1020 English and Persian articles were identified. 25 duplicate articles were determined and removed. Then, 995 articles were left for title and abstract review. Among them, 880 articles were excluded for not meeting the necessary criteria. Subsequently, 115 other studies were examined, and finally, 17 articles were selected based on research criteria. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence presents opportunities, challenges, and consequences in higher education. It also has a positive impact on students' learning, motivation, attitude, critical thinking, creativity, and self-efficacy. Based on the analysis of the findings, it can be concluded that the use of this technology improves the Instruction process and student performance.
