Revolutionizing Education Through Gamification and AI: Strategies to Reduce Disruptive Behavior

Research output: Conference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Education faces significant challenges in managing disruptive behaviors among primary school students. Gamification and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer innovative strategies to address these challenges by creating personalized and engaging learning experiences. This study presents a novel approach that integrates AI and gamification to generate adaptive educational content tailored to individual student needs. An experimental design employing pre- and post-tests was implemented to evaluate the system's effectiveness. Results indicate a significant reduction in disruptive behaviors, improved classroom environment, enhanced student motivation, and increased engagement. Additionally, students demonstrated better emotional regulation and attention. The findings highlight the critical role of teacher training and adaptability in implementing these technologies successfully. Overall, the integration of AI and gamification shows considerable potential for supporting students' social, emotional, and academic development. This research underscores the practical implications of using AI-driven gamified interventions in education and suggests directions for future studies, emphasizing sustainability, replicability, and the promotion of inclusive learning environments.
