Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in STEM education is an innovative approach, requiring the integration of complex AI techniques and educational approaches. Following the PRISMA 2020 methodology and utilizing the Google Scholar database, this systematic review examines the convergence of STEM and AI to analyze trends, applications, and impacts. The results highlight the potential of AI in combination with STEM education to personalize learning, as well as the challenges for teachers in developing appropriate pedagogical approaches. In conclusion, this study adds to the literature by providing guidelines for future research and educational practices in integrating AI into STEM education.
