Study how AI can Provide Timely and Constructive Feedback to Students, Fostering a Growth Mindset and Resilience
Abstract
The paper explores how the use of AI-driven feedback systems can enhance performance as well as other major psychological traits like a growth mindset and resilience in the students. The AI feedback systems are quick and personalized in giving a response that leaves the student with no option but to identify her or his mistake correctly, thereby improving their academic performance significantly. Highlighting effort and learning from mistakes, AI nudges the students into viewing challenges as opportunities for growth; it is the principle of a growth mindset. The AI feedback also promotes resilience as, serving the students with continuous support, it inspires the students to persist in difficulties and, therefore, reinforces the ideology that success is the outcome of effort and perseverance. However, the study further goes to reveal the limitations of AI in being able to provide emotional support. Such AI systems are effective at delivering constructive academic feedback but lack the emotional sensitivity that a human teacher provides. Emotional guidance remains essential in assisting students in dealing with frustration, maintaining confidence, and staying motivated during awkward conditions. Thus, findings highlight that there should be more of a hybrid approach toward utilizing AI systems-not to supersede human instruction-where such AI systems complement it. Education could provide best support to students in their academic and emotional development by combining the strengths of AI feedback and teachers' empathetic guidance, thus providing well-rounded and resilient learners.
