Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has become an increasingly popular topic in recent times. Since its conceptualization, research on AI education has gained significant popularity across multiple disciplines. However, there have been few attempts to undertake a critical scoping review and synthesis of the accumulated knowledge investigated throughout the years. The main research objectives of this chapter are (a) to identify theories, methodologies, and AI techniques that have informed prior AI education research and (b) to examine the emerging themes investigated in previous studies and identify the strength, weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT)analysis for AI education research. To fulfill the research objectives, 32 research articles were analyzed, synthesized, and assessed based on the themes, methods, and frameworks applied in AI education research. The review found four key themes (development phase, application phase of ChatGPT, SWOT analysis phase, and human-AI interaction phase) necessary to address some limitations in current AI education research. Also, we found the progression of emerging technologies into three phases: the short-term (2021-2025), mid-term (2025-2030), and long-term (2031+). Therefore, this study represents a significant contribution and serves as a valuable reference for future AI and emerging technologies studies in education. ? 2025 selection and editorial matter, Mohamed Lahby.
