EdTech for Empowerment: Leveraging AI and Virtual Simulations to Transform Physics Learning
Author : S Anne Josephine Mary and Dr. M Vakkil
Abstract :
This paper examines the transformative capacity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and virtual simulations within physics education, focusing on their role in student empowerment. Contemporary physics instruction often contends with challenges related to abstraction and student engagement. AI-enhanced tools offer personalized learning pathways, adaptive feedback, and efficient assessment mechanisms. Concurrently, virtual simulations provide immersive, interactive environments that foster conceptual understanding and practical skill development. This conceptual analysis synthesizes existing literature to demonstrate how the integration of these technologies can cultivate active learning, enhance problem-solving abilities, and promote a deeper engagement with complex physical phenomena. The findings underscore the combined potential of AI and virtual simulations to democratize access to high-quality physics education and equip learners with essential 21st-century competencies.
