HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As AI profoundly impacted education in 2024, Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L) today released new insights from students and educators. The data reveals that US college students have an increasingly positive perception of AI and are applying it to study more actively and efficiently, while educators see new opportunities to enhance instruction.
Pearson, in partnership with Morning Consult, conducted its third consecutive semester surveying US college students to track their evolving use and perception of AI. The survey of more than 1,000 students shows an 11-percentage-point increase in students reporting that AI has helped them get better grades and study more efficiently.
Pearson user data shows AI tools promote active and efficient studying
This fall, Pearson learning science researchers analyzed student study behavior in eTextbooks with embedded AI study tools from fall '23 through spring '24. The analysis showed many students advancing from passive to active study, which fosters better retention of information and is associated with a deeper understanding of concepts. Active study behaviors include notetaking, self-testing and spaced practice, rather than behaviors like memorization and cramming, which are characteristic of passive studying.
Key insights from the fall 2024 usage trends include:
In addition, Pearson usage data shows students who used AI-generated flashcards in their eTextbook were nearly three times more likely to return and practice than students without AI-generated flashcards, indicating high engagement.
In Pearson's MyLab and Mastering study platform, AI sessions increased 95% from fall 2023 to fall 2024, indicating that students are more comfortable receiving step-by-step guidance to help them solve the questions they answered incorrectly.
"This data underscores the importance of active learning, and the role AI can play in enhancing student engagement," said Emily Lai, vice president of learning impact measurement. "We employ learning science principles to create features that promote active learning to help students succeed and develop skills for their academic and professional lives. We are excited to see AI making quality learning easier for today's busy students."
Faculty see opportunity for AI implementation
Higher education faculty are increasingly seeing the potential of AI in the classroom. According to a Pearson survey conducted with Intertwine Insights, 77% of nearly 3,500 US faculty members envision using AI to enhance their teaching methods.
Top ways faculty are interested in using AI:
This growing interest in AI by faculty complements the positive student data, highlighting a broader trend of AI integration in education.
More than two million US higher education students currently have access to AI study tools in more than 100 MyLab and Mastering titles and nearly 350 eTextbook titles, with many titles featuring AI in global editions. Thousands of US educators also have access to AI instructor tools in nearly 60 MyLab and Mastering titles that allow them to efficiently create customized assignments for their students. The availability of these features to students and educators marks Pearson's commitment to learning experiences with AI features for studying, learning and instruction.
Pearson's application of generative AI is part of a product development process that is driven by learning science and subject matter experts. With more than 80% of its products now digital or digitally enabled, Pearson is committed to the responsible application of AI to enhance learning experiences.
