3. Literature Review
Ni et al. (2023) introduced HHSKT, a pioneering model for
knowledge tracing in online education. They addressed challenges
in heterogeneous knowledge structures and sparse interaction
records by leveraging a heterogeneous graph-based approach and
enhancing short-term memory. Their emphasis on interpretable
feedback to learners distinguished it from prior models.
Experimental results demonstrated HHSKT's superiority, with an
average AUC improvement of up to 3% over existing models. This
research enhanced Intelligent Tutoring Systems' effectiveness and
contributed to educational data mining (Ni et al., 2023).
Lampropoulos (2023) discussed the integration of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) in education, which
was poised to revolutionize learning. This convergence led to the
development of immersive Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS),
offering personalized and engaging educational experiences. These
technologies considered learners' psychological, cognitive, and
motivational states, enhancing teaching and learning activities
across educational levels. The implications encompass improved
learning outcomes and increased motivation, addressing evolving
educational needs (Lampropoulos, 2023).
Singh et al. (2022) explored the integration of cognitive intelligence
into an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) to enhance sustainable
education. The primary objective was to mimic human tutor
cognitive intelligence, offering a personalized curriculum to
5
learners. The research employed the Kirkpatrick four-phase
evaluation model to assess the effectiveness of the SeisTutor. The
implications of this work lay in the potential to improve learning
outcomes and adaptivity in educational settings through AI-driven
ITS (Lin et al., 2023; Chrysafiadi et al., 2023).
The Proceedings of RTA-CSIT 2021 offered a comprehensive
insight into recent trends in computer science and information
technology (Xhina & Hoxha, 2021). The document comprised 29
papers covering diverse topics, including machine learning
optimization methods, intelligent tutoring systems in reinforcement
learning, e-learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic,
and performance measurements in Azure databases. This collection
provided valuable implications for researchers interested in the
evolving landscape of technology and education (Xhina & Hoxha,
2021).
Model-Based Learning Analytics (MbLA) fostered collaboration
between teachers and intelligent systems, enhancing the learning
process through transparent student learning and instruction models.
Research revealed an early-stage community comprising diverse
research groups primarily from learning analytics and intelligent
tutoring systems fields. These groups shared a common core
literature but had limited collaboration. Topics explored included
teacher practices (e.g., awareness, reflection, learning orchestration)
and technology (e.g., dashboards, adaptive learning architectures).
However, social and collaborative learning aspects remained
understudied. Future research should focus on interdisciplinary
hybrid teacher-AI approaches, involving teachers early in
development (Pishtari et al., 2023).
A systematic review of the literature on metaheuristic-based
adaptive curriculum sequencing (ACS) approaches was conducted
to identify key implications, objectives, and methodologies. The
study analyzed 61 papers from 2005 to 2018, emphasizing the use

6
of Swarm Intelligence and Genetic Algorithms in addressing the
NP-Hard ACS problem. While various parameters for student and
knowledge domain modeling were considered, intrinsic student
parameters received limited attention. The review was sponsored by
CAPES, CNPq, FAPEMIG, and UFJF. The objective was to classify
and analyze solutions for ACS in online learning systems (Machado
et al., 2021; Normann et al., 2023; Rahayu et al., 2023; Li et al.,
2023).
The literature review on Two Decades of Artificial Intelligence in
Education (AIEd) spanned from 2000 to 2019 and identified key
research topics like intelligent tutoring systems, natural language
processing, and educational robots (Chen et al., 2022). Challenges,
including learner emotion detection, were highlighted. The review
emphasized the significance of addressing these challenges for the
future of AIEd research (Chen et al., 2022). This comprehensive
analysis of 4,519 publications provided valuable insights for
researchers and educators interested in integrating AI technologies
into education settings (Chen et al., 2022).
Wu and Ling (2023) addressed the data sparsity challenge in
Knowledge Tracing (KT) within Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS).
They introduced the Dual-channel Heterogeneous Graph Network
(DHGN), utilizing self-supervised and contrastive learning, and the
Hybrid Attentive Network (HAN) to model long-term and short-
term student intents. Experimental results on real-world datasets
demonstrated significant performance improvements over existing
methods, highlighting the potential to enhance ITS and online
learning platforms (Wu & Ling, 2023).
This literature review explored the role of Voice-based Intelligent
Virtual Agents (IVAs) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
education. The study, conducted by Katsarou et al. (2023), assessed
IVAs' impact on academic achievement, their affordances, and
adoption barriers. It emphasized the potential of IVAs for

7
personalized learning but noted the scarcity of empirical studies.
Educators should consider pedagogical implications and future
research directions for effective IVAs implementation in EFL
education. This research underscored the need for further empirical
validation of IVAs in language learning (Katsarou et al., 2023).
In the study by Tato and Nkambou (2022), the authors tackled bias
in machine learning models arising from imbalanced datasets,
especially in education. They proposed a hybrid neural network,
combining LSTM and CNN, enriched with expert knowledge
through attention mechanisms. Testing in Logic-Muse (an
intelligent tutoring system) and MorALERT (a serious game)
demonstrated improved knowledge tracing and socio-moral
reasoning prediction. The research underscored the importance of
integrating expert knowledge to enhance model generalization,
particularly when data was limited. Funding support was
acknowledged, and a relevant conference presentation was noted
(Tato et al., 2020).
In the study by Shin (2022), prospective mathematics teachers'
integration of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) was examined.
Findings revealed that prospective teachers primarily expressed
concerns about ITSs' informational and personal aspects, often
positioning them as servants rather than partners. Interestingly, those
who considered ITSs as partners demonstrated greater interest in
modifying ITS-integrated teaching practices and exhibited higher
levels of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge
(TPACK). This underscored the importance of enhancing teacher
training programs to foster a collaborative mindset in ITS
integration (Shin, 2022).
The field of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) merged AI
and learning sciences, focusing on creating adaptive learning
environments and personalized educational tools (Hamal et al.,
2022). AIED addressed modern educational challenges like

8
personalized learning, mobile learning, educational games,
MOOCs, and augmented reality (Hamal et al., 2022). Researchers
employed methodologies like data mining and learning analytics to
optimize learning experiences and offered a glimpse into a future of
accessible, tailored, and effective education.
