THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENHANCING TEACHER PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

This systematic review investigated the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing teacher productivity and efficiency in educational settings. The study analyzed 87 peer-reviewed publications from 2015-2024, identifying key AI applications, implementation challenges, and effectiveness across different educational contexts. Thematic analysis revealed that AI technologies significantly reduced administrative workload, personalized student feedback processes, and enhanced instructional planning capabilities. The findings demonstrated that successful AI integration requires adequate technical infrastructure, comprehensive professional development, and attention to ethical considerations. Implementation barriers included technological readiness, teacher skepticism, and inconsistent institutional support. This research provides evidence-based insights for educational stakeholders seeking to leverage AI tools for improving teaching efficiency while maintaining pedagogical quality. The study also highlights the need for collaborative development approaches between educators and AI designers to create context-sensitive solutions that address actual classroom needs rather than technology-driven innovations.
