Abstract
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative opportunity for education, yet its full potential in learning environments remains largely unexplored, particularly regarding its impact on student engagement and personalized learning. This study examines the role of AI in education, focusing on its contribution to the learning process and its impact on student motivation. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,294 Indonesian students (51.16% female, 48.84% male) selected through random sampling. Data was gathered using an online questionnaire that assessed AI usage, perceived effectiveness, motivation, and participation before and after AI implementation. The findings indicate that students viewed AI as a valuable tool for academic tasks, particularly for summarizing content and writing essays. Most notably, motivation increased significantly after AI usage, with mean scores rising from 2.9 to 4.1, suggesting a strong correlation between AI use and active participation (r = .69). These results suggest that AI technologies effectively enhance student motivation and engagement, fostering a more interactive learning experience. These findings imply that integrating AI into education should be guided by clear pedagogical strategies to enhance motivation and participation while supporting creativity and critical thinking.
