UNDERSTANDING THE EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF AI CHATBOTS IN MATHEMATICS:
A systematic review
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are increasingly being integrated into mathematics learning. While previous reviews have explored the impact of chatbots on education, limited attention has been given to how mathematics students specifically utilise these tools for learning. To address this gap, this study systematically reviewed 26 articles published between 2020 and 2026, following the PRISMA guidelines, to examine the benefits, and challenges associated with the use of chatbots in mathematics learning. The findings suggest that AI chatbots have considerable potential to enhance both cognitive and affective learning outcomes. Nevertheless, concerns remain regarding ethical considerations and the accuracy, reliability, and suitability of chatbot-generated solutions to mathematical problems. The insights derived from this review provide valuable recommendations for practitioners, policymakers, and chatbot developers.
AI CHATBOTS IN TERTIARY MATHEMATICS LEARNING
A Systematic Review of Impact and Challenges
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are increasingly being integrated into mathematics learning. Although previous reviews have examined the impact of chatbots on learning, they have not explicitly examined how mathematics students utilise chatbots to learn mathematics. To address this gap, following the PRISMA guideline, this study systematically reviewed 17 articles published between 2020 and 2026 to summarise the positive impacts and challenges of chatbot use for learning mathematics. The findings showed that chatbots provide a compelling platform to enhance students’ cognitive and affective learning outcomes. However, the findings also raised concerns about ethical issues, accuracy, reliability, and the suitability of using chatbots to solve mathematics problems. Lessons learned from this review provide recommendations to practitioners, policymakers, and chatbot developers.
