Objective: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of AI-based personalized math learning platforms for K-12 education using Montebello's (2018) framework.
Methods:
- Analyzed 12 global math learning platforms using criteria based on Montebello's framework of Personal Learning Portfolios (PLP), Personal Learning Networks (PLN), and Personal Learning Environments (PLE)
- Evaluated platforms' features and functionalities related to personalized learning
Key Findings:
- Most platforms aligned well with PLP through student/teacher dashboards and reward systems
- PLN features were limited, with diverse learning materials but few peer interaction opportunities
- PLE features were common, especially adaptive content based on diagnostic assessments
- Platforms lacked balanced implementation across all three framework components
Implications:
- Provides insights for effective integration of AI-driven technologies in math education
- Highlights need for more balanced design incorporating peer interaction features
- Suggests empirical verification of design principles' effectiveness is needed
Limitations:
- Focus on specific set of 12 platforms may not represent all available options
- Analysis based on reported features rather than direct testing of platforms
Future Directions:
- Design AI-based platforms that facilitate comprehensive, balanced learning across PLP, PLN, and PLE
- Empirically verify effectiveness of specific design principles for different learners and outcomes
