Abstract

This study explores the impact of Generative AI and digital learning tools on student engagement and academic achievement in middle school classrooms. With the rapid integration of AI technologies like ChatGPT and educational tools such as learning management systems and gamified apps, the research aims to understand how these innovations affect student motivation, participation, and academic outcomes. A mixed methods approach was employed, involving surveys of 200 middle school students, academic performance records, and classroom observations. The results reveal strong positive correlations between the use of AI tools, student engagement, and academic performance. The study highlights how personalized, interactive learning experiences facilitated by AI enhance cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement, leading to improved academic outcomes. Findings emphasize the potential of digital tools to support differentiated instruction and foster student-centered learning, offering actionable insights for educators and policymakers in integrating technology to optimize educational practices in middle school settings.
