Empowering Special Education in the Age of Generative AI: Assessing the Impact of IXL on Reading Comprehension and Student Confidence
Abstract
This action research study investigates the integration of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool, IXL, into a special education classroom to enhance students’ reading comprehension skills. The research explores the efficacy of AI technology to not only personalize learning experiences but also provide targeted support for students with diverse learning needs. This study employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches through the analysis of IXL data, classroom artifacts and pre- and post-surveys of the students' feelings regarding their reading comprehension skills. The participants in this study are 9th-12th grade students in a self-contained special education classroom in a suburban area.Citation
