description This study explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational data mining (EDM), human-assisted machine learning (HITL-ML), and machine-assisted teaching, with the aim of improving adaptive and personalized learning environments. A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted, analyzing 370 articles published between 2006 and 2024. The research examines how AI can support the identification of learning patterns and individual student needs. Through EDM, student data are analyzed to predict student performance and enable timely interventions. HITL-ML ensures that educators remain in control, allowing them to adjust the system according to their pedagogical goals and minimizing potential biases. Machine-assisted teaching allows AI processes to be structured around specific learning criteria, ensuring relevance to educational outcomes. The findings suggest that these AI applications can significantly improve personalized learning, student tracking, and resource optimization in educational institutions. The study highlights ethical considerations, such as the need to protect privacy, ensure the transparency of algorithms, and promote equity, to ensure inclusive and fair learning environments. Responsible implementation of these methods could significantly improve educational quality.
