INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRIMARY EDUCATION: TOOLS AND STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR TEACHERS

Abstract

This paper investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools within the primary education system of Pakistan, focusing on the instructional usefulness and feasible classroom strategies. A qualitative library-based research design was utilized in this study to identify and classify the vast repertoire of AI tools and match them to specific instructional strategies. Instructional assistance AI tools are available for lesson planning (Education CoPilot, Curipod, Twee, LessonPlans.ai), visual narrative (Canva, DALL·E), reading assistance (Read Along, Speechify), adaptive learning (Khan Academy Kids, Diffit.me), and gamification of test-taking (Kahoot!, Wordwall). For assessment and feedback (Formative, TeachMateAI), classroom management (ClassDojo, Remind), collaboration for teachers (Notion AI, Trello), and creativity for students (Osmo, Storybird). When well-localized and well-deployed strategically, they also tend to enhance engagement, personalization among primary-level students.
