Abstract

The paper discusses the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the facilitation of Self- Regulated Learning (SRL) in teaching. The concept of SRL enables students to plan, monitor, and evaluate what they are learning, an aspect that is becoming increasingly essential in online and hybrid learning systems. Artificial intelligence enables self-regulated learning by providing learners with autonomy and suggesting learning assistance to support them throughout the learning process. The paper relies on empirical research and policy reports to note successful adoption in language learning and general institutional practices. Other issues mentioned in it are over-reliance, ethical issues, and digital equity. Some of the recommendations are related to human-centred design of AI, teacher training, and policy change. In conclusion, the paper is of the opinion that in its exclusively applied form, AI can become a potent supporter of SRL and lifelong learning.
