Evolving Educational Horizons : integrating AI with Innovative Teaching and Assessment Strategies

This systematic review examines 39 studies to identify Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs) and Assessment Tasks (ATs) aligned with Bloom's Taxonomy, highlighting their role in fostering critical thinking and creativity. TLAs such as simulations, problem-solving, and gamification, combined with peer assessments and formative feedback, support higher-order cognitive skills. However, the review reveals a critical gap in integrating AI into these frameworks, despite AI's potential to personalize learning and enhance assessments. This absence limits the development of adaptive learning environments that meet individual needs. Future research should prioritize AI-driven tools to create flexible and personalized educational pathways. Integrating AI into education is essential to promote higher-order thinking, improve instructional design, and address contemporary learning demands. By leveraging data-driven insights, AI could transform teaching practices and enhance student outcomes. [Publisher's Text].
