Abstract :

Paying attention to students' problems and planning to solve their educational problems is one of the inevitable missions of the educational system of every country. In this regard, the emergence of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence have been able to solve some of the educational problems of students with greater speed and ease. Therefore, the decision to use this technology easily and without considering the situation and conditions governing the society does not seem reasonable. Paying attention to this matter, taking into account disabled and weak students in learning, requires more considerations. Based on this, the current research was conducted with a qualitative approach with the aim of studying and investigating the fields of application of artificial intelligence programs in order to support academically disabled students. The study population of the research included all specialists, academics, researchers and experts. Among these people, 29 people made up the sample under investigation and the determination of these people was using the theoretical saturation technique. The data of this research has been analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that the use of artificial intelligence requires the existence of effective requirements, including "organization", "user-centered" and "comprehensiveness". In this way, there are many application obstacles, including: They are "structural deficiencies", "procedural deficiencies", "scientific and experimental gaps" and "user limitations". Another theme of the research was "dual consequences", which includes "positive consequences" and "negative possibilities".
