II. Theoretical Framework:

The exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education is grounded in theoretical foundations that provide essential guidance for understanding the dynamics of AI integration. In this section, the researcher delves into three prominent theories that form the framework for understanding the interplay between AI and education: Constructivism, Social Presence Theory, and Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).

Constructivism, propagated by Piaget and Vygotsky in the 20th century, as cited by Van Geert (2017), asserts that learning is an active process shaped by learners' interactions with their environment (Piaget, 1950; Vygotsky, 1978). Within the context of AI-driven literature and language education, Constructivism aligns with AI's potential to offer personalized learning experiences tailored to individual students' needs and progress (Lourenço, 2012). AI-powered tools facilitate engagement with literary content that matches learners' cognitive levels, fostering active participation and deeper understanding.

Social Presence Theory, advocated by Short, Williams, and Christie in 1976, emphasizes the significance of social interactions in online learning environments (Short et al., 1976). According to this theory, learners' perception of social presence influences their engagement and learning outcomes. In AI-driven education, Social Presence Theory underscores AI's capacity to simulate interactions, providing learners with a sense of companionship and collaboration as they navigate literature and language education resources.

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) concept by Vygotsky, presented in 1978, emphasizes the role of social interaction and collaborative learning in advancing cognitive development (Vygotsky, 1978). It defines the difference between what learners can achieve independently and with guidance. In AI-enhanced literature and language education, the ZPD theory highlights AI's potential as a supportive scaffold. AI-driven tools offer adaptive feedback aligned with learners' ZPD, aiding them in bridging the gap between their current abilities and potential.

In the context of this study, these theories offer valuable insights into the integration of AI in literature and language education at St. Michael’s College, Iligan City.
