  • Measurement balance: Self-reports on self- regulated learning (SRL) and autonomy are should also important, but incorporate trace or log data like time spent on tasks, revision cycles, and help-seeking behaviors. This approach is increasingly recommended by learning analytics research to validate SRL. Implementation variability: Different trades, such as electrical installation, machining, and welding, might respond differently based on how easily their tasks can be digitized and assessed. • CONCLUSION This study shows that AI-powered adaptive learning systems can significantly enhance outcomes in Technical and Vocational Education and Training learners’ master (TVET). They not only help technical skills but also foster essential learning behaviors like self-regulated learning and learner autonomy. The research supports a model where AI adaptivity acts as a structured support system, steering effective practices, towards facilitating reflection through feedback and analytics, and gradually handing over control to the learners themselves. This perspective aligns with current studies that view AI as a tool that boosts regulation and autonomy when it is designed to provide adaptive support rather than replace human learning processes. learners For TVET institutions, this has practical and strategic implications: investing in AI-adaptive learning is not just about upgrading technology; it is a way to enhance competency-based training by smoothing out uneven progress, providing immediate feedback, and encouraging learners to take charge of their own mastery successful implementation requires careful design choices (like However, journey.

Looking ahead, future studies should explore longer interventions, involve multiple trades and institutions, and combine learning analytics with performance rubrics to better understand how adaptive systems influence self-regulated learning and autonomy over time. By taking these steps, the field can transition from a general optimism about AI in education to providing evidence-based guidance for creating adaptive systems that truly enhance technical skill development and foster independent professional learning.

  Future research could strengthen and extend the contributions of this study in several ways. Larger, multi-site studies involving diverse learner populations would help determine the broader applicability of AI-supported task delivery in high-stakes exam preparation. Longer- term interventions are needed to examine whether gains in receptive and productive skills are sustained over time. Research should also explore optimized feedback designs, including simplified or bilingual explanations, to address cognitive load challenges identified in this study. Additionally, studies incorporating motivational supports—such as gamification, adaptive reminders, or structured reflection tools—may help sustain engagement and learner autonomy across extended courses. Finally, future evaluations should systematically document the technical reliability of AI platforms to better understand its influence on learner trust, persistence, and outcomes.
