Abstract

This study investigates integrating data-driven learning and Generative AI within the Meta-Cognitive Resource Utilization Framework (MCRUF) and its potential to enhance educational outcomes. It highlights how AI-driven tools can personalize learning experiences, foster meta-cognitive skill development, and offer real-time feedback to improve learner autonomy and engagement. However, the study identifies key challenges, such as over-reliance on technology, digital literacy gaps, data privacy concerns, and unequal access to AI resources. The findings suggest important implications for educators and policymakers, emphasizing the need for ethical guidelines, equitable access, and a balanced approach combining AI assistance with active learner participation. Future research should focus on long-term impacts and strategies to ensure responsible implementation of these technologies.

Author Biographies

Rajiv Verma, Research Scholar, School of Management, Sir Padampat Singhania University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India

Rajiv Verma, as a researcher with a focus on academics and admissions marketing, my primary aim is to identify research gaps and optimize student recruitment from regions such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, the North East, and parts of Southern India, along with international markets like Nepal, Bangladesh, and Africa. My work combines a deep understanding of marketing strategies with academic frameworks, enabling me to assess and refine approaches that drive both effective pedagogy and enrollment in these regions. By employing a research-driven and customized methodology, I have consistently developed strategies that not only improve AI-driven implementations but also enhance academic and financial outcomes for the universities I work with. My ability to align theoretical insights with practical financial considerations allows me to contribute meaningfully to both the academic and financial sustainability of higher education institutions.
