AVENGERS: The impact of AI‐generated videos on learning and memory in upper secondary school for inclusive education

Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is playing an increasingly significant role in the field of education, offering new opportunities for the creation of accessible and personalised learning resources. This study, conducted as part of the AVENGERS – Artificial Video for Education: New Generation Empowerment Resource for Study project, explores the effectiveness of GAI-generated videos in school settings, with particular attention to their application in special pedagogy. The sample, composed of upper secondary school students, included a significant proportion of learners with Individualised Learning Plans. The educational intervention was based on a GAI-generated video built from a passage taken from the AMOS psychometric battery, aimed at assessing comprehension, organisation, and memory. The results suggest that GAI can serve as an effective tool for inclusive education, even in the presence of specific learning needs, provided its use is embedded within a structured teaching framework that combines technology with active methodologies, progressive support strategies, and attention to diverse cognitive profiles.
