Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational management has emerged as a transformative force that has transformed administrative processes, teaching practices, and student learning experiences. This research examines the impact of adopting artificial intelligence in Iran's secondary schools, examines its consequences for educational management, and addresses challenges and opportunities in the field of Iran's educational system. This study examines the role of artificial intelligence in administrative processes, teacher practices, and student learning outcomes through a hybrid approach including surveys, interviews, and document analysis. The findings highlight the potential of AI-based systems to simplify administrative tasks, increase teaching effectiveness, and improve student engagement and learning outcomes. However, ethical considerations such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and digital divide issues must be addressed to ensure responsible and equitable use of AI technologies in education. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the integration of artificial intelligence in educational management and provides insights and recommendations for educational policy makers, practitioners, and researchers.
