Encouraging teacher collaboration and sharing best practices can enrich educational experiences and ensure AI complements human touch.
Deep dives
Teachers Using AI to Enhance Creativity
AI technologies implemented in classrooms worldwide provide innovative approaches to enhance learning. For instance, in Shanghai, students receive real-time calligraphy feedback through integrated AI algorithms, improving individualized learning experiences. Similarly, in Korea, digital tutors in textbooks offer personalized support, revolutionizing traditional learning techniques globally.
Empowering Educators to Drive Innovation
Educational leaders at North Anglia Education encourage experimentation and collaboration among teachers to shape the future of education with AI. By focusing on durable human skills and digital literacy, teachers are equipped to navigate AI integration, fostering student growth through metacognition research and innovative teaching approaches.
Balancing Human Connection with AI Integration
While AI presents opportunities to enhance teaching efficiency and streamline administrative tasks, the essential human connection between teachers and students remains irreplaceable. Encouraging teacher collaboration and sharing best practices globally can enrich educational experiences and ensure AI complements rather than replaces human touch.
Shaping Positive Narratives Around AI in Education
Optimistically, AI in education offers pathways to personalized, engaging, and adaptive learning experiences. However, caution is advised to uphold learner agency, foster identity and belonging, and prevent the instrumentalization of education. Balancing AI's transformative potential with relational, socially-engaged learning approaches is key for a successful educational AI integration.
Fostering Innovative Teaching Practices
Teachers play a pivotal role in leveraging AI tools to energize education through personalized learning and adaptive approaches. Cultivating a culture of experimentation, reflection, and shared successes among educators ensures positive AI integration outcomes, enhancing learning environments and student outcomes globally.
Continuing our miniseries on AI in education with the third episode centred around a global perspective on AI, host Professor Rose Luckin is joined by Andreas Schleicher of the OECD, Dr Elise Ecoff of Nord Anglia Education, and Dan Worth of Tes. This episode and our series are generously sponsored by Nord Anglia Education.
In our third instalment of this valuable series, we head out beyond the UK and the English-speaking world to get a global perspective on AI, and ask how educators and developers around the world build and engage with AI, and what users, teachers and learners want from the technology that might tell people back home a thing or two. We examine how international use of AI might change the way we engage with AI, and we also ask why they might be doing things differently.
Guests:
Dr Andreas Schleicher, Director for the Directorate of Education & Skills, OECD
What are other countries tech and education ecosystems doing to develop and implement AI?
International considerations of ethics and regulation
Is the first world imposing a way of looking at technology and its innovation on the third world? What assumptions are we making, and are we mindful of the context?
Is the first world restricting innovation through specific regulation to change what technology is being built and how, and who might it benefit?
Skills and competencies development can be driven by the needs of business - what priorities for AI education exhibited by international models could the UK adopt or consider?
