Advances in Artificial Intelligence in Education – serie

The book also explores how reimagining teaching methodologies can help to mitigate academic integrity violations due to misuse of GenAI and to teach students to use GenAI with integrity as a research and brainstorming tool.

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into academic research, specifically tailored for higher education institutions and postgraduate research (PGR) students.

This book examines the ongoing emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)  in education. It focuses both on the potential and effects of GenAI and on its limitations, risks and challenges. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact that GenAI has on pedagogy and knowledge assessment across a range of educational fields and disciplines, as well as on teacher preparation, development, productivity and workload.While artificial intelligence has gradually penetrated the field of education over the last 30 years, the emergence of GenAI which we are now witnessing is changing the game. From a perspective that transcends national specificities, the analyses address all levels of education as well as the development of education policies. In terms of epistemology and methodology, the work draws on a variety of research frameworks (theoretical, conceptual, empirical) and methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods research.This work offers a series of suggestions and recommendations, as well as avenues for future research in a range of areas, including AI/GenAI literacy, teacher preparation and development, curriculum updating, pedagogy, knowledge assessment, teacher effectiveness, learner development, education policy and ethics. It also warns of the risks posed by GenAI, particularly in terms of deskilling, breaches of data privacy and research integrity, bias, social justice, ecological sustainability and loss of meaning of the teaching profession.

This volume illuminates the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of learning, particularly in terms of advancing quality and inclusion across educational settings. It explores the diverse ways AI technologies can be harnessed to enhance pedagogical practices, enrich learning experiences, improve educational outcomes, widen access to quality knowledge sources, and empower minds for all. It thereby aligns with the broader objectives of promoting education quality and inclusion for all as outlined in the United Nations' SDG4 - Education 2030 agenda. This book combines multidisciplinary perspectives, offering a comprehensive view on AI in Education (AIED) practices geared towards quality and inclusion. Through a curated collection of evidence-based research, the volume offers pragmatic insights into the intricate AIED nexus.

This book explores artificial intelligence (AI) applications in early childhood and primary education, focusing on practical uses, pedagogical implications, and the future of AI-driven learning environments. It examines how AI can transform educational practices, including personalized learning, ethical considerations, and the development of AI literacy. Through various contributions, it showcases innovative AI integration in language development, teacher education, creative learning, and student assessment, offering educators comprehensive insights into utilizing AI tools to enhance learning experiences.The chapters draw from real-world case studies and research projects, highlighting both the potential and challenges of AI in education. The book emphasizes the importance of preparing educators and students to engage with AI responsibly and effectively, addressing issues such as equity, ethics, and the evolving role of teachers in an AI-driven landscape. With diverse perspectives and practical examples, it serves as a guide for policymakers, educators, and researchers to navigate the growing impact of AI in shaping the future of education.
