Artificial intelligence in the classroom: does she revolutionize lessons?

Artificial intelligence in the classroom: does she revolutionize lessons?

In the Ostalbkreis, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has already started in school lessons, and many students actively use this technology. According to Schwäbische Post evaluate the influence of AI on school life and discuss should change traditional tasks such as homework. Many teachers see the classic approach of writing homework as obsolete and call for a redesign of the GFS work, in which the understanding of the topic and the oral presentation focus more on the focus.

A central concern of the teachers is that the PowerPoint representations can be generated by AI and should therefore no longer serve as a basis for evaluation. Nevertheless, the ability to communicate in foreign languages ​​remains essential. Translation is still considered an important method to promote language skills, even if AI can convert texts into other languages. Another topic is the role of homework that can be done quickly by using AI. However, teachers emphasize that the students should preserve the skills for independent learning.

possible uses of AI in class

The teachers in the Ostalb district see potential in the application of AI, in particular to support programming and translations in class. However, it is important to emphasize that technical aids are not allowed during tests. Some schools are already using interference to prevent abuse. From the point of view of the teachers, there should be a further development of the exams to introduce digital components and enable students to judge independently without having to fall back on AI.

In order to optimize dealing with AI at school, school measures are discussed, such as media education and computer science lessons, which are to be intensified from class 5. Teachers must also be trained in order to use AI in the classroom. This requires well-trained teachers, suitable computer rooms and available AI solutions in schools.

In addition, the Education server about various programs and materials that support the introduction of AI in class. This includes a guide from the Telekom Foundation and the development of interdisciplinary AI competence models for teachers and students. Teaching units such as "Spot-IS-Ai" and Digibits offer teachers the opportunity to discuss the opportunities and risks of AI and to promote the responsible use of technologies such as chatt.

challenges and opportunities through KI

The discussion about the use of AI in schools also affects deeper social issues. According to an article by the Federal Center for Political Education KI could have the potential to revolutionize the education system. However, there is a risk that students rely too much on AI, which could negatively influence the learning process. There are also concerns about data protection and data security, especially if AI systems monitor individual learning progress.

It is inevitable that AI is not only used as a tool, but also as part of the curriculum to promote critical thinking. Educational institutions must ensure that all students have access to AI and can effectively use them. Research in the education system must be reoriented in order to meet the current challenges by AI and to offer the teachers the necessary support.
