Artificial intelligence transmits classrooms from the traditional framework to innovative education

Specialists said that artificial intelligence can enrich the education process, and helps in developing learning and making access to it easier by those wishing to develop their knowledge.

They emphasized that artificial intelligence will transfer the classrooms from the traditional framework to innovative education, explaining that the use of artificial intelligence in education makes the educational process more specialized, by relying on data and interaction.

In detail, teachers expected that the classrooms will move close to the traditional framework for learning to the use of a mixture of interactive and artificial intelligence, designed as needed, and a large percentage of students will benefit from smart teaching systems, and chat robots that are continuous and flexible, as classes will freely free from administrative matters and will devote themselves to focusing on students, after a number of administrative tasks move to intelligence Artificial, including correction of exams, assessment of duties, attendance and absence operations.

They pointed out that the UAE has exceeded the major problem facing many countries in applying artificial intelligence in education, which is related to the readiness of the infrastructure that the digital world needs, as all schools have classes equipped with computers connected to a high -speed internet, and the majority of students in their homes have similar equipment from computers, a high -speed internet network, while a last obstacle remains to persuade teachers and parents By abandoning traditional methods of education, and engaging enthusiastically in this new revolution that will change the form of education.

Fears

The results of a study conducted by “Presscol” – the pioneering provider of the educational software based on the cloud, in cooperation with the “Yugov” institution specialized in research and opinion polls, and the Emirates Today obtained a full copy of its results – that the most prominent concerns of the use of artificial intelligence in education included the loss of children’s ability to think about critical and innovative (45% of the study participants who classified it among the highest three concerns), Artificial intelligence developed at a faster pace than the legal and ethical frameworks (41% ranked this item among the highest three concerns), and 38% showed concerns related to the privacy and security of data, 28% related to their concerns about maintenance and technical support, and 27% whose concerns are related to the lack of training of teachers, and about one in every 10 teachers who believe that there are no major challenges in front of the application of artificial intelligence, and have shown Additional concerns that 67% are concerned that artificial intelligence may obstruct traditional educational methods, and 64% are concerned that artificial intelligence may replace educational functions.

71% saw a positive impact on educational leaders, 66% see a positive impact on teachers, 71% see a positive impact on students, and 73% feel that their schools are able to expand the use of artificial intelligence, but most of them indicate the need for more investments, while 97% of the current users of artificial intelligence tools indicate that the tools helped them exceed Challenges, and 91%see that the tools have brought about a shift in their daily roles, and 94%believe that their schools can benefit more than artificial intelligence, while the most common uses came to follow the attendees (35%), correction of duties (32%), and scheduling meetings with parents (30%).

Various opinions

The President of the European University of Applied Sciences in Dubai, Dr. Mauritz van Rocegen, stressed that the discussion about artificial intelligence in education is taking place between two different opinion Uncomfortable using it, but it is also necessary to understand this technique deeply, with its strengths and weaknesses.

He told «Emirates Today»: “The use of artificial intelligence in higher education made the educational process more specialized, dependent on data and interaction, as the content can be adapted in a manner that is appropriate for the pace of each student and its level, which makes education more flexible and efficient, and in this context the role of teachers gradually transforms from a knowledgeable person to facilitators for learning, while traditional exams are replaced by competency -based evaluation formulas.” It is students to bear more responsibility for their learning, and to be able to organize themselves effectively, while using artificial intelligence as an active tool in the learning process.

He added: «I do not think that artificial intelligence will replace educational functions, it is true that some aspects of teaching may be implemented better using artificial intelligence in the future, but this does not mean that we will need fewer teachers, but rather the role of the teacher will change, which can be good news, because it allows granting more individual attention to students, and transferring learning until after the limits of the traditional class, where artificial intelligence must make a profession Teaching is more satisfactory, and it actually contributes to the development of students, and it will be unfortunate to be seen only as a tool to reduce costs. ”

Rogen pointed out that artificial intelligence does not pose a threat to the teaching profession as long as the teacher is ready for development as well, as artificial intelligence can help the teacher meet these individual needs, and reduce the burden of routine tasks in teaching, such as re -explaining the same concepts again, or providing accurate notes repeatedly, and giving the teacher a broader time space for the effective educational interaction with students in ways that were not available Previously, in addition to making the education profession deeper and satisfied both professional and humanitarian.

Gains

For his part, Vice President and Director General of Porcols in the Middle East and Africa, Fadi Abdel -Khalek, stressed that schools will witness major transformations with the integration of artificial intelligence technologies in the education process, and it is expected that the steps in this direction will accelerate during the next decade, where artificial intelligence is currently an essential part of the daily education experience, through its role in simplifying administrative tasks, allocating learning, and supporting the various needs of students, without downloading Additional burdens on teachers, indicating that there is a growth in awareness about the importance of preparing students to interact responsible with the techniques of artificial intelligence, as 79% of teachers in the Emirates agree on the need to provide schools for teaching methods based on artificial intelligence from an early age.

Challenges

Abdel -Khaleq said: “The concerns associated with artificial intelligence are concentrated in maintaining the privacy and security of data, neutrality and fairness, because artificial intelligence models that are trained in distorted data groups, can provide unfair results, such as classifying students from certain backgrounds in an unfair way as being at risk of academic failure,” noting that mitigating these risks requires school work closely with Provided to review the data approved in the training, conduct a comprehensive test of bias, adopt audit operations by third parties, and monitor artificial intelligence systems continuously, to ensure accuracy, fairness and inclusiveness.

Replace teachers

He added: «Artificial intelligence will be a supportive tool for the teacher instead of replacing it, by relying on data and interacting with his techniques, but teachers must ensure moral use, student privacy and human supervision, while continuous monitoring of artificial intelligence tools to ensure fairness and transparency, and by developing these skills, teachers can allocate education and automate routine tasks, focus on creativity and thinking Critical, and building strong relationships that emphasize the importance of preserving human ties. ”

Task

He expected that the role of teachers would develop positively with the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in the education process, as he undertakes the tasks of correction and planning for lessons and administrative work, so that teachers can focus on enhancing communication with students, which constitutes the utmost importance, and this change gives teachers more space to invest in their professional development, and explore new technologies and deal with colleagues.

For his part, the assistant professor, in the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, at the University of Abu Dhabi, Dr. Murad Al -Rajab, stressed that artificial intelligence will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of education, as its techniques contributed to providing an educational approach for each student, providing educational content and instructions that meet individual needs, and provided the ability to analyze students’ performance efficiently, and this personal method in education is more effective.

Al -Rajab added: “Educational institutions must design educational programs that enhance independence and develop life skills, and encourage deep understanding and sustainable knowledge of students, while taking advantage of technological progress and artificial intelligence tools, and they must also set frameworks and laws that determine the appropriate and correct use of artificial intelligence in education.”
