“The ongoing AI revolution has quickly challenged the entire education sector. The need for knowledge in the field of learning and digital technology is enormous. We can’t let algorithms act as decision makers and watch our children become computerised guinea pigs,” she says.
AI has the potential to offer more individualised teaching and simplify teachers’ time-consuming administration, but well thought-out and scientifically based methods are needed. Linnéa Stenliden and her colleagues run several research projects on AI in education and want to gear up this work. New results that emerge can, among other things, be integrated into teacher education.
“If the technology is used in a conscious and wise way, it can contribute to teachers’ work and enrich students’ learning processes. Otherwise, there are imminent risks that the technology will actually hinder pedagogical practice and the basic idea of education,” says Linnéa Stenliden.
