Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer system that has human knowledge and behavior, and solves problems, memory knowledge and understanding human natural language through learning and reasoning. John McCarthy proposed this term in 1956. After more than sixty years of development, artificial intelligence has increased its impact on various fields of social life. Artificial intelligence will change our work, learning methods, and lifestyle, and cause changes in social and political and economic appearance. On July 8, 2017, the State Council released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which indicates the key tasks of my country's development of artificial intelligence and comprehensively deployed the development plan. The "Planning" pointed out: "Artificial intelligence has become a new focus of international competition. Artificial intelligence is a strategic technology that leads the future. It is necessary to put artificial intelligence development on the national strategic level system layout and active planning."
1. Artificial intelligence can realize "personalized" teaching
One of the key methods for artificial intelligence affecting education is to provide students with personalized learning. By adapting learning procedures, games and software systemators to respond to the needs of students, collect students' learning data throughout the process, analyze these data, and finally recommend personalized learning solutions to students. Take "HKUST Xunfei" as an example. At present, it is mainly through three steps to create a student -centered classroom to achieve personalized learning: First of all, to build a discipline knowledge map for each discipline; and then analyze each student through the knowledge map of the subject. The learning situation allows each student to visualize the learning situation; finally recommend personalized learning resources to the corresponding students. Artificial intelligence can repeat the content that students do not master and help students learn according to their own rhythm. For example, "Khan Institute" can independently design the learning process according to each person's learning status. This customized education can help students at different levels of learning to learn in a classroom. Teachers can promote learning and help and support when needed.
2. Artificial intelligence can provide guidance for learning
The intelligent counseling system can understand the learning methods that students like. They can also measure the existing knowledge of students, all these data and analysis are used to provide explanations and support for the student. Tests and errors are the key parts of learning, but for many students, the wrong answer will give them a sense of frustration. Some students do not like to make mistakes in front of authorities such as peers or teachers. The method of testing and learning in the environment of judgment, AI mentor can also provide improved solutions. Some tutoring courses based on artificial intelligence have already existed, which can help students complete the basic knowledge of basic mathematics, writing and other subjects.
3. Artificial intelligence can provide students with meaningful feedback
Artificial intelligence not only allows students to customize the course and learning progress, but also provide feedback to students in time. For example, "Coursera" has put it into practice. When many students are found to submit wrong family homework answers to the system, the system will send alert to the teacher and provide customized messages to the students to provide correct answers. This type of system helps to fill the gaps that may appear in the course, and help ensure that all students can master knowledge, allow students to get feedback immediately, and help them understand the concept.
4. Artificial intelligence can change the role of teacher
Teachers will always play a role in education, but due to the emergence of new technologies of intelligent computing systems, this role and its role may change. The AI system can be programmed to provide professional knowledge, find a platform for students to find information, and take over and evaluate tasks, and provide students with professional knowledge and personalized help. It can even replace teachers to complete very basic curriculum teaching. Therefore The role of the person will become more convenient. In most cases, artificial intelligence will transform the role of teachers into the role of promoters. The enhancement and help provided by artificial intelligence for education and learning will make the work of teachers more efficient, and focus on what they are best at creating excellent content.
Teachers will be supplemented as artificial intelligence courses at that time, providing courses that require people's thinking patterns and emotional experiences, and allow students to obtain interpersonal interaction and personal experience in the course. Today technology has promoted some changes in classroom teaching, such as online schools and flipping classrooms. However, in any case, the important role of teachers in education is beyond doubt, but the work role has changed from classroom teaching to the guidance and partner of student learning.
5. Artificial intelligence can change learning methods
Using an artificial intelligence system, students can study anywhere in the world at any time, and students arrange learning time according to their needs. Through artificial intelligence, schools can create a global classroom, and the location of students will no longer be important. If students cannot participate in the course for some reason, they can enter the on -site classroom by visiting the link through the access link. Artificial intelligence can also connect learners around the world, surpass the walls of the classroom, interact with other students, teachers, famous writers, scientists, etc. to strengthen their learning effects.
Artificial intelligence can promote cooperative learning, compare students' learner models, and then recommend participants who are similar to cognitive or complementary skills to help each other and support collaborative learning through grouping. Artificial intelligence can also participate in the learning group as members, helping the group discuss in the correct direction by providing content, asking questions and providing alternative views.
