Artificial Intelligence could be a game changer for education according to an Australian tech expert.
Teaching approaches could be developed to address different learning styles of individual students.
Teachers generally teach a curriculum to their class of between 20 and 30 students, working within a timeline determined by school terms. Mr Jenkins said the AI could use visualisations, sound, images or video to teach students through different learning styles.Mr Jenkins said the AI assistants would have a similar impact as tutors would.
A 2022 Productivity Commission report found that each year, between 5 and 9 per cent of Australian students did not meet year-level expectations in either literacy or numeracy."Research suggests that targeted interventions are effective, particularly small group or one-to-one tuition," it stated. Ms Haythorpe said issues around efficacy, student safety and what the potential use of AI in classrooms would look like needed to be considered and that the AEU was currently consulting its members on the matter.“I don't want people to think there's some kind of dystopia where we just have a classroom full of students in front of 50 laptops and they just work with it," he said.
