¨How will our schools look in ten years?"

Kayshav, Boon Lay Secondary School, Singapore Padlet

A question that has been commonly asked among my friends. Thanks to the advancements in A.I technology, We could be looking at a completely different world in ten years.

Teachers in schools could be replaced by A.I controlled robots. Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the most exciting field in robotics. ... First, the AI robot or computer gathers facts about a situation through sensors or human input. The computer compares this information to stored data and decides what the information signifies. This way teachers or students have personalized robots to assist them in homework ,holding notes or even buying lunch for them. This way, Students and Teachers have more time to focus on academics. The downfall is that technology as of 2020 has not mastered making A.I controlled robots.Countries such as Japan have started making A.I robots and have not made a finished product which is for sale in public.

There will be a loss of jobs because of robots in schools.Robots could take jobs of the cleaners and teachers.Unemployment will be a major problem in the society.Although it is a problem it will benefit schools as robots are more efficient workers. Robots are controlled by AI so problems such as Getting sick will not be a problem.The robots are powered by either batteries or plugged into electrical sockets using wires. (WALL-E) is a rough idea on how robots will look like

Artificial Intelligence in Education

So far, in many ways, AI has become ubiquitous in many aspects of our daily lives. From smart sensors that help us take perfect pictures, to auto parking features in cars, to personal assistants in smartphones, artificial intelligence is always around us.

Although we may not see humanoid robots acting as teachers in the next decade, there are many projects that have been done that use computer intelligence to help students and teachers gain experience more educational. These are just a few of the ways in which these tools will shape and determine future educational experiences.

1. Artificial intelligence can automate basic activities in education, like scoring.

2. Educational software can fit the needs of students.

3. It can point out problems that courses need to improve.

4. Students may receive additional assistance from AI tutors.

5. The program of AI control can give students and educators helpful feedback.

6. It is changing the way we find and interact with information.

7. The data provided by AI can change the way schools find, teach and support students.

8. AI can make learning trial and error less scary.

9. AI can change where students learn, who teaches and how they acquire basic skill.

AI may only need to replace the teacher in some cases. AI-provided education programs help students learn basic skills, but as these programs grow and as developers learn more, they may provide students with more translations. broader. While AI can take on tasks such as grading, can help students improve their learning, there will always be a role for teachers in education, but as these programs grow and as developers learn more, they may provide students with a wider range of services. Although AI can take on tasks such as grading, can help students improve their learning, there will always be a role for teachers in education, but what is that role and how does it entail subjects to change ?

Will AI replace the Teacher?

By Lenka Zigon Slovenia and Juliette Bentley Mt St Michael’s College Brisbane, Australia

Slovenia has a large student population from 19 to 24 years. We know that, practical knowledge is very important for the development of wider society, especially when we have in mind that students' knowledge (not only their formal education) should be appropriate for the labour market. However, we still do not find much correlation between what is accomplished in formal schooling and the workplace.

Today technological development has a great impact on schools and their pedagogical frameworks. When we consider the importance of AI in education we think about:

· personalization of educational process,

· supporting different educational methods,

· rebuilding classical learning tools.

AI can partially and effectively replace the teacher in routine procedures (e.g. assessment, exams, checking homework, language learning etc.) and certainly virtual tutors such as Duolingo can teach some simple content and support language acquirement.

So, recognising teachers won’t be replaced, the main question is how can teachers be better prepared for this ever-evolving teaching and learning context? How can universities educate future teachers for such new roles? AI goes beyond adjusting classic learning tools such as books, visual texts, computers and phones. Content across all disciplines should become more integrated, interesting and supported by informed and discerning AI praxis. The application of AI goes beyond the bounds of STEAM teachers, it is incumbent upon all teachers to engage with best practice which means universities need more future thinking in their teacher training, and those already in schools need the patience, support, trust and encouragement of school leadership.

AI will not completely replace the teacher. The basic human interactions which occupy all our senses for beauty, smell, happiness, sadness are key to a holistic education. AI will certainly support teacher's work. This support will increase in future technological development for society.

Australian teachers generally accept that education has changed from an industrial model of fixed outcomes to a paradigm of flexible outcomes and uncertain futures. They also recognise that AI goes beyond the binary yes-no, right-wrong substitution (SAMR Model: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) and is moving best practice toward the more complex models that will better leverage their capabilities so that greater engagement with creating new knowledge replaces regurgitating prior knowledge. The fear of being replaced is a whisper of a shadow rather than a fear inducing nightmare. We must design AI to add value to life and learning, not replace and ‘dumb’ down human capabilities. A sustainable future demands that we act quickly to educate our young in terms of the “soft skills” that support our survival such as; compassion, collaboration, communication, commitment, conscience, resilience to productive failure, self-awareness and self-efficacy. AI cannot do this, making face to face teacher student engagement critical. AI, by replacing time consuming tasks that do not require a teacher, and diagnostic data collection, allows an educator to craft learning experiences that uses information readily available in more meaningful ways. The data gathered on our learners can be better applied toward designing authentic learning experiences which measure them holistically and fairly across all demographics. In teaching what it means to be human, teacher’s jobs are secure.
