Supporting teachers and teaching in the age of Artificial Intelligence

Research project

Supporting teachers and teaching in the age of Artificial Intelligence

Overview

This project investigates teacher capabilities to respond to, and engage with, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in their classrooms and online teaching. This project expects to generate significant new knowledge about teacher workforce development to work productively alongside AI and other automated technologies.

Expected outcomes include insights into technical, organisational and social issues surrounding the deployment of AI tools in schools, and the development of models of AI best practice and professional learning. This should provide significant benefits such as improved classroom outcomes and better use of technical infrastructure investment.

There are three A3 provocation posters (colour, high-definition image .JPG) & A4 printouts that focus on the following prompts:

When is it appropriate to save time by outsourcing work to ChatGPT?

Should you be using GenAI to provide feedback on your students' work?
