Artificial Intelligence (AI) Effects on Educational Systems
Artificial intelligence is a constellation of many different technologies working together to enable machines to sense, comprehend, act, and learn with human-like levels of intelligence. Maybe that's why it seems as though everyone's definition of artificial intelligence is different: AI isn't just one thing.
The developed countries use AI in their everyday life and this technology is a part of their educational system too. The traditional educational system is changing due to AI. AI benefits people and students in their academic life as it becomes much easier and individualized.
Based on surveys, teachers spend 43% of their time teaching, 13% lesson planning, 11% evaluating and grading, and 7% in official affairs. However, AI provides the opportunity for teachers to save their time and let the AI do most of the work. For example, ProProfs quiz maker is one of the online applications that makes exams and provides teachers with automatic/instant results.
AI facilitates learning; they break down lessons into simple parts, highlight main points and summarize lessons. They can produce visual and audio data which fastens students' understanding. An example of which is Netex Learning.
Every student learns differently from his/her peers. Teachers can't make individualized plans for every single student in class. In this case, AI helps to build individualized learning plans. AI meets the needs of students and emphasizes on certain issues. AI repeats the areas where students haven't learned and helps students to fasten their learning. This technology provides the opportunity for students of different knowledge levels to work together in a single class and facilitates teaching for the teacher. An example of this is Carnegie Learning that functions as teacher assistant.
Teachers may not always figure out students' misconceptions during a lesson. However, AI identifies the questions which most of the students answered incorrectly, notifies the teacher, and sends reflections to students followed by notepoints of the lesson.
Students can receive more support from AI. There are several educational apps that can develop students in basic mathematics, spelling, etc. these apps can only teach basic concepts and are not able to teach creativity to students.
AI also helps students to choose their field of study based on the courses they were successful in.
AI has digitized educational books with online platforms that provide the opportunity for students to participate in classrooms regardless of their place. These platforms can also translate data to various languages for all language speakers.
Duolingo is a language learning application based on AI. Duolingo has more than 300 million users around the world that individualized the application and are learning their favorite languages.
Before AI, students had to wait a long time for their teacher to respond to their questions, however, AI created chat boxes that help students find the relevant answers.
