In this sector, AI can trigger impacts in multiple dimensions from reducing the time to qualify, preparing classes or concluding an admission process, as well as reinforcing the teaching process in a way that allows students to take better advantage of the flow of information . It can even increase access to education for students with special needs.
Despite these benefits, AI could also carry risks. how i put it A couple of installments ago, some of these risks apply in a general way, such as privacy violations or the use of biased information that perpetuates inequality gaps. However, there are other risks that are more specific to the sector. At a summit organized by the Stanford University There was talk of the possibility of limiting student learning in the face of incorrect information that at first glance ignores grammatical rules or, even, discouraging several young people who today doubt the benefits of continuing to study.
Given this scenario, it is important to open the debate and identify what education systems can do to take advantage of the benefits of AI in favor of students and the sector.
In the United States, the Department of Educational Technology A few days ago, he published a document in which he outlined recommendations for the use of AI to improve the teaching and learning process. These recommendations arose from discussions with different related stakeholders, including educational leaders (teachers and administrative staff), researchers, public policy makers, civil society, technology developers, students, and their families. Although it is a philosophical document, it allows one to have objectives that later align more grounded actions.
In Chile, for its part, the Ministry of Education released a guide for teachers last week called “How to use ChatGPT to enhance active learning”. These are 15 pages that anyone can download, which explain what this technology is and give concrete ideas on how people can take advantage of it in front of the classroom, such as requesting ideas to plan classes, developing materials that are useful for students to work on. certain skills or develop rubrics to assess certain knowledge.
