A University of Maryland-led team has received a $4.5 million grant from the Gates Foundation/Walton Family Foundation to improve AI as a tool to strengthen math instruction and boost learning. The researchers will develop a large-scale, open-source dataset for AI model training tools focused on K–12 math education, sourced over the next three years from…

It might also reduce the anxiety associated with using math to answer questions.

In this 3-part series on student engagement, Dr Amy Berry and Dr Kellie Picker are sharing insights from their study Student perspectives on engaging in learning at school, where they surveyed nearly 1,300 Prep to year 12 students and conducted 45 focus groups with 158 students.

AI är på frammarsch i alla delar av samhället – skolan är inget undantag. Men i den nybyggaranda som råder finns en risk att verktyg som saknar vetenskapligt stöd införs i undervisningen. Det kan få allvarliga konsekvenser.

Många gymnasieelever tar stöd av Chat GPT i sitt skolarbete på natur- och teknikprogrammen. Men användningen sker på ett genomtänkt sätt – trots att många inte har så bra koll på artificiell intelligens. Det menar forskare vid Högskolan i Halmstad.

Det haglar med skolpolitiska statliga utredningar och utbildningspolitiska reformförslag från regeringen och det är främst Liberalernas företrädare som tar plats i media och debatt; de har ju profilerat sig som Sveriges ”skolparti”, skriver Eva-Lotta Hultén.

Our research suggests that the principles of play, openness and togetherness within drama teaching have the potential to positively contribute to Autistic pupils' experiences of self-esteem, happiness and friendship. (pdf)

In international comparisons, the Swedish heritage-language education (HLE) system is often described as being at the forefront of HLE in Europe. Following recent right-wing shifts in national politics, HLE has now come under threat. This article investigates the current state of HLE in Sweden, focussing on Arabic, through a survey of the literature, statistics on…

This paper shares reflections and stories from a collaborative design process between the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab and a global network of community-based educators to develop a creative coding app called OctoStudio, which supports children and families to create and share interactive projects on mobile devices.

 The research objective of this paper is to identify the challenges and opportunities when AI intertwines with instruction and examine how this hybrid teaching intelligence is being perceived by the students. (pdf)

With increasing interest in computer-assisted education, AI-integrated systems become highly applicable with their ability to adapt based on user interactions. In this context, this paper focuses on understanding and analysing first-year undergraduate student responses to an intelligent educational system that applies multi-agent reinforcement learning as an AI tutor.
