Full Description
AI-Powered Pedagogy and Curriculum Design offers practical insights and guidance on the effective integration of AI tools into teaching practices and curriculum design. While numerous claims exist as to the validity and authenticity of the applications of AI in schools, too little attention has been paid to empirical research conducted with and by teachers in real-world classrooms. This book synthesises diverse viewpoints from teacher educators across disciplines and levels toward a comprehensive, context-specific understanding of the challenges and best practices for responsibly leveraging Generative AI to enhance outcomes in classrooms. Contributors further shed light on how Generative AI can align with standards, assessment practices, and teacher training programs in different settings. Firsthand classroom experiences and experimental approaches of educators in the United Kingdom and Europe will provide current and aspiring teachers with insights into the intersection between AI and teacher empowerment, student participation, ethical implications, and socially just approaches.
