Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of learning and teaching in contexts transformed by the widespread integration of artificial intelligence (AI). The interplay between AI and education presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges, demanding a profound understanding of how AI technologies can be incorporated into educational settings to enhance learning outcomes and teaching methodologies. Teachers are producing new materials and enhancing their educational creativity with AI, while students increasingly rely on AI-generated answers. Educators use AI to supplement students' knowledge, and students expect appropriate support and answers from AI tools. Regardless of whether these phenomena are viewed as positive or negative, we need to delve deeper into understanding what is occurring in education on these two fronts: how AI is being taught and learned, and how teaching and learning are being conducted with AI.
Contributors to this Special Issue will therefore focus on two seemingly distinct aspects. On the one hand, it is essential to discuss how to teach and learn AI tools and techniques across all educational levels and disciplines, as these have become indispensable for many professions, beyond those related to ICT. On the other hand, it is equally important to explore the use of AI in teaching and learning, not only to harness its potential but also to manage its side effects (e.g., hallucinations, laziness, motivational degradation, flattening of language, content uniformity, creativity homologation, etc.).
