Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial Intelligence in Education and Sustainable Development
Artificial intelligence (AI) brings powerful technological resources to address some of the great challenges of education today, including inequalities in access to knowledge, research, and respect for cultural diversity. But it is also a technology that can generate important changes in teaching and learning practices in both formal and non-formal education.
UNESCO proposes the incorporation of AI as a tool for the achievement of the 2030 Education Agenda, while ensuring respect for the basic principles of inclusion and equity in its use. The aim is to ensure that AI enhances progress towards the achievement of SDG 4, as well as to avoid widening the technology gap within countries.
The underlying idea is to achieve “AI for all”, enabling all people to access the fruits of this ongoing technological revolution, primarily in terms of innovation and knowledge. We invite researchers and professionals in the educational and technological fields to contribute their studies and experiences to address this fascinating field from various perspectives. The thematic areas that make up the proposal for this monograph are as follows:
- AI and Innovation in Teaching and Learning.
- AI in Learning Assessment.
- AI to Ensure Inclusion and Diversity in Education
- AI in Education for Sustainable Development
- Ethical and Social Challenges Associated with AI in Education
- AI in Educational Management
In summary, this monograph aims to be a space for reflection and dialogue on how artificial intelligence can be a catalyst for a more inclusive, personalized, and sustainability-oriented education. We invite researchers and educators to publish in this Special Issue, and the selected articles will contribute to forming a broad and deep overview of the possibilities and challenges that AI presents in the educational field, providing valuable insights for academics, professionals, and policymakers.
