Editor's Notes
In an age where Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries, it’s no surprise that education is also undergoing profound transformation, challenging the traditional methods of teaching and learning. AI is integrating with educational tools that help develop skills and testing systems. Embracing AI as a collaborative tool can pave the way for making education accessible to all, empowering educators and learners to harness their cognitive abilities and unlock a brighter future for themselves. AI has been increasingly propagated as having strategic value for education. (follow slide)
This research involves a review of the studies of AI education and traditional education. (follow slide) Analyzing AI-based education versus traditional education involves evaluating their respective strengths, weaknesses, and potential impacts on educators, learners, and the education system.
This comparative study is a nonformal exploratory literature review. The objective of this review was to analyze and interpret findings based on predefined research focus and criteria which serve to point to our future directions.
The selected articles include both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
This study shows that virtual learning was more effective than lecture-based training. Two methods were used (1) conventional and (2) virtual learning and the results favored virtual learning. The necessity of preparedness of students for the use of online learning and other factors may impact students’ preferences for online rather than in-class courses.
This research advocates that traditional education methods are effective but some applications are in dire need of the implementation of AI technologies for imparting quality education to the upcoming generation. The parameters of the survey were generalized and applicable to all disciplines of education.
This paper shows that by using the Human-In-The-Loop model, it was found that personalized education attempts to improve the diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of learning outcomes alongside the prevention of learning losses. But AI-enabled education has its obvious shortcomings which demand more attention to ensure disruption-free, reliable, and effective application of AI in education.
This research shows that with consideration of the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) of the Indian education system, policymakers have concluded that the education system must be transformed and restructured to make the people ready to receive AI that can transform the entire education system and can lead it to the path of improvement as needed despite inevitable factors such as functional and sustained electricity connection, internet connectivity, and trained staff in AI programming.
This review shows that a machine cannot assume the role of a teacher, and the way AI works and carries out processes in the context of teaching is far from human intelligence partly due to the lack of transparency in decision-making algorithms. Technology and pedagogy must walk together to understand the future of advanced technologies in education, and to understand the new education that will arrive in the next years.
This report is based on two main axes through which the education sector can leverage and adapt to AI: (1) using AI to generate real-time insights towards improving educational outcomes and (2) rethinking and redeveloping educational programs to make them more responsive to changes brought about by AI.
This study contributes to the development of comprehensive AI-based instruction systems that allow teachers to participate in the design process. Developing AI awareness and skills among pre-service teachers may facilitate better adoption of AI-based teaching in future classrooms. Enriching AI systems with other data types may give a better understanding of different layers of teaching and learning, and thus, help teachers to plan effective learning interventions, provide timely feedback, and conduct more accurate assessments of students’ cognitive and emotional states during the instruction.
Based on the research findings from the review study, few empirical studies were found focused on the development of the education system in an induction-deduction approach. (Follow slide)
Since this review study provides an overview of AI in education vs. traditional methods, this analysis may provide a framework for future research integration. In practice, the effectiveness of both methods depends on various factors, including the subject matter, student preferences, and the balance between technology and human interaction. A blended approach combining AI’s advantages with traditional teaching methods can be the most effective in providing a well-rounded education.
Based on the review findings, a comparative data analysis between AI-based education and Traditional education was performed under various categories as shown in Table 2 to find their advantages and challenges.
As shown in Figure 1, this review further resulted in an empirical study between AI tools and traditional methods. This analysis suggests that neither AI education nor traditional education is undeniably superior.
A blended approach combining AI’s advantages with traditional teaching methods can be the most effective in providing a well-rounded education.
(follow slide) The revolutionary combination of AI tools and traditional education methods has opened up endless opportunities for educators and students to explore and excel in various fields, transcending traditional boundaries. AI-based education still has potential issues and challenges such as socio-religious taboos, educator-learner abilities, proper policies, essential infrastructures, financial constraints, and so on.
The future of education may lie in integrating the strengths of both traditional and AI-driven methods since this comparative analysis suggests that neither AI education nor traditional education is undeniably superior, as AI education promises personalization while traditional education stands for its time-tested pedagogical approaches.
