This study provides an overview of research on teachers' use of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and machine learning methods to analyze teachers' data. Our analysis showed that AI offers teachers several opportunities for improved planning (e.g., by defining students' needs and familiarizing teachers with such needs), implementation (e.g....
The affordances of artificial intelligence (AI) have not been totally utilized in education. To effectively integrate AI into education, teachers’ AI-specific technological and pedagogical knowledge is important. Furthermore, due to novel ethical issues caused by Al, teachers also must have the knowledge to assess AI-based decisions. None of the pr...
Twenty-first-century skills should be integrated into higher education to prepare students for complex working-life challenges.
