How artificial intelligence can meaningfully support learning in primary schools will be the focus of a teacher training session featuring Ann-Christin Falhs, research associate in the CAIS research program “Educational Technologies & Artificial Intelligence,” who has been invited as a speaker. Representatives from a total of 63 primary schools in the Ennepe-Ruhr district will take part.
Participants will receive an overview of various AI applications in education, with a particular focus on intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) and their use to support foundational mathematical skills in mathematics instruction. These adaptive learning systems assess learning progress, align subsequent tasks accordingly, and provide real-time hints and feedback. In the practical part, participants will be able to try out such a system themselves and then reflect on their experiences as well as the opportunities and limitations of using AI in the classroom.
