Educational Applications of Artificial Intelligence in an eTwinning Project by Barbara Zadraveli
Introduction Implemented during the 2023 – 2024 academic year, the project engaged 22 teachers and 140 students from Greece, Croatia, Romania, Spain, Georgia, Italy, and Serbia. Actively participating students gained comprehensive insights into how AI can serve as a valuable tool in education. They learned to harness AI to enhance their learning experiences and academic performance.
The project encouraged reflective thinking about the ethical use of AI, fostering responsibility and academic integrity. Through discussions, collaborative activities, and hands-on applications, students developed a deeper appreciation for sustainability, and the role AI can play in addressing global challenges.
Project Objectives
• Understand and accept AI in education
• Address ethical concerns related to AI usage
• Apply sustainable practices in schools
• Promote interest in European languages and cultural diversity
• Develop core competencies: multilingualism, literacy, digital skills, cultural awareness and expression, personal and social skills, and lifelong learning
Theoretical framework AI refers to machines ' capacity to emulate human cognitive functions such as learning, planning, and creativity. AI systems can process data and respond autonomously, adapting their behaviour based on past outcomes( Safe Internet for Kids, 2024).
In developed countries, AI educational tools are becoming integral to the learning process, helping personalize education and reduce administrative workload. Examples include: 1. Auto-grading applications and adaptive testing 2. Real-timetranslation tools 3. Handwriting recognition and automated assessment
The European Union predicts a productivity increase of 11 – 37 % by 2035 due to AI, including in education( CNN- GR, 2024). In the U. S., AI use in education is expected to rise by 47.5 % by year-end( Walton Family Foundation, 2023). Despite AI’ s promise, educators remain irreplaceable, although teaching methods will evolve.
The transition to the next phase— that of human – machine convergence made possible through the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence( AI)— constitutes an adaptation that demands radical changes in the daily life of the average person. It
