The traditional teaching method is one-to-many teaching. However, different students' learning speed and mastery of course knowledge are different. At the same time, it is difficult for teachers to find the different teaching needs of different students, and it is even more difficult to deal with them in a targeted manner.
This problem, artificial intelligence may help. Machine learning algorithms and programs collect different patterns from data, provide opinions and suggestions, help teachers find problems in the teaching process, and point out the problems that students are trying to solve.
There is a company in the United States called Third Space Learning, which founded an online mathematics teaching platform five years ago and is currently developing these concepts. Through large-scale capital investment, the platform has collected a large number of interactive data between teachers and students in millions of classrooms, so they also set up an AI project to develop an efficient teaching model.
The goal of this company is to create a platform to provide real-time feedback and help teachers better teach online. For example, the system can detect students' misunderstanding of a concept. By giving teachers a warning, the platform can prevent further problems.
Their CEO said, "Teachers play an important role in children's learning process. If we can reshape the teacher's grades through artificial intelligence, then we will do too much. "The teaching system based on artificial intelligence is another interesting concept using big data and machine learning, which can provide students with personalized teaching and supplementary guidance. An artificial intelligence teaching system is called evaluating problems by keeping away from and monitoring students' feedback. This feedback mechanism allows the system to decide the best teaching method.
This kind of teaching based on artificial intelligence helps students to adopt fruitful learning behaviors, such as self-management and self-education. Recently, a project jointly founded by Stanford University and Washington University is an AI-based teaching system. This mechanism allows students to strengthen their study, and at the same time, it will feedback whether all students have mastered the knowledge under the current situation, and then let students ask questions to optimize the learning process. This kind of "man-machine" cooperation can help students study more efficiently.
Strengthen external education
Many times, students don't have good knowledge in class, so they can only ask private teachers to help them outside class. In recent years, students can study thousands of miles away because of online education services. If we combine AI with machine learning now, we find that distance learning is easier to teach.
A social network called Brainly can help millions of students collaborate and develop and apply artificial intelligence on this platform. In order to ensure the quality of teaching content, the platform uses a team of thousands of moderators to review and confirm the questions and answers on the platform. The platform uses machine learning algorithm to automatically screen high-quality content for students.
In addition, the platform also uses AI algorithm to realize personalized network services. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, this will create a huge and unique opportunity to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. On this platform, students can find a method that suits their learning curve. In the future, students don't need to sit in the classroom at the same time and learn the same knowledge according to the same teaching progress.
Generate customized content
Textbooks, students' books and course materials are generally produced by millions and distributed to students. People we have experienced will find that not all teachers have the same teaching style. At this time, with the help of artificial intelligence, schools and teachers can customize different teaching materials for different student groups. Now there is such a content technology company in the United States, which can use deep learning to create assessable course content. After teachers input the curriculum and content, the system can understand and master the content, thus generating new curriculum content. This algorithm sets the core teaching concept, and then manages the teaching content and students' feedback in data, so as to produce more reasonable course content that meets students' needs.
The future of artificial intelligence and education
An intelligent report shows that artificial intelligence will realize "lifelong learning companion" in the future. These softwares will be stored in the cloud and can be intervened by peripherals. Some machine learning companies can collect students' learning data to help them increase their knowledge.
Before realizing "lifelong learning partner", we can learn in many ways, but the change of artificial intelligence in the field of education may create a very bright future.
However, in addition to transferring knowledge, we also guide and educate complex social communication behaviors, which is difficult for artificial intelligence robots to achieve. In this respect, robots will only become teachers' assistants.
