Beyond Algorithms: Humanizing Artificial Intelligence for Personalized and Adaptive Learning
Keywords:
AI-Enhanced Education, Human-Centered AIEd, Personalized Learning, Adaptive PedagogiesAbstract
This academic research paper explores the critical challenge of humanizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) for personalized and adaptive learning, moving beyond algorithmic approaches to create more inclusive and effective educational experiences. It examines key AI technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, and predictive analytics tools, evaluating their potential to revolutionize education while addressing their limitations. The research highlights the importance of a human-centered framework for AI in education (AIEd), emphasizing participatory design, teacher empowerment, and the promotion of socio-emotional learning alongside cognitive development. Major findings include the need for AI-enabled pedagogies that transcend conventional personalization, such as collaborative knowledge building and place-based learning, to foster deeper engagement and understanding. The academic research paper underscores the significance of these approaches in creating more equitable and inclusive learning environments, particularly in addressing educational disparities in diverse global contexts. Ethical considerations, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the potential erosion of teacher autonomy, are critically examined. The research proposes a multi-stakeholder roadmap for implementing ethical and equitable AIEd, combining policy recommendations with practical strategies like risk sandboxing and open-source AIEd development. By advocating for a balance between technological innovation and human values in education, this academic research paper contributes to the advancement of human-centered AI in personalized and adaptive learning, paving the way for more nuanced, ethical, and effective integration of AI in educational settings worldwide.
