Within the scope of the pilot project that will start this year, artificial intelligence will be implemented in 15 education centers in four regions of Italy.
They say the best way to learn This is due to one’s own mistakes. Paolo Pedullà, director of the IIS Tommaso Salvini institute in Rome, explained to ‘Euronews’ that this is why he believes artificial intelligence can improve learning and teaching.
Your institute has it. approximately 2,000 students enrolled. The director volunteered to participate in a test involving a total of 15 institutes spread over four regions of Italy.
The Italian Ministry of Education has not yet confirmed the start date nor gave further details about how exactly to carry out the experiment. For now, schools are left to create their own plans while teachers wait for training sessions to begin.
Among the benefits of the initiative, IIS administrator Tommaso Salvini believes this tool can help reduce school dropout rates. “Artificial intelligence not only points out an error, but also tells the student what topic he needs to work on,” says Paolo Pedullà.
“Provides additional context on these topics. This can help students understand their weaknesses in the learning process”.
They will enhance learning in the classroom and at home
This institute, one of the largest institutes in the Lazio region, will only take part in the test. 17 year old fourth grade students. They will be able to enhance their learning both in class and while doing homework at home through an online platform.
“A class will be used to monitor progress“The second grade will really try this new technology and apply it to the lessons of Italian, Latin and English, as well as scientific subjects,” said Ezio di Costanzo, one of the teachers involved in the project.
“The first lesson is important because Will continue with the traditional methodThis will allow us to compare the results,” he added. Di Costanzo also points out that the use of artificial intelligence allows the monitoring of students’ progress, encouraging them not only to review certain subjects when necessary, but also helps teachers revise their teaching methods.
Close the gap between supply and demand
Most of the students They already know the technologybut they welcome the pilot project as a way to reduce the risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence.
Gaia Colabella, a senior student at the IIS Tommaso Salvini institute, said: “We Growing with the development of artificial intelligence technologies“We are in a period where everyone uses artificial intelligence.”
“But also We are aware of the current problems and a lack of clarity about the type of information AI provides. “Teachers also know that we use technology, so its use needs to be regulated,” he added.
Initially, the program will be tested for a limited period of time with the hope that it can be extended. “The trial will start this year with a total of 15 institutes across the country and it will take two yearsLazio Region Education Minister Giuseppe Schiboni said, “Since it is an experimental project, it will be evaluated later.”
There is an additional advantage, according to the Italian education minister who announced the plan. He believes that using artificial intelligence in schools can better prepare younger generations entering the labor marketBy closing the gap between supply and demand.
