📋 Tender Overview
AI is changing the way of teaching and learning, but according to Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thanh Nam, the important thing is not to let AI do it for us, but to help people learn deeper, more creatively and more humanely. AI cannot replace human emotions and the ability to self-regulate behaviorAI and the comprehensive development of learnersArtificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly changing the way people learn and teach. From supporting lesson creation, grading, analyzing learning data to predicting each students progress, AI has become a knowledge partner in the modern education ecosystem. However, according to Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thanh Nam - Vice Principal of the University of Education (VNU), bringing AI into schools cannot only stop at technology application, but must be based on the scientific foundation of learning - that is, understanding how people actually receive, remember, reflect and create knowledge. Also according to Associate Professor Tran Thanh Nam, without this foundation, education can fall into the illusion of understanding: students have the right answers but do not think, students complete essays fluently without ever learning how to analyze, express or ask questions. AI can do a lot for us, but if we let AI learn for us, people will lose the ability to actually learn. People not only have linguistic or logical intelligence - things AI can easily simulate, but also have emotional, social, motor, aesthetic and self-awareness intelligence. These abilities are only formed through real experiences and interactions between people. Associate Professor Tran Thanh Nam believes that AI can help students learn faster and write better, but cannot replace emotions and the ability to self-regulate behavior. Therefore, introducing AI into education must go along with developing humane qualities and emotional intelligence. AI can expand access to knowledge, but educators still need to aim for comprehensive human development - where knowledge, emotions and moral values are trained simultaneously, he said. Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thanh Nam believes that AI must be integrated based on the science of learning. AI must be integrated based on the science of learning. When used properly, AI helps personalize learning, detect students in difficulty early, automate management or simulate virtual classrooms. Thanks to that, the learning process becomes more flexible and adaptive. However, Associate Professor Tran Thanh Nam warns that overuse of AI will lead to many risks: illusion of competence, regression of writing and critical thinking skills, reduced motivation to self-study, and dependence on the convenience of the machine. Along with that are ethical risks, misleading information and reduced social interaction, making learners more lonely. When learning becomes too easy with AI, learners lose the opportunity to think deeply and grow, Associate Professor Tran Thanh Nam commented. Therefore, the goal of education is not to make learning easier, but to help people learn more deeply, know how to ask questions, reflect and persevere to overcome the necessary difficulties of learning. According to Associate Professor Tran Thanh Nam, education in the AI era needs to take a scientific approach to learning. AI applications must serve the thinking process, not replace thinking; helps reduce cognitive load, maintain learning motivation, and encourage social cooperation. AI should support expression and stimulate thinking, not create mechanical copying. He gave an example: at the elementary level, AI should not be taught as a tool, but children should be taught social understanding, ethics and logical thinking related to AI - forming a culture of understanding AI like a second language. For older students, they can learn about AI through experience. For example, when making cakes with AI, students can choose ingredients according to the machines suggestions and then taste them themselves to decide which batch is better? From there, they understand that AI can make suggestions, but humans are the ones making decisions. Or when learning through painting, teachers can let students compare hand-drawn paintings with paintings created by AI. AI paintings may be more beautiful, but there is no emotion. That way, students understand that AI learns from humans, but emotional creativity is something that machines cannot replace. According to Associate Professor Nam, instead of considering AI as a replacer, education should see AI as a co-intelligence partner. AI takes care of the fast and wide part - processing data, suggesting ideas; and humans are responsible for the deep and humane part - thinking, emotions, criticism, and ethical decision making. When these two competencies combine, the learning process becomes more effective and humane. To apply AI effectively in education, we need specific solutions. Notes to apply AI effectively in education. According to Associate Professor Tran Thanh Nam, to apply AI in general education effectively, we need to focus on the following contents: - Building an AI capacity framework for teachers and students, including understanding, limitations and responsible use. - Introducing the content AI Education into the general curriculum, helping students understand how AI operates and affects it. stars, instead of just learning programming.- Strengthen digital skills for teachers, consider learning material design and AI application as officially recognized tasks.- Innovate testing and assessment, moving from knowledge testing to assessing thinking and creative capacity.- Develop ethical regulations when using AI,ensure transparency, correct citation and prevent academic fraud. - Develop a digital learning ecosystem, where AI is integrated into the management and recommendation of appropriate learning resources. - Create an AI pilot sandbox in education - allowing testing of virtual tutor models or simulated classrooms with pedagogical supervisio
