Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across different learning environments, seeking to highlight the increasing role AI plays within all academic domains of education—including K12 and higher education contexts. We are interested in addressing the ways that learning applications, software, and innovative teaching strategies have integrated AI to facilitate the achievement of educational objectives. This Special Issue covers studies in both in-person and remote learning scenarios as we examine the application of conversational AI tools that simulate human-like interactions and provide students with personalized tutoring and assistance. Also under review are AI learning metrics, including sophisticated systems capable of tracking and analyzing student performance data to offer insights into learning patterns, strengths, and improvement areas. Additionally, we consider AI-enhanced learning software that adapts educational content to the individual learner's pace and understanding, thus optimizing the learning experience. Other facets of our investigation include various forms of AI integration within education that contribute to a more engaging, efficient, and personalized learning process. Our interest extend to studies employing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approaches to research, including active experimentation and questionnaire-based studies, aiming to shed light on the effectiveness and impact of AI in education.

Students with special needs often require more assistance and attention to meet their educational needs. However, schools frequently grapple with a critical shortage of special education teachers and support staff. This shortage of special education teachers can result in limited resources for general and subject teachers (e.g., math, science), making it challenging to provide individualized support to students with special needs. Specifically, subject teachers may struggle to design effective curricular content modifications and accommodations for such students without the guidance and suggestions of special education teachers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can provide some support for teachers and schools in meeting the needs of students with special needs. Also, AI may help reduce teachers’ workload. In this technology review, we assess the capabilities of Magic School AI (MSAI) in providing accommodations and modifications to assist teachers in streamlining their workload and fostering inclusivity in their classrooms. We examined five functions: text leveler, text scaffolders, assignment scaffolder, exemplar and non-examples, and sentence starters. Additionally, we discuss the limitations of MSAI and conclude by suggesting potential improvements for the system. Full article
