Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Educational Sciences welcomes submissions from contributors focused on the “Educational Equity Gap and Artificial Intelligence in STEM Subjects”.
This Special Issue focuses on the longstanding challenge faced by education scholars and practitioners of STEM in attempting to provide innovative teaching and learning approaches to narrow the equity gap of all students regardless of gender, ethnicity, or economic background. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to address some of the principal challenges in education today and may accelerate progress in educational equity as well as quality for all students by modernizing teaching and learning practices, particularly regarding minority students.
All research methods will be considered, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research, that explore issues relating to the equity gap in STEM education and the possible development of a more equitable society by considering artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. Machine learning and AI are fast-growing analytical procedures that are gaining eminence and can potentially transform the educational equity gap by changing learners’ experiences both within and beyond amphitheaters through innovative and improved learning processes as well as pedagogical strategies.
The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Educational equity gap in STEM education;
- Pedagogical models to address the attainment gap in STEM education;
- Design and development of effective uses of emerging technologies, including AI in STEM teaching and learning;
- Benefits and challenges relating to the application of AI in teaching or learning contexts in STEM subjects;
- Implementing AI in inclusive STEM education to tackle the equity gap.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Anastasia Sofroniou
