EDU033 – The education revolution: How AI is redefining the “what” of learning

When radios, televisions and smartphones arrived in schools, the promise of revolution was made. But AI, explain education experts Charles Fadel and Michael Fullan, is changing the way we think for the first time. In an interview with Jöran Muuß-Merholz, they expose the “cement mixer effect” (Nele Hirsch): AI is being used to reinforce outdated educational concepts. Their counter-proposal: a broad transfer of skills instead of early specialization that prepares students for an unpredictable future. They provide concrete examples from their work with school districts in North America and argue for a change that must be driven from below (“systemness”) as well as from above (university entrance requirements).
