Education is a vital aspect of our lives that shapes how we think, act, and interact with the world. However, the traditional education system often lacks the creativity, flexibility, and adaptability required to keep up with the fast-paced developments in society. With the rise of artificial intelligence and advanced technology, there is a growing need to change the culture of education to better prepare students for the future.
As an AI language model, ChatGPT is a prime example of how technology is changing the way we learn and process information. ChatGPT represents a new and innovative approach to education that values collaboration, creativity, and adaptability over rote memorization and standardized testing. Still, it has its pitfalls and risks.
Therefore:
How can we help students develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need in order to not only make good use of this technology, but also upcoming technology?
How do we as teachers keep up with the developments? What do we need to learn and unlearn?
What are the institutional, and societal boundaries and enablers of such developments?*
