Teachers in England can use artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate marking and write letters at home for parents, according to new government councils.
The training equipment being distributed to schools, first seen exclusively by the BBC, according to teachers, teachers can use technology to “help automate routine tasks” and focus rather on “time face to face quality”.
Teachers must be transparent about their use of AI and always check its results, said the Ministry of Education (DFE).
The association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) said that it could “release time for face to face”, but there were still “big problems” to be solved.
BCS, the institute approved for this one, said that it was an “important step”, but the teachers “would like” clarity on the way they should say … the parents where they used AI “.
Teachers and students have already experienced with ai, and the DFE has previously supported its use among teachers.
However, this is the first time that he has produced training equipment and advice for schools describing how they should and should not use it.
The DFE says that AI should only be used for marking “with low challenges” such as quiz or homework, and teachers must check its results.
They also give teachers permission to use AI to write “routine” letters to parents.
A section shows how it could be used to generate a letter on an epidemic of head lice, for example.
Emma Darcy, a secondary school leader who works as a consultant to support other schools with AI and digital strategy, said that teachers had “almost moral responsibility” to learn to use it because the students were already doing it “in great depth”.
“If we do not use these tools ourselves as educators, we are not going to be able to support our young people with confidence by using them,” she said.
But she warned that opportunities are accompanied by risks such as “potential data violations” and marking errors.
“AI can offer invented quotes, facts [and] Information, “she said.” You must make sure not to outsource what you do entirely at AI. “”
DFE advice indicates that schools should have clear policies on AI, including when teachers and students may and cannot use it, and manual checks are the best way to locate if students use it to cheat.
He also indicates that only approved tools should be used and that students should be taught to recognize deep flocchers and other information.
Educational Secretary Bridget Phillipson said guidelines were aimed at “reducing workloads”.
“We are putting on cutting-edge AI tools in the hands of our brilliant teachers to improve the way our children learn and develop-free up paperwork teachers so that they can focus on what parents and students need the most: inspiring teaching and personalized support,” she said.
Pepe Di’iasio, secretary general of ASCL, said that many schools and colleges were already “safely and effectively in terms of AI” and that it had the potential to facilitate the workloads of heavy employees and, therefore, help the challenges of recruitment and detention.
“However, there are big problems,” he added. “Budgets are extremely tight due to the enormous financial pressures in the education sector and the achievement of the potential advantages of AI require investments.”
BCS search, the Charterd Institute for itAt the end of last year, suggested that most teachers did not use AI, and there was a concern among those who were to say to their school.
But Julia Adamson, her director general of education, said that the advice “looked like an important step forward”.
She added: “Teachers will want to clarity exactly how they should tell these parents where they used AI, for example in writing e-mails, to avoid additional pressure and report loads.”
THE Scottish And Welsh Governments have both declared that AI can support with tasks such as marking, as long as it is used professionally and responsible.
And in Northern IrelandLast week, the Minister of Education, Paul Givan, announced that a study by the University of Oxford Brookes would assess how AI could improve education results for some students.
