Educational Concepts and Methodologies in the AI Era: Challenges and Responses

Abstract

The emergence of general artificial intelligence (AI) model technology, notably ChatGPT, has substantially transformed contemporary approaches to knowledge exploration and acquisition, presenting significant challenges to educational concepts and methodologies. This article initially delineates the myriad obstacles encountered in learning during the AI era and meticulously scrutinizes the attributes and limitations of conventional educational concepts and instructional approaches, which are prevalent in examination-oriented education in primary and secondary schools. Commencing with the requisites of “human beings” and transition “to adulthood,” it delves into the educational objectives of fostering individuals and advocates for the fundamental integration of education within the realm of philosophy. Subsequently, by elucidating the correlation between “fish” and “fishing” in conjunction with the concept of the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), it furnishes numerous illustrations of incorporating the thoughts and methodologies of scientists in the exploration and resolution of problems within the classroom. The article underscores the profundity of insight of educators compared to adult cogitation and the perceptual limitations of adolescent students, underscoring the imperative for educators to concentrate on guiding students in their pedagogy.
