The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is reshaping teaching and learning. As AI technologies, such as machine learning algorithms and large language models (LLMs), evolve, they present new opportunities to improve educational experiences, but their use may also pose risks. This Collection aims to investigate various applications of AI in education, including personalized learning, assessment tools, and language learning tools. We also welcome studies that address the ethical implications of AI in education, ensuring responsible and equitable use of these technologies.
Topics of interest include:
The effects of AI-mediated learning for understanding, memory and retention
Large language models in language learning
Use of AI in classroom settings
Ethical considerations of AI in education
Intelligent tutoring systems and assessment
This Collection brings together research on the role of artificial intelligence in education. We welcome submissions exploring applications of AI, including personalized learning, language learning enhancements, and ethical considerations. The Collection is a multidisciplinary collaboration of Nature Portfolio journals, bringing together psychological, educational, and computational approaches to the topic.
Large Language models are powerful prediction tools. Based on short aspirational essays written at age 11, these models predicted cognitive and non-cognitive traits up to the level of teacher assessments.
PENSIEVE-AI is a drawing-based, digital cognitive test that can be self-administered in <5 min. It matches traditional tests in detecting cognitive impairment and dementia, offering promise for early detection in literacy-diverse populations.
This Perspective describes the roles of generative AI in providing personalized support, diversity and innovative assessment in learning. However, it also raises ethical concerns and highlights issues such as model imperfection, underscoring the need for AI literacy and adaptability.
