Global education deans discuss in Shanghai: How can education keep up with changes in the AI era?
The Seventh Global Forum of Deans of Education was held at East China Normal University from October 22 to 24, with nearly 80 deans or representatives of education schools from 30 countries and regions discussing artificial intelligence, teacher training and educational equity. Participants noted that convenient answers provided by large models may cause students to develop "learned helplessness," and institutions such as Khon Kaen University in Thailand have tried having teachers first set learning goals and then use AI to generate questions and feedback. The forum also connected with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's consultations on the "post-2030 education agenda," and the related youth consultation has received about 200,000 opinions from 194 countries.
