Major Findings From This Research
- The definition of AI is said by John Maurice Gayed as "intelligent machines and algorithms that adapt and reason based on a set of rules that copy human intelligence" (Gayed 4).
- Pros of AI in High school education include personalized education, automated tasks for teachers, supplementing content, efficient learning, student-teacher connection, and quick feedback.
- Cons of AI in High school education include students cheating, ethical concerns, privacy concerns, and disconnection between students and teachers.
- The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy in the 1950's at a Dartmouth college conference.
Research Advice and Reflection
- In my research, there were plenty of sources that went over both pros and cons for AI in high school education. I used the OneSearch catalog in the Skagit Valley College library. Make sure you double check your information and check that your biases aren't seeping through into your research. I used OneSearch over other sources because it is filled with reliable and scholarly sources.
- The research went really great! There were no hiccups except for misplacing a name every now and then and having to backtrack. The most exciting part of researching this is really acknowledging the pros and cons of AI in high school education because eventually, AI will get included in high school a lot more. My interest in the topic grew when I saw all the pros. Part of me would've loved if we spent more time on it. It's a great idea to research information and put it into a guide.
