Synthetic Intelligence in Education introduces the groundbreaking concept of synthetic intelligence, referring to a harmonious blend of human and artificial intelligence. Yufeng Qian explores how today's generative AI and future systems can create a progressive learning environment where human cognition and AI capabilities work together, fostering co-learning experiences that surpass the possibilities of previous technological eras.
Arriving at a critical moment, this volume addresses the urgent need for a fundamental shift in mindset, pedagogical vision, and professional practice. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into educational tools and practices, many educators and learners still rely on outdated methods and lack the frameworks to engage with AI meaningfully. Synthetic Intelligence in Education provides a clear and accessible roadmap for educators, researchers, and policymakers to navigate the evolving landscape of AI in education.
The book examines the theoretical foundations of synthetic intelligence, emphasizing the cognitive and pedagogical principles that support meaningful human-AI collaboration. Through practical examples and actionable strategies, it shows how synthetic intelligence can be applied across diverse educational contexts.
