Q1.) Maria Isabel L. Concepcion -> In your professional and personal opinion, how do you see the relationship of AI and SDG’s in the next 5 years?
Thank you for the question. I think we can't deny the existence of AI in our life and how it impact our life as well. Just like any technology tool, there are positive and negative impacts of AI but in my opinion, if we embrace AI and use it for doing good to the community, it will definitely be a platform for us to achieving SDGs. E.g: in education, if AI is applied and use to enhance T&L, especially in areas where teaching physically can be a challenge, then AI can be considered as an alternative.
Q2.) Rosalie Almadrones -> Teachers and students are exposed to becoming reliant on AI. Will this pose a challenge on the critical thinking of the students?
Thank you for your question. No doubt, over-reliance on AI will hinder critical thinking, but at the same time, questions/assignments can bedesigned in a way to promote critical thinking/application/problem solving, I believe we can foster different focus then just letting students to acquire knowledge through AI.
Q3.) Hasnain Sajjad -> What are the effects of AI especially from students point of view? Thank you for your question. I sincerely believe students may not see the negative effects of AI for their study. E.g: I have read research papers on how AI is used to teach English/language, and students learn writing through AI e.g: ChatGPT. Just like any technology, if students are aware to use AI correctly, it will significantly help them in their learning. But over-reliance of AI, just like any technology, will affect their studies significantly.
Q4.) GANESHAN M K --> Any example of active learning? Thank you for your question. Active learning requires lots of engagement with students, cognitively. An example that I used in my management class was that I asked my students to do lots of role-playing activities. Management theories are boring (no pun intended), and most of my students have no working experience yet. So to intrigue them to learn management theories, I purposely design my tutorial classes to include role-play activities and at the end, ask students to apply theories to the activities. It was a simple tactic but yes, I believe it promotes active learning. Sometimes, we do not need to complicate things. A simple activity can be meaningful too.
Q5.) Rashmi Gotecha --> Can you please provide example of drill and practice learning? Thank you. Drill and Practice learning is repetition methods. In the higher level of education, it may not be a favour methods of learning, as repetition can be boring and students learn for the sake of learning. But if we put drill and practice methods with another learning method, e.g: problem solving, then it could help with learning. In particular, I saw my children practicing maths problems over and over again, but when I gave them a problem solving question, they couldn't do it. I saw the problem there, that they blindly repeat the solution. So, we need balance and not fully use drill and practice method only in learning.
Q6.) BALANI --> Kindly give example of scaffolding approach. - Thanks, I believe I address this question. Scaffolding method can vary, and to address SDGs in education curriculum, it has to be from the low level of education and slowly build to higher level.
Q7.) Nazia Parveen --> What is the meaning of T & L in social science? Thank you for your question. I don't quite get the question but if you meant research of T&L as social science studies, yes. T&L research is part of social science studies.
Q8.) Rishirl Cuario --> In all this challenges how can the educator or teacher will adopt or embrace this challenges especially in the world of AI.
