Importance of introducing AI education
AI technology is revolutionizing education. To respond to these changes, schools and districts need a systematic and strategic approach. The 3x3 Roadmap Challenge is a framework developed to address this need.
The Impact of AI on Education
Personalized learning: AI enables education to be tailored to each student’s learning pace and style.
Teacher Support: Automate repetitive tasks so teachers can focus more on teaching students.
Assessment Innovation: Improve learning outcomes with real-time feedback and adaptive assessment.
Improve Accessibility: You can make education more accessible by overcoming language barriers, supporting students with disabilities, and more.
Key Elements of the 3x3 Roadmap Challenge
1. Collect evidence
The first step in adopting AI is to accurately understand the current situation. To do this, we collect data in various ways.
Content: Awareness, concerns, expectations, current usage of AI, etc.
Example question: “What do you think will be the biggest impact that AI technology will have on education?”
Focus group
Gather in-depth opinions through small group discussions
Conducted by different stakeholder groups (e.g. teacher group, student group, parent group)
Data Analysis
Analysis of educational technology tools currently in use
Correlation Analysis Between Student Achievement Data and AI Tool Use
2. Formation of working group
It is important to create a working group comprised of diverse stakeholders to develop an AI adoption strategy and oversee its implementation.
Member
Teachers: Includes teachers of various subjects and grades
Administrators: principal, vice principal, IT director, etc.
Students: Representatives of students from a variety of grade levels and backgrounds
Parents: Parents of children of various ages
Community members: business people, technology professionals, university officials, etc.
Role of the working group
Setting AI adoption vision and goals
Developing measures to address stakeholder concerns
Developing AI policies and guidelines
Planning a teacher training program
Monitoring and evaluating the introduction process
3. Make a plan
Based on evidence collection and discussions with working groups, we develop a concrete AI adoption plan.
AI Literacy Education Plan
For teachers: AI basic concepts, educational use methods, ethical considerations, etc.
For students: Understanding AI principles, improving critical thinking skills, ethical use, etc.
For parents: The educational value of AI, how to support at home, etc.
Safety and Ethics Policy
Establishing a data privacy protection policy
Developing ethical guidelines for AI use
Introduction of digital citizenship education program
Curriculum Integration Plan
Development of AI utilization plans for each subject
Setting AI learning goals by grade level
Plan to introduce AI-based evaluation system
Infrastructure construction plan
Identify the hardware and software you need
Network Infrastructure Improvement Plan
Establishing a technical support system
Advice for successful AI adoption
Empathic listening: Respect and take seriously the opinions of all stakeholders.
Gradual approach: Start with small pilot projects and expand gradually.
Share your vision: Clarify and continuously communicate your long-term vision and goals for AI adoption.
Stay flexible: Create a flexible plan that can respond to new technologies and changing circumstances.
Continuous evaluation: Regularly evaluate your adoption process and adjust your strategy as needed.
Implementing AI in education is a complex and challenging process, but it can be accomplished successfully with a systematic approach and collaboration among stakeholders. The 3x3 Roadmap Challenge provides a practical framework to help you get started on this journey. By adapting this framework to the needs of each school and district, you can create an innovative educational environment fit for the AI era.
