Abstracts

Keynote I: Pedagogical Theories and Research Design of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Abstract
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has captured the attention of researchers worldwide. Nevertheless, integrating AI technologies into school settings presents significant challenges for both researchers and educators, not to mention designing Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) research or teaching plans supported by pedagogical theories. In this talk, Prof. Hwang will introduce the fundamental concepts and applications of AI in educational settings and professional training. Subsequently, he will present the design principles of AIED research and the relevant pedagogical theories. Additionally, several examples will be provided to illustrate how to conduct high-quality AIED studies.

Keynote II: Dialoguing and Collaborating with Generative AI: Strategies for Educators

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of educational technology, the emergence of Generative AI (Gen AI) presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for educators. In this talk, Prof. Jiao will first examine the art of dialoguing with Gen AI using a four-phase methodological approach, supported by real-world cases. After that, Prof. Jiao will propose a framework for human-Gen AI collaboration, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between human and AI in enhancing the learning experience.

Keynote III: Technology Empowering Innovative Education: Three Typical Cases

Abstract
This keynote speech explores the effectiveness of emerging technologies adopted in innovative education. Three typical cases will be introduced and discussed. Case one adopts the 5P (Phenomenon, Problem, Plan, Prototype, Promotion) model in an entrepreneurial course. Case two pairs student teachers with a ChatGPT in a STEM course. Case three utilizes Internet+ technologies to cultivate interdisciplinary teaching literacy among normal university students under the concept of Outcome-Based Education (OBE).
