The Impact of AI and Robotics on Physical, Social-Emotional and Intellectual Learning Outcomes: An Integrated Analytical Framework
British Journal of Educational Technology, v51 n5 p1808-1825 Sep 2020
This qualitative study examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in learning designs from the perspective of learning sciences. The literature on the topic indicates that there is not enough research on including diverse learning outcomes in the designs for learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand how AI and robots impact physical, social-emotional and intellectual learning outcomes through the implementation of learning designs that are guided by selected design principles. In this study, the design-based research (DBR) methodology was employed for investigating learning in naturalistic contexts. The intervention was implemented in a primary school in which learners used educational robots. The main findings reveal that the development of an integrated analytical framework, which considers a broader spectrum of human potential, allows for analyzing students' learning outcomes in a more integral, inclusive and balanced way. This, in turn, promotes students' learning by using AI and robots. Another finding reveals that the impact of using AI and robotics on learning designs is reflected in learners' personal trajectories having different pathways and paces. Finally, the lessons learned and the challenges to be overcome are summarized, and recommendations are made for future research for the enhancement of learning experiences that use AI and robotics.
