A Proposal: Investigating the Effects of Artificial Intelligence on Teacher-Student Interactions

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a more prominent part of everyday life. Our research proposal aims to explore the effects of implementing AI into education. We want to investigate the effects of utilizing AI as the main method of instruction in high school math classes. Specifically, we want to study how the implementation of AI affects the amount of time that teachers can spend interacting with students. We hypothesize that in a classroom that uses AI as the main method of instruction, teachers will have more time to interact with students. To conduct this research, we propose recording math classes in one high school and documenting the amount of time that teachers spend working with students each semester when traditional methods of teaching are used and when AI is implemented. If our hypothesis were to be supported by the results of this study, then we could share this information with other schools in the district or on a broader scale to demonstrate the benefits of using personalized AI in classrooms. This study could show the potential benefits of using AI in education and how it could influence the amount of time that teachers can spend interacting with students.
