Revolution in the classroom: AI is transforming school education!
On October 1, 2025, the University of Kassel will host an important exchange that will focus on school development in the digital age. This event will bring together 250 teachers from three secondary schools. The event takes place at two central locations: the Georg Christoph Lichtenberg School and the AVZ university location. The aim of the event is to initiate sustainable change processes and support schools in their digital development by promoting cooperation between universities and schools and linking research with school practice.
The specialist lectures in the AVZ will deal with central developments and impulses for future-oriented school development. An important topic will be the reaction to the changing lives of young people, especially the influence of social media on learning. The focus is also on the question of changing exam formats in the age of artificial intelligence.
Practical workshops for teachers
The morning of the event will include practice-oriented workshops at the Lichtenberg School. Topics such as the use of artificial intelligence and apps in specialist lessons are central content. The participants will also be familiarized with the educational challenges of dealing with fake news and social media. Researchers from the MINT Hub will also give a talk on integrating AI in mathematics education, underlining the importance of digital transformation in the education sector.
The announcement of these events comes in a context characterized by a broad discussion about digital technologies and their application in education. Loud bpb.de The use of digital tools often involves additional work for teachers. They not only have to book computers, but also often have to transport the technology. Despite these challenges, artificial intelligence could spark a real revolution in education by individualizing teaching and responding to the diverse needs of students.
Challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence has the potential to automate routine tasks, giving teachers more time for interactive lessons and individual feedback. Generative AI models like ChatGPT, for example, can write high-quality texts and challenge existing exam formats. However, there are also concerns: the use of AI systems could challenge the learning and examination culture in schools. Data on teachers' attitudes towards AI shows that 62 percent feel uncertain about using these technologies and over half use AI sporadically, mainly for lesson preparation, according to the school portal deutsches-schulportal.de.
The market for AI applications in schools is growing. Statistics show that 207 AI applications have been identified for school use, with 158 of them being generative technologies. Overall, however, attention must also be paid to the associated challenges such as data protection and inequalities in access to technologies.
The upcoming event marks an important step in addressing the digitalized future of education and will be crucial for the further integration of theory and practice. The exchange between science and schools could lead to solutions that not only address the challenges of digitalization, but also prepare tomorrow's students in the best possible way for the requirements of a changing world.
