How can we teach future skills for an AI Future in classrooms?

The problem is we can’t.

Students are being too protected by teachers. Teachers are protecting students from the future and what is going to happen.

Teachers and classrooms limit students from exploring different skills sets.

Artificiel Intelligence (AI)

Teaching Skills for an AI Future Artificial Intelligence (AI),  Is vastly growing

Two things that AI cannot comprehend is Creativity and Social Skills.

If Machines do not have these skills, this is the skills we need to teach and allow students to explore.

Statistics on the image show peoples emotions towards AI.

Future You

Logo Type

After designing a few different ideas, i have decided to go with the logo that i have circled in red. I believe that this simple shape along with the bold text and colour will be eye catching to chose who do not know what Future You is. The small curve adds less harsh lines to the logo allowing it to look more friendly & approachable.

Artefact Proposal

The biggest problem in education is that students are being too protected by teachers.

Teachers are protecting students from the future and what is going to happen.

Teachers do not  let students  explore different skills sets therefore i have created a strategy.

The strategy ‘Future you’ will work as a campaign and not only make students aware of how the automotive revolution will be part of their future, but will help them find their place within in it.

I propose to hold workshops that will inspire students to be more creative and find their place within the future before it even happens.

Paper Questionnaire & Results

For this questionnaire I took a picture of 2 classrooms that i have a lesson in. Both classrooms are similar but have different features. Out of the 2 i have a favourite, which i have previously spoke about. For this experiment i proposed to carry out a questionnaire to ask a selection of people, different ages, which classroom they would prefer to learn in.

The results matched the result that I predicted, 90% of people chose ‘Classroom 1’ as the classroom they preferred. This is also the classroom I prefer to be taught in.

Interview Results

Interview 3 Transcript

Questionnaire to explore the different classroom experiences’ that a teacher has had in their careers.

1. Throughout your career as a teacher what is your favourite aspect of teaching? Watching The children grow into amazing people and learn different skills.

2. What methods of delivery do you use in your sessions to give information to your students? I teach with activities that I find fun to engage the children with the subject area.

3. How do you ‘measure’ the content you have delivered has been understood by your students? So every week we do different tests however we not describe them as ‘tests’ yet we describe them to the students as an activity.

4. How do you think teaching had changed since you were taught? When I was taught it was a lot stricter and there was a lot more pressure on students. There needs be boundaries and more fun ways to allow the child to learn.

5. How does your classroom differ from the classroom you were taught in? The classroom I was taught was dark and stingy, there was no technology. However we did allow the students work to be shown more.

6. What has been the impact of technology in your classroom? We use iPads, our classroom is very modern. The children use their pens to express their selves on the ipads and interact on the boards.

7. What are your frustrations with the current education system? Children are graded, I believe that there should be a much more fairer and less harsh way to allow a students skills to grown and not be judged on just a number.

8. What would be your ideal classroom be like? Draw it if you like.

Interview Results

Interview 1 Transcript:

Questionnaire to explore the different classroom experiences’ that a teacher has had in their careers.

1. Throughout your career as a teacher what is your favourite aspect of teaching? Helping students who are seen as they are struggling, non-academic, non-traditional learners and help to build their confidence in their ability and their place on the course/world.

 2. What methods of delivery do you use in your sessions to give information to your students? Varity is definitely key. I think you have to tap into different learners needs. Auditory, Kinaesthetic and visual. So methods that tap onto all 3 of those. I feel like a lot of courses expect too much from students and don’t prescribe information clearly enough. 

3. How do you ‘measure’ the content you have delivered has been understood by your students? This is different tiers, when you ask them ‘one off questions’ ‘who can remember what we learnt last week? But also handing in work. 

4. How do you think teaching had changed since you were taught? What people are taught has changed. Courses are more specialised. I think there is more help in place for those who struggle, there is more understanding for people who need extra help. Overall, I think it has improved when people teach in a better and more prescript way than when I was in college or uni. 

5. How does your classroom differ from the classroom you were taught in? University wise it hasn’t changed that much. We had open rooms, with desks and we all had an assigned desk, you had to sit there. You worked on sketch books, you had to book into photography studios. There is more hot desking and studio sharing nowadays. 

 6. What has been the impact of technology in your classroom? I think the ability to teach digital subjects has grown with the implementation of mac suites and interactive white boards. We couldn’t teach Web Design, Coding, Adobe, without having an interactive board. When we have been in a room without computers, we have allowed people to use BOYD for research, you do not have to just use pen and paper. I also have taught digital subjects offline using flash cards allowing group activity. 

 7. What are your frustrations with the current education system? It always feels very top down orientated where by management dictate what happens instead of corresponding with teachers on the front line. 

8. What would be your ideal classroom be like? Draw it if you like. Group tasks.Everyone looking at the same boardAdaptable.Modular spaces.

Survey Monkey

Above are more questions & answers i recieved from this survey.

Above one question that I was surprised about was: Which do you think effects a classroom the most? The question was a multiple choice that enabled the student to choose from the follow: The seating, The lighting, The room size, Windows or Technology. All answers has a result of 21% each apart from windows with a 16% vote. 

I was very surprised at the results from this question as I did not expect all the answers to be chosen.

Survey Monkey / Results

The Student questionnaire I carried out was on Survey Monkey. 

I used Survey monkey for questionnaire as it is for the target audience of 16-22 Students therefore i believe a digital questionnaire fits the audience more.

My first question: Did you/Do you enjoy learning in school? Had a result of 16% choosing ‘Yes all the time’, 68% choosing ‘Sometimes’ and 16% choosing ‘No not at all’. I am not surprised by the result as the stereotype of students is that they do not enjoy school.
