LONDON, May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- INSIGHTS, the global publication from Nord Anglia Education, has published two new articles taking an in-depth look at AI in education and the role of metacognition in teaching and learning.Exploring the role of AI in learninghttps://www.nordangliaeducation.com/insights/2024/articles/the-generative-generationIn its 'Generative Generation' feature, INSIGHTS explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, and whether the technology is making it easier for children to learn. Speaking to Nord Anglia's educators as well as leading experts from the world of academia, it also includes real-life examples of how Nord Anglia's schools are using AI in the classroom.For example, Nord Anglia's British International School in Kuala Lumpur has adapted the technology to create an AI-powered teaching assistant that can personalise learning, guide students through content exploration, and deepen their understanding through interactive activities. Learners define the topic they want to explore and the course specification they are working to, and the AI explores the content with them in a conversational way, enabling them to ask questions as they go.Dr Bruce Geddes, Deputy Head of Secondary at the school, told INSIGHTS that AI represents "the biggest opportunity we've had in our lifetimes, for many, many spheres, but particularly in education".Avenues: The World School in New York, which became part of Nord Anglia in 2023, encourages its students to use AI in their work. As an example, in an app development project students use ChatGPT to generate the bulk of the coding, then review, correct and refine it. This saves them "hours of manual work by leveraging the appropriate tool in an academically appropriate way," says Lia Muschellack, Director of Technology at the school.The school also has its own generative AI chatbot, Savvy, built in 2019 and now powered by open AI technology. It can answer queries, provide information, and engage in "diverse discussions ranging from academic topics to casual conversations"."We understand that our students will be actively leveraging these tools throughout their academic and professional pathways, so we want to make sure they not only understand the potentials and limitations, but that they have tinkered and truly experienced them," Muschellack explains.Metacognition: a learning superpowerIn its feature 'Metacognition
