Abstract
The shiny allure of recent Al developments has been making headlines in recent years with the popularisation of large language models. Yet, the full potential of Al in educational research and practice remains largely untapped. This talk will navigate the confluence of Learning Sciences and Al, delving into three distinct conceptualizations of Al in educational research and practice. By drawing upon robust research evidence, I will unpack the benefits and limitations of each conceptualisation, painting a nuanced picture of how Al can be harnessed, grounded in our deep understanding of human learning processes and human values. The talk will conclude that against many tech leaders arguments, genAI solutions on their own are unlikely to revolutionise or democratise education. The journey of such changes is more than a tech challenge; it’s a human and ecosystem one. And as we make strides, we should not be losing focus on what matters the most and how our research can contribute to it.
