How AI is changing school education. The use of artificial intelligence in the educational process

Digital transformation is actively affecting the school education system. Teachers are facing an increasing workload, lack of time, and the need to constantly update their knowledge and at the same time improve the quality of teaching. In these circumstances, there is an urgent need for effective digital tools that really help — in particular, artificial intelligence technologies.

JustCode, together with SDU University, launched the course "Application of artificial Intelligence in the educational process" to help teachers not only familiarize themselves with AI, but also learn how to apply it in the real educational process.

AI in education: global context and cases

In many countries, AI is already integrated into the education system. In South Korea, digital assistants are used to adapt tasks to students' abilities. Singapore has AI—based progress monitoring systems. In Finland— voice assistants are available to students at any time to receive consultations.

All of these solutions have the same effect: they free up the teacher's time, make learning personalized, and help students receive better feedback. This is not a teacher's replacement, but his reinforcement.

Why did we decide to create this course?

Before launching the course, we conducted a casting call: in-depth interviews and surveys among school teachers in Kazakhstan. The goal is to understand what real difficulties they are facing and what is missing in the current system.

The results were unequivocal: — Teachers are overloaded with routine — checks, reports, preparation of materials. — Most people are interested in AI, but they don't know where to start or how to use it safely.

This is how the course "Application of artificial intelligence in the educational process" was born. The program is not about abstract lectures, but practical solutions for everyday teaching work. We have included topics that teachers really need: automation, personalization, working with analytics and feedback. All training is based on real—world scenarios, from lesson preparation to individual student support.

What will this course give school teachers?

1. Save time by automating routine processes (checking assignments, generating materials, maintaining documentation).
2. Improving the effectiveness of teaching through the use of analytics and personalization.
3. Growing digital confidence — teachers will learn how to use AI tools consciously and safely.
4. Ready—made tools for work - at the end of the course, two full-fledged AI services are created, ready for use in educational practice.

All the solutions that the course participants will master can be immediately used in the educational process.

What projects will students create during the course?

The course ends with two final projects.:

— AI assistant for teachers - automates lesson planning, task review, and reporting. — AI tutor for the student - helps in self—preparation, explains complex topics and adapts to the student's level.

Both projects are customized to the needs of a particular teacher and become a full-fledged work tool by the end of their studies.

How will the course affect the field of education

Teaching teachers modern digital technologies is the foundation for a long—term transformation of the entire educational environment. Teachers using AI are able to: — involve students in learning more effectively; — carry out individual work even with large classes; — expand pedagogical tools; — increase the overall digital maturity of the school.

The emergence of such specialists triggers a wave of changes, from approaches to learning to educational policy.

Why is it important to introduce AI into education now?

The Government of Kazakhstan has approved the Concept of AI development until 2029. One of her priorities is the introduction of AI in the field of education and the development of human capital. That is why it is important to start with the training of personnel who will be able to implement and use AI meaningfully and effectively.

The sooner teachers start working with AI, the more confident they will feel in the digital reality in which their students will live and learn.

Participation in the Tech Orda program

The program "Application of artificial intelligence in the educational process" is included in the list of courses supported by Tech Orda. This means that teachers can study for free — with a grant.

The grant support allows to expand access to the program and make AI tools a part of daily practice in Kazakhstani schools.

Conclusion

The introduction of AI into school education is not an experiment, but a necessity. For technologies to really work, you need to start with those who apply them — teachers.

The course "Application of artificial intelligence in the educational process" is an investment in teachers, in the quality of education and in the future of the Kazakh school.
