Guest commentary: This idea is supposed to remedy Germany's Pisa weakness
One proposal aims to provide access to AI-supported learning. Almost everyone knows its model from childhood, says Daniela Gerd tom Markotten, Managing Director of the Hasso Plattner Institute.
Germany's ability to claim a place among the leading research and innovation locations internationally hinges on equipping young people with the necessary foundations. It is crucial that we enable them to comprehend technologies, question them critically, and responsibly shape them. In the age of Artificial Intelligence, these skills become increasingly important for students.
They must learn to organize and evaluate information, create their own digital content, and understand how software, algorithms, and AI function fundamentally. This requires a mastery of basic competencies like reading, writing, and mathematics. A Pisa study indicates that in Germany, more than anywhere else, academic success depends on the socioeconomic background of the learner.
In the realm of educational equity, targeted use of AI could present an opportunity. AI-driven adaptive digital or analog learning offers can precisely address the learning status of students by assembling individual learning content and worksheets necessary for the next learning step.
