Title: Pedagogical Theories and Research Design of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Abstract: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has attracted the attention of researchers around the globe. However, it remains a challenge for researchers and school teachers to apply AI technologies to school settings, not to mention designing AIED (Artificial Intelligence in Education) research or teaching plans with support from pedagogical theories. In this talk, Prof. Hwang is going to introduce the fundamental conceptions and applications of AI in school settings and professional training; following that, design principles of AIED research and relevant pedagogical theories are presented. In addition, several examples are given to demonstrate how to conduct quality AIED studies.
