10.4.2025

The Pedagogy Department of the ER IPP held an educational hackathon “Artificial Intelligence in Education: Benefits and Dangers of Use” within the framework of the University Science Days.

As part of the University Science Days, the Pedagogy Department of the ER IPP held an educational hackathon “Artificial Intelligence in Education: Benefits and Dangers of Use”. The event, the purpose of which was to create recommendations for the safe and effective use of artificial intelligence in the educational process, was attended by 2nd and 3rd year students majoring in “Secondary Education (Mathematics. Physics)” and “Special Education (Speech Therapy)” and “Special Education (Oligophrenopedagogy)”.

Participants in the online event followed the history of the emergence and process of evolution of artificial intelligence, the essence of its “work”, opportunities and examples of application in education.

During a lively discussion, students had the opportunity to express their views on the obvious problems they encountered in the process of using AI. The result of the hackathon was the formulation of recommendations for the appropriate use of AI in education: understanding the significance of the leading role of the teacher, educator in the educational process, and not AI, which cannot fully perceive human communication and pedagogical interaction; conscious use of AI based on understanding its advantages, risks, and legal and psychological and pedagogical consequences for the comprehensive development of a particular individual and humanity in general; the need to create a regulatory framework and formulate scientific and theoretical provisions on AI in education; ethical, non-excessive and responsible use to ensure meaningful interaction of a student/learner with AI.

The results of the hackathon will be students’ research papers.
