The Science Teacher—March/April 2024 (Volume 91, Issue 2)

By Tanya MacMartin

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm, consequently bringing a hurricane to the seas of education. The purpose of this article is to encapsulate commonly used classroom strategies into practices that can effectively build content acquisition yet preserve academic integrity. Implementing these best practices is as simple as knowing the ABCs of Teaching with AI: Apply, Build, and Collaborate. Encouraging students to be responsible users of content gathered from AI while primarily focusing instruction on the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) will support authentic learning in an age of AI. AI is here to stay; educators must adjust their methodology to allow students to grow and learn alongside its capabilities. By embracing the knowledge available through AI and adjusting instructional practices, educators can support using AI as a tool for growth and not a crutch hindering stride.
