YesEducation technologyIn the wave of innovationShanghai transport universityThe teaching development centre actively embraced the transformation of the aig, which has been officially online in recent days. "Ai trainingThe assistant teaching function, which was introduced by the teaching development centre in 2023 as an "ai question and answer system" for teaching assistants, has once again taken the lead in the country's higher education institutions in trying to integrate the local knowledge base with a large model as an optimisation algorithm aid tool into the teacher training system. This marks a new step forward for the pedagogical development centre in improving the interactive and individualized learning experience of teaching, as well as an in-depth exploration of the technological frontier of education in the field of teaching development in higher education。
“ai training assistant” is an integrated smart chat robot that provides 7x24 self-study assistance to teachers during their training. This new function has been applied at the centre's “faculty” training camp, where participants interact with ai aaa assistants by sending attention and messages to the training public. As a first step in the development of teaching and learning centres, the faculty training camp, which is centred on “teacher nucleus”, introduced the “assessment-train-accreditation” three-way system of pedagogical capacity-building for teachers and successfully entered the shanghai transport university non-academic education brand project in may 2024. The introduction of aai assistants will further integrate innovative teaching practices and the latest technological innovations in teaching, and will help students to gain ownership and follow up on their knowledge。
Ai training assistant functional demonstration
The ai training assistant design takes into account the diversity and complexity of education and is able to address issues related to teacher training, ranging from the interpretation of basic concepts to the discussion of complex theories, and provides an exhaustive and informative response。
Example 1: in-depth access to local knowledge library
Questioners: what is faculty
Ai auxiliary: faculty is the overall name of the teacher, teaching staff and is usually used for teaching staff at universities or colleges. In the teaching development system of the centre for the development of teaching and learning, faculty refers to university teachers, who are central to the development of teaching, and need to constantly upgrade their teaching skills and literacy. The core curriculum framework for the teaching of faculty teachers is a standard system for guiding and evaluating the teaching capacity of university teachers and a summary of their knowledge, skills and behaviour in the teaching process。
The answer of the aai assistant is not confined to a simple interpretation of the english word “faculty”, but a further dual interpretation of faculty as the “cost nucleus framework for teachers”. To illustrate the precision of the aai assistant's access to the local knowledge base, avoiding interference with a large amount of unconnected information on the internet, and significantly increasing the relevance of question and answer questions。
Example 2: creative thinking guide
Participants asked how the 10-minute micro-gramming of a remote sensing location knowledge point could be designed using scqa (“situation-conflict-question-responding”)
Aaa: in designing a 10-minute micro-gramming course on remote sensing orientation points, the soqa pyramid principles can be used to ensure logical and attractive content. The following is a possible example of an outline:
1. Scenario:
- describe the wide application of remote sensing technology in modern societies, particularly its importance in the field of positioning and navigation。
- introduction of a practical case, such as the use of satellite positioning systems for navigation, to provide an intuitive view of remote sensing positioning to the audience。
2. Conflict:
- to identify possible challenges and problems in remote sensing positioning techniques, such as signal interference, accuracy problems, etc。
- the importance of remote sensing in locating knowledge points and the need to address them。
Question:
- a question arises, such as “how can we ensure accurate location information in remote sensing positioning?”
- inducing the curiosity of the audience to reflect on and focus on the issue。
4. Answer (answer):
- presentation of the rationale for remote sensing positioning, including the working principles and applications of satellite positioning systems。
- explain how to locate through satellite signals and introduce different positioning techniques and systems。
The above scqa structure was designed to enable the presentation to proceed in a structured manner and to generate interest and reflection among the audience, while ensuring that it effectively conveyed key knowledge points within 10 minutes。
The above demonstration examples show that the aai aides demonstrated their ability to integrate the public and local knowledge bases, providing an inspiring framework. First, the aai assistant is well placed to use the local knowledge base, using appropriately the scqa design model “case-conflict-question-a answer”, and then integrates the content of the public knowledge base and makes more detailed recommendations based on specific teaching content. Ai training assistants can help participants build logical and attractive speaking programmes and encourage them to explore and solve practical problems, reflecting their high level of handling complex teaching concepts and their potential to guide higher-level thinking。
Technical advantages of ai training assistants
The application of the ai training assistant will provide an intellectual impetus to teacher training and help learners to better understand teaching methods and improve the effectiveness of learning。
:: customized learning resources: aaa provides customized learning resources for each participant, ensures that all teachers have access to targeted answers and identifies the path best suited to their own pedagogical reform。
• individualized coaching and feedback: ais can provide customized coaching and feedback based on the individual characteristics and learning progress of each participant to help them upgrade their teaching skills more quickly。
• increased efficiency of training: aaa has improved the efficiency and responsiveness of training, and trainees are able to quickly obtain the required pedagogical support。
• continuous and iterative optimization: aai auxiliaries continue to learn and update, incorporate the latest teaching concepts and ensure that training content is cutting edge and adaptable。
• promotion of innovations in teaching methods: the introduction of aai assistants has provided new ideas and tools for innovation in teaching methods and has contributed to the diversification of teaching methods。
• round-the-clock support: unlike manual counselling, ais assistants can help at any time, so that trainees can receive support when needed, free of time and location。
In addition to being integrated into the teacher training system, the future teaching and development centre will explore the introduction of aigc technology in the advisory and report interpretation of the multiple teaching effectiveness assessment (mate) to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of assessments, provide more valuable feedback and support to assess teachers in a timely manner, and help teachers better understand and improve their own teaching practices。
Finally, based on the “assessment-training-accreditation” three-pronged system of teacher capacity-building, the centre will continue to explore and apply agc technology, continuously promote innovation in the development of business and development planning among other teachers of the centre, provide more intelligent, efficient and personalized services to teachers, meet the new era of intellectual education and promote the improvement of the quality of teaching at all levels of higher education。
