Artificial intelligence in vocational education?

Artificial intelligence can now be found everywhere, whether it’s trade, industry or science. Only in education, the use of this technology does not seem to be ready yet. There are some projects where the first approaches take place. The goal is usually to allow more personalized learning. This can be achieved by evaluating and comparing the learner data. Pupils have preferences, strengths, and weaknesses, and learners’ data from previous test results and analysis of learning behaviors can be used to provide more coordinated learning or learning content for each individual student. Ultimately, all students should meet the minimum requirements for the respective courses.

But today, we are not so far in education today that you can use artificial intelligence nationwide. On the one hand, not all subjects are easy to use for the use of artificial intelligence, on the other hand, the teachers and the school must be prepared for the use of such technologies. Particularly in VET, the effort to get high quality data as the basis for personalization is very high. Practical work must be objectively and comparably evaluated and provided. Only in this way can meaningful activities be deduced and used with artificial intelligence automated in the classes. Targeted analysis of this data enables educators to better understand students’ learning progress and suggest customized exercises to better tailor lessons to each student’s individual needs

In any case, artificial intelligence will also find its way into vocational education and certainly make a valuable contribution as well. Personalized learning is already taking place. Students are increasingly using the information and media available online to further their education and are thus already one step ahead in the digital future.
