School Children and the Challenge of Managing AI Technologies : Fostering a Critical Relationship Through Aesthetic Experiences

This edited volume recognises the need to cultivate a critical and acute understanding of AI technologies amongst primary and elementary school children, enabling them to meet the challenge of a human- and ethically oriented management of AI technologies. Focusing on school settings from both the national and international level to form comparative case studies, chapters present a robust conceptual and foundational framework within a global context as the idea of AI and our relationship to it advances apace. The book uses research garnered from interviews and observational data, qualitative and quantitative research, and theoretical findings gathered from single schools or institutions across the world. Providing an innovative perspective in promoting the importance of a critical, creative and ethical orientation based on aesthetic experiences, the book focuses on development in areas like visual arts, literature, environmental education, robotics, photography and screen education, movement and play. Ultimately, the book responds to an urgent and time-sensitive call to provide guidance on AI to primary education researchers and will be of interest to academics, scholars and researchers in the fields of primary and elementary education, technology in education, children's rights education, and moral and values education more broadly.
