Artificial intelligence forms a new reality of life that has a direct impact on the socialisation processes of children as well as on family communication.
The project deals with the pedagogical challenges that go hand in hand with these social and family changes.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology presents people with new challenges. AI forms a new reality of life that has a direct impact on the socialisation processes of children, as well as on intra-family communication behaviour.
The project "I'm not a Robot - working with artificial intelligence in early childhood education" deals with the pedagogical challenges that go hand in hand with these social and family changes.
The project "I'm not a robot: working with artificial intelligence in early childhood education" is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
Only a few publications describe the relevance of the topic of AI for educational work. Also, pedagogical principles for the use and handling of AI in preschool education are hardly available at present. The increasing penetration of everyday life by AI is a new challenge for preschool educational institutions. Implications arising from the interaction between humans and AI in everyday life should also be fundamentally understood by educators in order to be able to derive pedagogical principles for action.
In the project "I'm not a Robot", four European project partners are developing pedagogical instructions which, after successful testing, are going to be integrated into their curricula.
The project is funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Commission from 03/01/2021 until 08/31/2023.
In the project, the partners are developing and testing a digital method box. It contains pedagogical principles for the use and handling of AI in pre-school education. Pedagogical specialists will find innovative didactic methods and interesting materials to be utilized in kindergarten and daycare centers.
In addition, the project "I'm not a ROBOT" is creating a training module that can be used throughout Europe to teach pedagogical basics that are essential for using the digital method box in preschool educational institutions. This is supplemented by eLearning applications for self-reflection and deepening of knowledge.
