Review Quotes: "Accelerating AI capabilities is introducing both the opportunity and the requirement to reimagine education. Artfully blending discussions of technology and education, Uses of Artificial Intelligence in STEM Education is a seminal collection exploring the profound impact that AI will have on learning, instruction, and assessment. With themes of ethics, fairness, and inclusiveness woven throughout the book, this is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand how AI will fundamentally reshape the educational landscape."--James Lester, Goodnight Distinguished University Professor in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at North Carolina State University and Director of the National Science Foundation AI Institute for Engaged Learning
"This volume speaks to all science education scholars, offering a broad-ranging description of the field's current state regarding the integration of AI. Zhai and Krajcik use their wide-ranging experience to couple a comprehensive exploration of the topic with a critical evaluation and reflection on the progress to date and the significant challenges ahead. In light of the rapidly evolving nature of this phenomenon, the insights provided here are exceptionally important."-- Kent J. Crippen, Irving and Rose Fien Endowed Professor of STEM Education, University of Florida"Science educators have long pioneered the integration of emerging computing tools into the research and practices of STEM education... Zhai and Krajcik's foundational volume will accelerate critical thinking about and research-informed appropriations of frontier artificial intelligence advances into the richly interdisciplinary STEM education field. Our AI in Education scholarship benefits from their authors' contributions to the four themes of inquiry for the book's chapters--assessment, learning tools, teacher development, and ethics."--Roy Pea, David Jacks Professor of Education & Learning Sciences at Stanford University"Artificial intelligence (AI) dominates much of educational discourse these days. This comprehensive edited volume enriches the discussion. The book presents the benefits and challenges of incorporating AI into STEM education, particularly streamlining teaching practices and allowing inquiry-based and individualized learning approaches. Throughout, researchers stress the importance of interdisciplinary and action-based research that enhances-not entirely replaces-the human aspects of education with AI. This is also an open-access book, facilitating engagement with its content to further this emerging field collaboratively." -- E. G. Harrington, Choice
