Hub IA-Éducation

Il existe un large consensus sur les interventions qui améliorent les résultats scolaires. Le défi a toujours été de les adopter à grande échelle et de faire en sorte que les communautés défavorisées en bénéficient. Le domaine de l'IA en éducation connaît une croissance fulgurante, et l'espoir est qu'elle puisse devenir un outil essentiel pour aider les élèves, les enseignants et les éducateurs en général. Compte tenu de la mission de l'Institut Sangalkam, il est indispensable de suivre de près les avancées dans ce domaine et de déterminer quels aspects de l'IA en éducation sont les plus prometteurs pour améliorer l'apprentissage à grande échelle et à un coût abordable dans les environnements scolaires aux ressources limitées.

Environment
and Education
[3 Credits]

micro environment of the classroom: lighting, colors, furniture, temperature and noise to the macro factors including the home,
culture and technology (Gabi).
Topics▪ Physical Learning Environment: Optimal classroom layout and organization, access to necessary materials and resources, lighting and temperature management (Gabi)
▪ Home/Culture: Students' homes can be an environment that is conducive and complementary to learning or it can hinder and even reverse a student's advancement. As educators, we must reach into the students' home by educating the guardians on the importance of a healthy learning environment at home. Cultural aspects can impact students’ learning and objectives. Understanding culture and informing science-backed data on what is optimal for students is critical in impacting student success.

Science Behind
Learning
(neuroscience of
learning)
[4 Credits]
The human brain is the most complex organ and often considered the most complex structure in the universe.
There is still so much we do not know about the human brain but we have made strides in decoding parts of this
magnificent machine. This course will explore how the brain changes in response to sensory input, or stimuli, from
the environment. Learning is a biological activity that involves creating and strengthening connections between
neurons in the brain. These connections, called synapses, are formed into networks that give rise to all human
behavior, including learning.
Topics ▪ Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to change in response to stimuli
▪ Neurogenesis: The production of new neurons
▪ Neural Networks: Neurons that fire together, wire together
▪ Memory: How knowledge is committed to our brain and reactivating the networks of neurons that were programmed during the learning process
▪ Outside Stimulus: how external elements including: sleep, food, stress impact the brain and the learning process
