The arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday school life is fundamentally changing the learning landscape. While teachers are increasingly using AI-powered tools for lesson planning, material creation, and even grading, students often face bans. This differing handling of AI in the classroom raises questions about fairness and the challenges of contemporary education.
Studies and surveys show a clear trend: More and more teachers are using AI tools to optimize their daily work. Programs like ChatGPT support the creation of teaching materials, while specialized software like Gradescope or Cograder automate the evaluation of student work, thus reducing the time required. This allows teachers to focus more on the individual support of students.
Although students also recognize and use the advantages of AI for school purposes, they often encounter bans or restrictions. The fear of plagiarism and concerns about learning success lead many schools to view the use of AI by students critically. This discrepancy between the use of AI by teachers and the restrictions for students leads to incomprehension and discussions about double standards in the education system.
The different treatment of teachers and students in dealing with AI raises the question of fair conditions in the classroom. Students argue that the use of AI for grading by teachers, while they themselves are denied the use of similar tools, is unfair. The discussion also revolves around transparency in dealing with AI: Should students disclose the use of AI in their work? And how can it be ensured that AI tools do not lead to discrimination, for example by disadvantaging non-native speakers?
The challenges posed by the use of AI in education require new pedagogical concepts and clear guidelines. Blanket bans are not very effective. Instead, schools should explore the potential of AI and at the same time establish clear rules for its use by students. Promoting media literacy and critical engagement with AI are central aspects. An open dialogue between teachers, students, and parents is essential to find a common path for the use of AI in education.
The integration of AI into everyday school life is an ongoing process. It is not just about implementing new technologies, but also about redefining the understanding of learning and teaching in the digital age. The development of AI competence among students and teachers is crucial to seize the opportunities of digitalization and at the same time master the challenges. Education must adapt to the changing conditions in order to prepare students for a future in which AI will play an increasingly important role.
