Mastering the Teacher–AI–Student Dynamic
Mastering the Teacher–AI–Student Dynamic
In today’s classrooms, AI has redefined the traditional teacher-student relationship into a teacher-AI-student dynamic. But how can educators confidently steer this new road without the proper driving skills?
At Explica IA, we empower teachers with the 15 competencies outlined in UNESCO’s AI Competency Framework, ensuring they are prepared to lead in the AI era. Here’s how:
Human-Centred Mindset: Develop a deep understanding of how AI enhances—not replaces—human agency in teaching.
Ethical Principles: Learn to apply ethical guidelines when integrating AI tools into lesson plans and classroom activities.
AI Techniques & Applications: Gain foundational knowledge of AI systems so you can teach with confidence and creativity.
Professional Growth: Access personalized learning paths and adaptive content designed to build your AI expertise progressively—from understanding to applying and creating.
Additionally, AI pedagogy proposes a set of comprehensive skills to validate and select appropriate AI tools and integrate them with pedagogical methods to support course preparation, teaching, learning, socialization, social caring, and learning assessment.
Teachers will develop the ability to assess when and how to use AI in an ethical and human-centred manner. With Explica IA as their companion, they become facilitators who can inspire critical thinking, foster inclusivity, and promote sustainable practices with AI.
