Taico Research Path

As described in our Project Aim, we are seeking effects that support teachers and AI educational systems in leveraging their own strengths and overcoming their independent weaknesses. As a result of this search, we expect to revise guidelines for AI-ED developers, give recommendations for teacher practices, and provide professional development in the context of AI. Furthermore, we believe these findings enable us to support the development of teacher AI policies and inspire policymakers. To achieve this, we examine throughout the project 6 different hybrid intelligent educational systems.

Project Path
The following figure illustrates our project plan. According to this plan, all 6 Taico Cases are examined through three different research strands. This enables us to collect evidence across a broad spectrum of scenarios, allowing us to define a holistic model that describes the effects of teacher AI complementarity.

Research Strands

Experimental Research: Within observation and field studies, each Taico case conducts experiments to identify effects that support teacher AI complementarity, mainly from a technological perspective.

Design-Based Research: We follow with this research strand an iterative approach to identify effects that support teacher AI complementarity based on set interventions, interviews, and observations mainly from the teacher perspective.

Policy Co-Design: Throughout the whole project, we open our discourse in public events (e.g., Dialogue Labs), in which we reflect on our intermediate results, also in regard to ethical considerations, gender dimensions, and inclusivity.
