National Scientific Seminar: Teaching and Learning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
On October 17, 2025, a national scientific seminar “Teaching and Learning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI): Challenges and Opportunities for Teachers” was held to present the results of the research “Digital Didactics Research: Application of Artificial Intelligence Elements in General Education (AI-didactics)”, No. P-EDU-23-1, which is a part of a national research project “Breakthrough in Educational Research”.
The seminar was opened by a leading researcher and project coordinator prof. dr. Airina Volungevičienė, who provided a conceptual and broader contextual perspective on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education, reviewing current initiatives and regulation at both the international and national levels. After introducing the seminar participants to the research project “DI-daktika”, its goal, objectives, and planned activities, significant attention was given to presenting and discussing the didactical aspects of using AI elements for teaching and learning, based on the completed analysis of scientific sources and empirical data. These presentations served as an important contribution to the subsequent seminar activity, where participants discussed in groups what new knowledge, skills, and attitudes school teachers require for effective teaching, learning and assessment.
To bring the results of the discussion into relevance and context, the seminar also featured the presentation of a draft AI competence taxonomy, providing fundamental insights for further activities within the research project „DI-daktika“. This national scientific seminar confirmed the significant interest of education community in the sustainable and effective integration of AI into educational practice, emphasizing the need to further develop didactic and digital competencies, the awareness of ethical AI usage aspects, sharing of best practices, and the need for critical thinking on the part of both teachers and learners.
