Analyzing Educational Relationships Using AI-Teacher Collaboration Model : A Virtual Scenario-Based Study

This study analyzes the effect of introducing artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the teacher-student relationship and educational human relationships and proposes an AI-teacher collaboration model to support the holistic development of learners. The importance of human interaction is explained based on Buber’s theory of the “I-Thou” and “I-It” relationships, and the qualitative improvement of interactions in an AI-based learning environment is discussed based on Dewey’s empirical educational theory. AI provides real-time analysis of learning data and customizes feedback, thus facilitating teachers in supporting emotional scaffolding and comprehensive learning to promote learning motivation and engagement. Through a virtual-scenario analysis, this study empirically examines whether the AI-teacher collaboration can maximize learners’ self-directed learning and educational performance. The results suggest that AI-teacher collaboration is key to the future paradigm shift in education.
