The Paths and Thoughts of Enabling Classroom Teaching with Artificial Intelligence

In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its deep penetration into the field of education have drawn widespread attention and profound reflection from the global education community. This study focuses on the core impact of AI technology on teachers’ professional identities, pointing out that AI is profoundly transforming and even reconstructing teachers’ inherent cognitive structures and accustomed teaching practices. Amid the AI wave, the teaching profession urgently needs to keep pace with the times and proactively adapt to the role transformation and intelligence upgrade demands brought about by technological changes. Looking to the future, this study proposes that the deeply integrated collaborative teaching model of “AI+Teacher” will constitute the core trend of educational development. This model emphasizes that AI is an enabler of teaching reform rather than a replacer of teachers, and that technology application should be people-oriented, with AI not taking over educational sovereignty. Human-computer collaboration is the direction of development for smart education, where AI agents and human teachers form complementary collaborative relationships based on their respective advantages, and empower the teaching classroom through intelligent teaching environments and other means.
