Supporting, Not Solving: Human-Centered AI Systems in Education

Educational technologies have evolved significantly over recent decades, with AI representing the latest frontier in this progression. Current applications range from adaptive learning platforms that personalize content delivery to automated systems that provide immediate feedback. The challenge lies in developing AI educational technologies that enhance human capabilities while respecting the autonomy and agency of learners and educators. My research aims to design, implement, and evaluate human-centered AI systems in educational contexts. By prioritizing human needs and values throughout the development process, my work seeks to advance the understanding of how AI can enhance educational practices while preserving the learner’s independence and the educator’s role.
