Abstract

This research project investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used with teachers, students and the school community to improve the quality, methods and experience of teaching in Brazil. Semi-structured interviews will be carried out to collect qualitative data, analyzed thematically. Based on the results obtained, prototypes of AI systems will be developed using socially responsible design and co-design. It is expected to improve the quality of teaching, increase engagement, reduce the administrative burden on teachers and promote inclusion. The project also aims to increase AI literacy and influence educational policies in Brazil.
