Generative AI: 3 Ways It Supports Learning, According to Parents and Students
Given how crucial education is for personal growth, it's vital that we use generative AI in teaching and learning in a way that's both thoughtful and involves everyone. That's why Google for Education makes sure to get feedback from teachers, students, parents, and school administrators when we're working on new AI features.
By really listening to what our community needs, we can build products that make a real difference for students and educators. To help with this, we teamed up with Google's Responsible AI and Technology & Society research teams to talk to high school students and their parents about how generative AI is affecting their learning.
Here's what parents and students shared about how generative AI helps with their learning:
- Real-time feedback for parents. With instant updates on how their kids are doing in school, parents can step in when needed, figure out if they're pushing too hard, and know where to focus their efforts going forward.
- Enhanced learning about unfamiliar subjects. Generative AI can add to what's taught in class, helping students dive deeper and get more context on new topics.
- Customized pathways for people with learning differences. By looking at how someone learns, generative AI can tailor educational paths and materials to fit their cognitive abilities.
Teachers will always be the heart of the classroom
--------------------------------------------------
Even though generative AI is set to play a big role in education, human teachers are still irreplaceable. AI can boost learning without taking away from it, but we need to keep things safe and clear. That's why having rules and being open about how AI works is so important.
Keeping teachers involved is at the heart of how Google for Education develops and designs its products. This guides the features we add and the safety measures we put in place. We'll always work closely with educators and schools, keeping a tight feedback loop with users as we develop our tools.
With generative AI helping out, teachers can better meet the diverse needs of their students, spend less time on paperwork, and focus more on what they're great at: inspiring and challenging students. They use their experience and skills like listening and empathy to create a space where students can explore and grow. When top-notch teachers have the best tools, their students can achieve anything.
As one student in our research put it, "Teachers always make sure I'm okay, that I have the right mindset for class. I think I couldn't do it without them. I'd probably be in a whole different place right now."

Super cool to see how AI can boost learning! I love the idea of personalized study tools, but I wonder if it’ll make kids too dependent on tech. 🤔

A IA generativa na educação é uma mudança de jogo! Meu filho adora como ela personaliza o aprendizado, tornando-o divertido e envolvente. Não é perfeita, no entanto; às vezes a IA se desvia um pouco do tópico. Mas no geral, é uma grande ajuda para acompanhar os trabalhos escolares. Definitivamente recomendo experimentar! 👍

教育における生成AIは革命的だよ！子供が学習をパーソナライズしてくれるから、楽しくて参加しやすいって言ってる。完璧じゃないけど、時々AIが話題から外れることがある。でも全体的に、学校の勉強を追いつくのに大いに役立つね。ぜひ試してみることをお勧めするよ！👍

Generative AI in education is a game-changer! My kid loves how it personalizes learning, making it fun and engaging. It's not perfect, though; sometimes the AI gets a bit off-topic. But overall, it's a huge help in keeping up with schoolwork. Definitely recommend giving it a shot! 👍

교육에서 생성 AI를 사용하는 건 정말 멋지네요. 아이가 학습을 즐기는 모습을 보니 기뻐요. 참여형이고 흥미로운 내용이 많아요. 다만, AI 제안이 가끔 빗나가는 게 아쉬워요. 그래도 좋은 시작이에요! 👍
