ALGORITHMS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS – OPPORTUNITIES AND LIMITATIONS
ALGORITHMS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS – OPPORTUNITIES AND LIMITATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Algorithm application is now a common topic in scientific and popular sciencepublications. More and more practitioners and theoreticians associated with teaching, upbring-ing, and therapy are turning to it, hoping to make their activities more effective and improvetheir organization.Research Aim: This article presents the possibilities and limitations of introducing algorithmsto the educational process.Evidence-based Facts: Over the past years, the number of publications dedicated to AI andthe process of algorithmization, has increased significantly. Defining the concept of an algo-rithm, and pointing out its connection with machine learning and AI have paved the way forapplying algorithms in many areas of our lives from applications used on personal devices, tomedicine, banking, educational policy, and scientific research. The increasing popularizationof algorithmization and easier access to this technology have sparked a discussion about itslimitations and dangers affecting adults and children, either directly or indirectly.Summary: Practitioners and researchers involved in educational processes still lack knowledgeof the topic under discussion. Few scientific or popular science publications prepared by realspecialists are aimed at this audience. Without a thorough understanding of algorithmization,machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the introduction of algorithms to the educationalprocesses may not only fail to achieve the intended results but also lead to disorders in the de-velopment of children, adolescents, and adults.
