ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE CHANGE OF TRADITIONAL PARADIGMS IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of machines to mimic human abilities such as reasoning, learning, planning, or creativity. Its dynamic and rapid development exerts a significant impact on the field of educational psychology. The text aims to discuss how AI modifies the approach to cognitive processes, motivation, performance assessment, personalization of learning, etc., as well as to present the latest empirical findings, offer a theoretical framework for rethinking the roles of a teacher, learner, and student in digital learning environments, and emphasize the psychological aspects of education. The paper outlines a new paradigm of an "adaptive learning system" that integrates AI technologies with psychological principles of effective learning. AI technologies contribute to changing traditional educational paradigms. The rise of AI in education brings new opportunities as well as major challenges. From a psychological point of view, the implications concern individualization of learning, students' self-regulation, the emotional climate of learning, and the relationship between a pupil, student, and teacher. Ethical reflections must focus on the issues of transparency of algorithms, privacy, equality of access, and responsibility for decision-making. To avoid the risk of dehumanizing education, the human dimension in education needs to be preserved so that individuals are raised and educated as beings in their full complexity. AI can be a valuable tool but its use must be guided by respect for the psychological needs of students and the ethical principles of the educational process.
