I-KASA
Informatikunterricht mithilfe von KI-Anwendungen für Schulkinder aus dem Ausland (Computer science lessons using AI applications for schoolchildren from abroad)

Dr. Kensuke Akao

The I-KASA project is located in the field of inclusion-oriented educational research. It focuses on "children with a migration background".

The project concentrates on the use of machine translation as assistive technology (AT) in the learning of children with a non-German original language in non-linguistic subjects (e.g. in STEM subjects) in order to reduce their language barriers to teaching materials through bilingual access.

Using the example of computer science in schools, the potential, but also the limits of AI translation in supporting the acquisition of new specialist knowledge and new specialist skills in children who are not yet able to adequately interpret the learning content in German are examined.

The project aims to contribute to equal opportunities in the achievement of learning outcomes in German mainstream schools, regardless of the schoolchildren's origin. The results of the project should ultimately serve as a basis for a collaborative relationship between learners and AI during the learning process (i.e. Augmented Intelligence in education) in order to increase the learning potential of children in subject lessons through the use of AI.
