Sikan School Partners with Pw. to Train Teachers on AI Integration
Sikan School has launched a training program for 120 teachers to focus on using AI as a tool for critical thinking rather than a replacement for learning.
As artificial intelligence becomes capable of generating images, videos, and lesson plans in minutes, the role of educators is shifting. According to a report by Thai Post, Sikan School has partnered with Pw. to conduct an intensive training program for 120 teachers. The initiative aims to address the challenge of integrating AI into the classroom while ensuring that students develop independent critical thinking skills rather than becoming overly reliant on automated tools.
For residents and those interested in the Thai education sector, this development highlights a proactive approach to the rapid advancement of generative AI. The training emphasizes that the primary goal for modern educators is not merely technical proficiency with AI, but the ability to design learning environments where technology supports, rather than replaces, the cognitive development of students. By focusing on pedagogical strategies that encourage students to think for themselves, the school seeks to mitigate the risk of learning skill degradation caused by excessive AI dependency.
While the training program is currently underway, the long-term impact on student performance and the specific methodologies adopted by these teachers remain to be confirmed. Observers will be watching to see how these classroom strategies evolve as AI tools continue to become more sophisticated and accessible in the academic landscape.
