Description
This book brings together global experts to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in early childhood and primary education.
Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical case studies, it examines how AI technologies can enrich learning, empower educators, and address key challenges, from the evolving needs of young learners to ethical considerations, digital equity, and teacher preparedness. Topics covered in the book include AI-assisted bilingual language development, robot-supported pedagogy, generative AI integration, and AI-driven assessment tools. Through real-world examples and research- based strategies, the book demonstrates how AI can support personalised learning, foster creativity, and improve educational outcomes without replacing the vital role of teachers. It encourages educators to engage with AI in a confident and critical manner, offering guidance on implementation while maintaining a strong focus on inclusion, child development, and responsible practice. Written in clear, accessible language, this book is a practical guide to the opportunities and challenges of AI-enhanced education in the years ahead.
This timely resource will appeal to educators, researchers, and students of educational technology, early childhood education, and primary education, as well as policy professionals interested in understanding how to meaningfully integrate AI into early learning environments.
