AI For Next Generation Teaching and Learning Environments (Editorial)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This themed issue, “AI for Next Generation Teaching & Learning Environments,” addresses the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping educational practices across school and higher education contexts. The adoption of these technologies signals a shift towards more adaptive, immersive, and data-informed learning environments. Despite this momentum, existing scholarship often presents these innovations in isolation, with limited attention given to their combined potential within integrated learning ecosystems. There is also a need for research that reflects diverse educational realities, particularly across varied socio-cultural and institutional settings. This issue responds to these gaps by bringing together studies that examine not only technological applications but also their pedagogical value, ethical implications, and relevance to equitable and sustainable education.
