Toward the 4th Agenda 2030 Goal

The 2030 Agenda settles inclusion as a crucial goal. The index for inclusion underlines a set of resources to guide educational agencies through a process of inclusive development. One interesting model to achieve it is the Universal Design of Learning (UDL) framework, whose roots lie in the field of architecture and cognitive neuroscience. It provides options to enhance the executive functions also with the support of assistive technologies: studies have recently contributed to investigate how AI-innovated Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS), apps, and learning assessments can offer to the teachers the opportunities to differentiate and individualize learning, to diagnose factors of exclusion in education, and predict dropout, dyslexia, or autism disorder. After a discussion on the state of research and on the preparatory concepts, the chapter presents examples of AI-supported tools, and how they can scaffold executive functions; it wants also to urge a future-oriented vision regarding AI and to re-think the role of education in society.

INFORMATION BATTLE AS A FORM OF EDUCATIONAL WORK

The technology of the information battle is a two-stage activity in the formation of the students’ research and communication skills, as well as the ability to independently study the proposed topic and present it to the others. It optimizes the educational process, changes not only the student’s learning activity, but also the teacher’s position, makes it possible to individualize learning, improve the efficiency of the pedagogical process, ensuring the quality of specialist training at a competitive level. An option is given to use technology in a class on #СТОПВИЧСПИД.
