Introduction
Welcome to this recording of Supertutor AI, where we explore how artificial intelligence can support all learners. In this session, we will focus on generative AI chat tools and other AI tools designed to assist educators in supporting their students. From helping students with reading and writing to engaging with video content and serving as a personal tutor, we will dive into various examples and tools that can enhance the learning experience.
The Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem
To better understand the significance of AI tools in education, let's briefly discuss Benjamin Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem. Back in the 80s, Benjamin Bloom conducted research to find ways to improve student achievement. He found that conventional teaching methods in a one-teacher classroom resulted in most students scoring average, while only a small percentage achieved exceptional results. However, with the implementation of Mastery Learning, where teachers ensured that every student mastered the content before moving on, there was a significant increase in test scores. Bloom also noted that personal tutoring led to a two Sigma increase, indicating that students who were below average could reach above-average scores with personalized support. With the advancements in AI, we now have the opportunity to provide personalized tutoring support to every student, thus moving closer to Bloom's two Sigma goal.
