Educational innovation: Exploring the potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence in cognitive schema building

Abstract

This study explores the use of generative artificial intelligence to enhance teaching and learning experience, focusing on strengthening and consolidating cognitive schemas. Research reveals that schemas can profoundly influence the improvement of the learning experience and promote the assimilation of new types of information and retention in students' memory. To improve the teaching and learning experience, the advantages, obstacles, and potential future trajectories of utilizing these technologies were examined by conducting a thorough literature review and analyzing relevant studies. Findings indicate that generative artificial intelligence has the potential to personalize learning, diversify educational content, and improve teaching efficiency and scalability. However, it also poses challenges related to content quality, data privacy, and equity in access to personalized learning. Future research should focus on the effectiveness of educational tools based on generative AI that promote equity and inclusion, ethical approaches, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, this study provides a solid foundation for understanding and harnessing the potential of generative artificial intelligence in enhancing cognitive schemas, thereby promoting more effective, inclusive, and personalized education.
