AI in Social Studies Education: Tools for Thoughtful Practice With Generative Artificial Intelligence
The introduction of widely available generative AI tools has caused a frenzy of both positive and negative reactions. Between utopian visions and apocalyptic predictions of AI’s impact on education, there is a need to thoughtfully consider what education in the age of AI can and should look like. This volume focuses on the implications of AI technology for teachers in K–12 and university settings, providing a careful look at its affordances and drawbacks for social studies curriculum and teaching. Scholars specializing in the field of social studies education provide information and practical ideas for teaching with current technology, alongside frameworks for thinking about future iterations of AI. This book fills a critical need, especially among educators, to consider the current and potential future impacts of AI while avoiding the traps of alarmism or techno-utopianism. Whether skeptical or enthusiastic about AI, every social studies educator will find something useful to their practice in this book.
