Artificial Intelligence and Educational Innovation Discussed at HaFPES 2026 Academic Forum
The role of artificial intelligence in education, the three-tier governance model, assessment methods, and human-centric innovation approaches were discussed at the HaFPES 2026 forum.
At the HaFPES 2026 academic forum, the impacts of artificial intelligence and digital transformation on the educational system, human-centric educational innovation, governance models, assessment and evaluation processes, and citizenship competencies were comprehensively addressed.
Delegation of Authority in Governance Model
From a system management perspective, the requirements for delegation of authority and decentralization in educational management under a three-tier government model were discussed. It was emphasized that institutional frameworks must be developed and responsibilities clearly defined.
Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem
It was stated that artificial intelligence will not replace teachers, but rather assume a supportive role in a responsible educational ecosystem. It is crucial that technology aligns with learning goals and the actual needs of students.
Digital Transformation and Data-Driven Management
It was expressed that investments should be made in shared data platforms, inter-institutional interoperability should be increased, and data-driven early warning mechanisms should replace manual reporting.
Assessment and Evaluation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
It was emphasized that evaluation should be based not only on the final product, but also on the traces of the learning process and competency development. Educational institutions are expected to audit the accuracy of artificial intelligence-supported outcomes.
Digital Citizenship and Responsible Use
Although students have high access to artificial intelligence tools, it was noted that there are areas for improvement in proactively verifying information and paying attention to ethical rules.
Learning Science and Neuroscience Approaches
It was stated that the focus of pedagogical innovations has shifted from content delivery to developing students' thinking skills, with critical thinking and metacognition holding critical importance.
Early Childhood Education and Holistic Development
International experiences and practical approaches supporting self-regulation, language development, physical health, and holistic human development in the early years of life were shared.
