Artificial intelligence in education

Overview

As part of Singapore's National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy, as well as to support the implementation of the EdTech Masterplan 2030, MOE is harnassing AI to help our students learn better and deeper, and teachers to teach and learn better.

MOE's position on AI in education

MOE's approach to AI in education emphasises responsible and age- and developmental- appropriate use of AI in teaching and learning as students learn about AI, learn to use AI, learn with AI and learn beyond AI.

MOE AI-in Education (AIEd) Ethics Framework

The MOE AI-in-Education (AIEd) Ethics Framework, builds on the Model AI Governance Framework by the Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority to address education-specific use and risks, and incorporates key beliefs from the Ethos of the Teaching Profession.

The MOE AIEd Ethics Framework seeks to:

1. Guide the safe and responsible development and governance of AI for teaching and learning.
2. Ensure our AIEd practices are in alignment with our professional beliefs as expressed in our Ethos of the Teaching Profession.

The MOE AIEd Ethics Framework outlines four principles of Agency, Inclusivity, Fairness and Safety.

MOE AI use cases to support the “Transforming Education through Technology” Masterplan 2030

MOE delivers pedagogically sound AI tools with in-build safety guardrails through the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS), our national online platform for teaching and learning.

These AI tools support greater customisation and personalisation of student learning and seek to further augment teachers' professional practice:

1. Teaching Assistants

2. Feedback Assistants

3. Learning Assistant (LEA)

LEA helps students learn by asking guiding questions. It takes on different roles to encourage students to think in different ways, making learning more engaging and interactive.

4. Adaptive Learning System (ALS)

ALS creates a personalised learning path for each student by giving them custom recommendations and feedback based on their readiness. It currently supports Primary 5 to Secondary 2 Mathematics and Upper Secondary Geography. More subjects and levels will be added over time.
