EMOTIONAL SKILLS IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT SCHOOL: TEACHERS’ TRAINING AND STUDENTS’ OUTCOMES

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a viable tool for transforming the educational landscape, including its use in Special Education. Research on the potential benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is growing, particularly in terms of satisfying the needs of students (Aruanno, Carruba, et al., 2024). These systems improve learning outcomes and encourage student engagement (Fazil et al, 2024). Chatbots, virtual tutors, and AI- powered educational assistants help to customize and scaffold their learning experiences (Chen et al., 2023). AI can support students with different capacities and provide inclusive learning environments. Recent research has highlighted the promise of AI in promoting accessibility. Based on the results of an exploratory survey, this Mixed Methods research aims to highlight the training teachers' needs about the use of AI and how to integrate innovation, tradition, and emotional skills in school to comprehensively train all students, no one excluded.
