NO ONE LEFT BEHIND: THE FIRST “AIDAGOGY” STRATEGY FOR PIE (PARTNERSHIP IN EDUCATION) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
There are digital divides for pupils in Southeast Asia, especially in the aspect of AI for assessment and feedback. From digital tools to AI, the related research communities remain solo for delivering educational robots with machine learning capabilities from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) discipline. Huge work has been committed for Educational Technology (EdTech) researchers for a crossed disciplinary effort (STEM with educational theory), including British Council funded PIE for women programme, aiming to bridge the gap and to promote equality. A series of educational robotics projects, e.g. AIdagogy in AF (Assessment & Feedback), acts as academic-led outreach strategy between two universities from UK and Malaysia, for inclusive schools’ trials across the two nations: the UK technology origins from EUREKA Robotics Centre with Robot EUREKA, JD Robots and Robot Xiaolongbao for in-class personalised coding learning with assessment and feedback, coupled with the Malaysia home-built STEM robots by the STEM Lab from University Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah. Action research methods with rapid prototype development were adapted for the work for selected underprivileged communities including Muslim & Christian, and Malaysian & British pupils, in particularly girls. Pilot experiments were conducted in Wales, England and Malaysia for user acceptance with effective results from both students and teachers, as part of a larger scale rolled out between 2022-2029 for the Global PIE for Women programme, this work is a pilot for community learning to other partnering universities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan and Wales: our work-in-progress and future work are reflected reviewed and enhanced with recommendations for other to reference from.
