‘AI+HI’ Teacher Questions Transform Classes... Busan Office of Education Conducts Competency Training for 400 Teachers

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has launched an initiative to strengthen teachers' competencies for innovative, future-oriented classes.

In the era of generative artificial intelligence (AI), the primary focus is on enhancing teachers' ability to design effective questions and improving their AI-based educational capabilities.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Seokjun) announced on September 11 that it is conducting a professional development program for approximately 400 teachers from elementary, middle, high, and special schools under the theme “Questions That Open Minds with AI and HI, Education That Opens the World.”

This program began on September 8 and will continue sequentially until September 27 at venues including the Busan Education Research and Information Institute and the Busan Design Promotion Agency. The training consists of a total of six hours, with 30 experts in the field of prompt engineering serving as instructors and leading hands-on, practice-oriented lectures.

The curriculum includes practical methods for integrating generative AI tools into lessons, techniques for crafting questions using AI, and strategies for designing learner-tailored feedback, all closely aligned with real classroom needs. The aim is to unlock students’ thinking through teachers’ questions and to pursue educational expansion by harmonizing AI and human intelligence (HI).

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has named this initiative “AIHI Education Innovation” and plans to continuously support the strengthening of lesson design and assessment capabilities suitable for the digital transition era.

Superintendent Kim Seokjun stated, “Education in the AI era begins with teachers’ questions,” and added, “We will actively support teachers so that, on this path where AI and HI come together, they can become true partners in students’ growth.”

The Office expects that, through this training, teachers will be able to utilize AI to motivate learners and lay the groundwork for designing questions that foster critical and creative thinking.
