8 Teachers from Sookmyung Women's University Solve Classroom Problems with AI

[Financial News] Eight current middle and high school teachers who graduated from Sookmyung Women's University Graduate School of Education have personally created AI-based educational tools to solve problems in the school field and published a practical book containing their experience and know-how.
Sookmyung Women's University announced on the 14th that it has published a practical edutech book titled 'NEXT Edutech: Teacher Vibe Coding for Immediate Class Use,' co-authored by eight people, including teacher Choi Bo-yoon (Dongduk Girls' High School), a graduate of the 2nd class of the AI ​​Convergence Education major at the Graduate School of Education. This book is the result of teachers applying the outcomes of assignments they performed while still in school to actual classes and developing them into a practical guide for teachers.
This book guides even teachers with limited coding experience to create and distribute web programs necessary for their classes using the generative AI 'Gemini.' It is designed to be followed using only a Google account, without the need for separate payments or program installations. The book includes eight customized web app examples developed by teachers of various subjects—such as Korean, English, Science, Technology, and Design—based on problems encountered in actual educational settings, along with QR codes for hands-on experience.
The authors plan to go beyond the publication of the book and spread the educational achievements to schools on the front lines. In late November, they will open a 15-session professional development course for incumbent teachers at the Chunjae Education T-Sherpa Remote Education Training Center, and will also conduct a special lecture by the authors at Sookmyung Women's University in November.
This publication is regarded as a prime example of how a graduate school's practice-oriented curriculum has led to educational innovation in schools. An official from Sookmyung Women's University's Graduate School of Education stated, "This publication is highly significant in that current teachers directly solve problems encountered in the field using AI technology and share their achievements with other teachers," adding, "We will continue to foster educational experts who possess both a theoretical understanding of AI and the capacity to solve real-world problems, enabling them to creatively apply these skills to their respective subjects and educational environments."
