Using Artificial Intelligence in Education : Adventures in the Internet of Things

Integrating AI and IoT in middle school social science, the study presents the innovative IoTSSAI Model that embeds emerging tech through nine structured CBSE-based lesson plans. Tested in four Indian schools, the approach boosts student engagement and improves learning outcomes.

Using Artificial Intelligence in Education examines the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the teaching of social science at the middle school level. Grounded in a clearly identified research gap, the author develops an innovative instructional framework known as the “IoTSSAI Model,” designed systematically to embed emerging technologies in the school curriculum. Drawing on the Standard VIII Social Science textbook prescribed by the CBSE Board, the study presents nine carefully structured lesson plans that demonstrate the model’s practical application. These lesson plans were implemented across four schools in India to assess the instructional effectiveness and pedagogical impact of the proposed approach. The findings indicate that the IoTSSAI Model significantly enhances student engagement and learning outcomes, thereby highlighting technology-driven pedagogy’s potential to strengthen social science education and inform future curriculum development.
