Ergonomics of School Textbooks: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education for Sustainable Development

Abstract

The article delves into the issues of implementing notions of sustainable development textbooks in schools as well as how the problems could be resolved. On the one hand, it is necessary to bridge the gap between the content of education and modern science. On the other hand, it is necessary to get rid of excessive academic textbooks, bring them closer to real life. Thirdly, it is necessary to integrate the ideas of sustainable development into the content of textbooks in order to teach children to live, to form resilience skills, and social values. Textbooks on natural sciences for secondary schools in Australia, the USA and Germany were analyzed. The results of comparing the texts of traditional textbooks and texts on sustainable development using the Gunning Fog Index and the Flesh Reading Ease scale are shown. The research done by the authors showed that artificial intelligence, together with blockchain, can play a key role in adapting textbooks on sustainable development in accordance with the needs of the subject and the age of students. Collect data on sustainable development from various sources, establish links between them, identify areas where this information will be needed, link it to real-time, take into account the changing knowledge base in subject areas and ensure that it corresponds to the content of the course. A summation of such an assessment of research has led to the revelation that artificial intelligence, virtual, augmented and mixed realities as part of the educational content may contribute to improvements within the learning process, making it exceptionally engaging to the participants.
