How Technology Is Transforming Education
New technologies—from AI chatbots such as ChatGPT to rapidly developing virtual-reality tools—are
reshaping classrooms and raising hopes for more equal access to high-quality learning. According to Stanford
GSE Dean Dan Schwartz, technology can offer new ways of teaching, but it also carries risks if schools
simply become “more efficient at teaching badly.” With the end of ESSER funding in 2024, many K–12
schools must now decide how to use technology wisely while facing shrinking budgets.
One major trend is AI in the classroom. After generative AI tools appeared in 2023, teachers initially
worried about cheating, but schools are now exploring how AI can support learning—for example, by generating
reading materials or guiding students during writing. AI may also automate grading and lesson planning, giving
teachers more time for human interaction. Victor Lee, a Stanford professor, stresses that students must learn to
question and critique AI because it “is not going away.” Free resources like CRAFT are helping schools introduce
AI literacy across subjects.
Immersive environments, including augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, are also expanding. Students
can now create local 360-degree experiences with just a phone, allowing them to study climate change impacts or
document their surroundings. Stanford researchers expect this area to grow quickly, especially as AI becomes
integrated into VR simulations—for example, allowing learners to ask questions about objects inside a virtual
world.
Gamification, another rising trend, uses interactive videos and reward systems to motivate learners. While
rewards can drive engagement, Schwartz warns that motivation may not transfer beyond the game. He hopes to
Trang 5
see designs that reward flexible thinking rather than just fast correct answers. Meanwhile, the rapid growth of
educational technology is producing enormous amounts of student data. These data could personalize learning,
but much of it remains in the hands of tech companies, raising questions about privacy, security, and how
educators can access useful insights. Schwartz argues that this moment requires rethinking assumptions about
teaching and using technology to open new possibilities for student creativity and individualized support.

A Beginner’s Mindset: How It Helps Us Learn Better
Tom Vanderbilt began exploring lifelong learning after observing his daughter during her piano, soccer
and Tae Kwon Do lessons. While she focused on her new skills, he often checked emails or waited passively.
Realising the contradiction, he asked himself why adults stop learning new things. To challenge this, he spent a
year studying skills such as chess, drawing, singing, juggling and surfing, with no goal of mastering them—only
enjoying the process.
Vanderbilt knew adults do not pick up patterns as quickly as children, yet his research showed that our
brains still have strong neuroplasticity. He discovered key principles that improve learning at any age. One is
deliberate practice—instead of repeating actions mindlessly, learners should analyse mistakes like chess
players reviewing lost games. Another principle is practicing with variation, or “repetition without repetition,”
which forces the brain to adapt, as when he changed objects and positions while juggling. Surprisingly, people
also learn better when they expect to teach the skill later, because this increases curiosity and
attention.
Watching experts helps, but observing other beginners can be equally useful, since their struggles reveal
clearer examples of what to do or avoid. For Vanderbilt, singing was the most emotional challenge, but
overcoming fear brought great satisfaction. He even joined a Britpop choir. He also found that improvement often
comes faster than expected—his drawing skills grew noticeably within the time it takes to finish a TV series.
[I] Studies show that older adults who learn several new skills at once can improve cognitive performance
to the level of people 30 years younger. [II] Trying different activities may also boost creativity, much like Nobel
laureates who often have artistic hobbies. Vanderbilt believes that embracing frustration, failure and
uncertainty helps us develop intellectual humility—a valuable trait in a rapidly changing world. [III] By
adopting a beginner’s mindset, we stay open, flexible and ready to learn. [IV]

any challenging new skill.
C. Deliberate practice is the most effective method, demonstrated by the chess player's ability to repeat actions
without repeating the same mistakes.
D. Several crucial learning principles were identified, including focusing on error analysis, varying practice
methods, and anticipating future teaching responsibilities.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Tom Vanderbilt's year-long experiment demonstrated that adults can only master new skills like singing or
surfing if they dedicate time to analyzing their failures.
B. The most important strategy for adult learners is to always observe other beginners and share their progress
