72. The Transformation of Pedagogical Practice in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence: From Conscious Design to Critical Application

Laszlo Horvath (Eötvös Loránd University)

9/4/25, 2:00 PM

AI in Multimedia-Based Physics Assessment and Feedback

Keynote presentation

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping the educational ecosystem, and its impact is most directly felt at the level of pedagogical practice. This is especially true for the areas of pedagogical planning, the implementation of teaching processes, and assessment, where AI offers new tools and methodological possibilities.
This transformation is dual in nature: on one...

73. Never sick, available around the clock, with access to all the knowledge in the world – is an AI chatbot the better physics teacher?
 The potential and risks of AI applications for schools and education.

Cilia Rücker (University of Cologne)

74. Augmenting Physics Instruction and Assessment through Multimodal AI: Insights from Project Ethel

Gerd Kortemeyer

9/6/25, 9:00 AM

AI in Multimedia-Based Physics Assessment and Feedback

Keynote presentation

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is transforming physics education by enabling automated solutions and personalized feedback. Project Ethel at ETH Zurich explores the integration of genAI into physics instruction and assessment, leveraging both reasoning and non-reasoning multimodal AI models. Our research shows that genAI consistently outperforms the average undergraduate student on...
