Abstract

In recent years, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational platforms has offered promising avenues for enhancing teaching practices and student engagement in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Minecraft Education Edition, a popular sandbox video game used in educational settings, has introduced an AI copilot feature designed to support educators in creating interactive and immersive learning experiences. This research aims to explore the use of AI copilot in Minecraft Education Edition within the context of teacher training programs. The study focuses on investigating how AI copilot functionalities can enhance pedagogical practices among educators. Specifically, it examines the impact of AI copilot tools on curriculum development, classroom management strategies, and student engagement in STEM learning activities within the Minecraft environment. The research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews and observations to gather insights from educators who have utilized AI copilot features in their teaching practices. Furthermore, the study explores the perceived benefits and challenges associated with integrating AI copilot in teacher training programs. It seeks to identify effective strategies for leveraging AI copilot functionalities to facilitate effective STEM education delivery and foster collaborative learning environments. Findings from this research are expected to contribute to the growing body of literature on AI in education, providing practical implications for educational stakeholders, curriculum developers, and policymakers interested in harnessing AI technologies to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. Ultimately, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing the use of AI copilot in Minecraft Education Edition as a valuable tool for teacher training and professional development in the field of STEM education.
