Traditional and Artificial Learning Theories and Teaching Methods

The present article studies the main traditional learning theories and teaching methods and compares them to the recently developed with the help of computers and Artificial Intelligence (AI) teaching and learning methods. Innovative teaching techniques are examined like the 5E's procedure, the APOS/ACE insdtructional treatment of mathematics, flipped learning, etc. Also machine learning methods are studied like the smart learning systems using ontological engineering and case-based reasoning as authoring shells, the use of social robots in future education, etc. The new role of the teacher in a modern classroom and other perspectives of future research on artificial teaching and learning approaches are also discussed.
