A journalism educator’s recent firsthand account published in Business Insider is drawing new interest to the practical benefits and cautious optimism surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms, offering a thoughtful look at how digital tools like ChatGPT can empower teachers while highlighting irreplaceable human aspects of education. The story, based on the experiences of a media ethics and English teacher in the United States, is sparking conversations among Thailand’s educators and policymakers on how best to harness AI’s potential for Thai schools and learners (Business Insider).

A recent analysis challenges the growing emphasis on “brain-based learning” in education, arguing that observable student behavior remains the definitive sign of learning – not neural imaging or neuroscience theories. As Thai schools increasingly adopt neuroscience language and training, the research offers a timely reminder that practical, classroom-based observation is the foundation of good teaching and sound assessment. This perspective, recently articulated in Psychology Today by an experienced cognitive science educator, reinforces a classic principle: it is performance, not pathology, that shows whether students are truly learning (Psychology Today).
