According to observations by the Applied Academy for Education "Sindeo", teachers most often use artificial intelligence (AI) to prepare interactive lessons, generate diverse and specific examples, and optimize administrative processes, including grading, data collection, and note-taking. The academy's data shows that over 8,500 teachers participated in their AI training courses in the past year, conducted both online and in-person in schools across the country, announced the "Sindeo" Academy for Education.
The widespread use of artificial intelligence in various fields - from automated text creation systems to analytical tools - has also placed schools before the need to consider how the technology can be integrated into the learning process. In response, "Sindeo" has developed training specifically focused on the application of AI in education, demonstrating practical approaches and ready-made tools that can be used directly in classrooms. The emphasis is on how AI can support the work of teachers without replacing their professional judgment.
The trend is confirmed internationally. A recent article in Education Daily, examining the experience of Australian schools, shows that about 65% of teachers and 60% of school administrations already use AI in their work, and more than half of the students benefit from the technologies to complete assignments. The Australian AI framework introduces a "human-in-the-loop" model, in which AI performs routine and analytical tasks, while the teacher retains control over assessment, ethical data use, and pedagogical decisions. This approach proves to be key to effective and sustainable integration of technology into the learning process.
According to "Sindeo", observations from the Bulgarian context show a change in teachers' attitudes towards AI. "More and more colleagues no longer perceive AI as a threat or unnecessary complication. They show initiative and actively engage in their professional development, participating in training and exploring different ways to integrate the technology into their classes. Teachers understand that this is not just a matter of technical skills, but a tool for better time management and more effective presentation of the learning material. We see that this change in attitude allows teachers to approach AI with more confidence and to derive real benefits for the learning process," the academy notes.
The "Sindeo" training courses are structured to provide both practical mastery of the tools and a critical understanding of their role in education. Participants acquire skills in personalizing educational content, analyzing results, and adapting materials to different levels of acquisition. The academy notes that this approach leads to a more engaging and purposeful learning environment, stimulates the thinking and research interest of students, and gradually changes the way teachers think about their own practice and the role of AI in preparing students for the future.
