New paper proposes "smupid" education framework beyond smart/stupid binary

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new editorial paper published in Smart Learning Environments introduces the concept of "smupid" education, moving beyond a simple binary of "smart" versus "stupid." The paper proposes that "smartness" in education relates to adaptability, while "stupidity" refers to actively harmful systems. It categorizes educational systems into four sectors: benign (unadaptive but beneficial), inept (unadaptive and harmful), pernicious (adaptive but harmful), and wise (adaptive and beneficial), using examples like textbooks, high-stakes exams, LLMs for grading, and AI tutors. AI
