Book in Progress AI: The Revolution of Personalized Learning through Artificial Intelligence
From Mastery Learning to Digital Personalization Mastery learning, theorized by Benjamin Bloom in the 1960s, posits that every student can reach high levels of learning if given adequate conditions in terms of time, methods, and support. However, the practical implementation of this pedagogical model has always faced significant obstacles in traditional school settings, mainly due to the difficulty of managing large classes with students of diverse cognitive characteristics. Book in Progress AI emerges as an evolution of a well-established educational project, promising to transform the pedagogical utopia of mastery learning into a scalable reality through artificial intelligence. The project is accessible via the official website https://www.bookinprogress.org/, which coordinates the entire national network of participating schools. The project originated from the initiative of the headmaster of the “E. Majorana” institute in Brindisi (Italy), Prof. Salvatore Giuliano. The work is coordinated by Prof. Cosimo Luigi Manes, with support from Professors Rossella Palmizio and Sabrina Tiralongo. ...
