Summary:

This article examines the theoretical basis and potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in station-based learning for primary education in Vietnam. Using a literature review approach, relevant studies on AI in education and station-based learning were collected, analyzed, and synthesized to identify trends, benefits, and challenges. The analysis highlights AI’s capacity to support teachers in designing lesson plans, personalizing learning tasks, creating interactive learning stations, and monitoring students’ progress within station-based learning. These functions are considered in relation to the requirements of Vietnam’s 2018 General Education Program. The paper also identifies barriers to effective implementation, including limited infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and concerns regarding ethics and data privacy. Recommendations are proposed to enhance feasibility and sustainability, including developing localized AI tools tailored to the Vietnamese curriculum and station-based learning, investing in technological infrastructure, strengthening teachers’ digital and pedagogical competencies, and establishing legal frameworks for ethical AI use. By clarifying opportunities and constraints, the study contributes to the theoretical foundation for integrating AI into station-based learning. It emphasizes the need for context-appropriate applications that promote autonomy, creativity, and inclusivity in primary classrooms while ensuring alignment with national educational reform.
