Overview
In a world where information multiplies faster than understanding, Smart Curriculum: Redefining Learning for an Intelligent Future invites educators, researchers, and innovators to reimagine the very architecture of education. This book explores how artificial intelligence, adaptive systems, and real-world problem-solving can transform learning from a process of memorization into one of meaning-making and creative discovery. Blending the latest research on AI-driven pedagogy, problem-based learning, and systems thinking, the volume offers a comprehensive blueprint for developing learners who can think critically, collaborate globally, and navigate uncertainty with confidence. From cognitive scaffolding and fuzzy logic to teacher professional development and ethical design, each chapter illuminates a new dimension of the smart learning ecosystem. Rather than treating technology as a replacement for human intellect, Smart Curriculum envisions AI as a collaborator in cultivating analytical minds, empathetic citizens, and adaptive problem-solvers. It challenges educators to embrace complexity—not as chaos, but as the natural habitat of innovation. This is not merely a book about the future of education—it is a manifesto for a wiser one.
