Toward Responsible AI Implementation in K–12 Music Education: A Human-Centered Conceptual Framework Informed by Emerging U.S. Educational Priorities
Jose Gregorio Reinoso Yepez
The paper proposes a Human-Centered Conceptual Framework for responsible AI implementation in K-12 music education, drawing on emerging U.S. educational priorities such as AI literacy, data privacy, and equitable access. It argues that AI tools can support adaptive practice and composition, but their value depends on preserving pedagogical integrity and teacher agency. The framework positions AI as a support system within an ecosystem shaped by pedagogy, educator leadership, ethical governance, and professional capacity building.
Original abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping K–12 education, influencing curriculum design, instructional practice, and educational governance. Emerging U.S. priorities emphasize not only technological innovation but also responsible implementation, AI literacy, data privacy, and equitable access. These priorities are especially relevant to K–12 music education, where learning depends on cognitive, artistic, emotional, and social dimensions requiring sustained teacher guidance. Although AI-supported tools offer promising applications for adaptive practice, automated feedback, and AI-assisted composition, their value depends on implementation conditions that preserve pedagogical integrity and teacher agency. This conceptual article develops a Human-Centered Conceptual Framework for Responsible AI Implementation in K–12 Music Education, drawing on U.S. priorities, international governance frameworks, and contemporary scholarship. The framework positions AI as a support system within an educational ecosystem shaped by pedagogy, educator leadership, AI literacy, ethical governance, professional capacity building, and continuous improvement, offering a conceptual foundation for future research, policy, and practice in music education and other K–12 settings.
