This issue focuses on Action Research — a research approach that aims to improve educational practice through the systematic study and reflection on pedagogical activity. Particular attention is given to the role of the teacher as a researcher capable of identifying current educational challenges and finding effective ways to address them within a real educational environment.

Articles devoted to the methodology and practice of Action Research, issues of professional reflection, the implementation of educational innovations, as well as the analysis of the results of pedagogical changes and their impact on the quality of education are welcomed.

The possibilities of using intelligent systems to personalise learning are considered. Particular attention is paid to developing students’ digital literacy and critical thinking skills when working with AI tools.

The integration of AI into education is seen as a strategic step aimed at improving the quality of learning, expanding access to knowledge, and preparing students for life. The need for ethical regulation and ensuring equal access to the effective use of AI in educational practice is emphasised. According to futurologist Yuval Noah Harari, machines will be better than humans at logic but weaker in empathy, ethics, creativity, and meaning. This is where the competition of the future will emerge.
