[PDF] The challenges of AI in Higher Education and Institutional Responses: Is there room for competency frameworks? 

[PDF] The challenges of AI in Higher Education and Institutional Responses: Is there room for competency frameworks?  | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

El documento de trabajo "Los retos de la IA en la educación superior y las respuestas institucionales: ¿Hay lugar para marcos de competencias?", publicado por UNESCO IESALC, ofrece una revisión sistemática del estado actual de la integración de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la educación superior. Aunque la IA presenta oportunidades significativas para la transformación pedagógica y administrativa, las instituciones de educación superior (IES) tienen lagunas críticas para prepararse y responder eficazmente a esta realidad. Las autoras, Arianna Valentini y Alep Blancas, defienden la necesidad urgente de desarrollar un marco integral de competencias de IA adaptado específicamente al contexto de la enseñanza superior.

 

La metodología del informe incluyó una revisión bibliográfica de enero de 2021 a agosto de 2024, complementada con un ejercicio de evaluación de las iniciativas relacionadas con la IA en 16 instituciones de educación superior en cinco regiones de la UNESCO. Este doble enfoque permitió a las investigadoras identificar una brecha crítica entre el rápido ritmo de adopción de la IA y la falta de respuestas institucionales estructuradas.

Newer Theories for Digital Learning Spaces - by Stephen Downes

Newer Theories for Digital Learning Spaces - by Stephen Downes | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

ABSTRACT

 

The emergence of newer theories for digital learning spaces occurs because of a general dissatisfaction with the theorizing of earlier generations of open and distance education (ODE). After an outline of the traditional conception of the requirements for a “learning theory,” this article traces the sources for this dissatisfaction in traditional theories such as behaviourism and cognitivism, then traces some theoretical attempts to address them. It identifies a range of emerging theories, including connectivist pedagogy, personal learning environments, and open educational practices, characterizing these in terms of their response to the original dissatisfaction. It then returns to the characterization of a “learning theory,” suggesting that in the light of this new work a reconceptualization of theory may be required.
