To prepare young people for the AI workplace, focus on the fundamentals

To prepare young people for the AI workplace, focus on the fundamentals | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

This spring, tech executives began sounding the alarm that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rendering entry-level office jobs obsolete—positions long relied on as training grounds for advanced skills and networks. Headlines have since warned that AI will break the bottom rung of the career ladder, and white collar jobs such as software developers may be among the first to be disrupted by AI, especially for younger workers. Other analysts predict that, over time, low-wage service workers may ultimately be the most severely impacted.

Hace años que las firmas de Brookings, Deloitte, McKinsey, Gartner, Gallup, Forrester, OECD, Foro Económico Mundial, UNESCO, PwC, Mercer, Pew International, Udemy, Korn Ferry, Goldman Sachs, Salesforces Miscrosoft & Linkedin... están activando las alarmas para que las Instituciones de Educación Superior comiencen la transformación de sus programas académicos.

¿Están nuestras universidades reaccionando a las alarmas? 

Según Brookings, los ejecutivos del sector tecnológico comenzaron a sonar la alarma de que la IA está obsoletizando los trabajos de oficina de nivel de entrada. Se trata de puestos en los que durante mucho tiempo se confió como campos de entrenamiento para el desarrollo de habilidades y relaciones avanzadas de los empleados novatos. Desde entonces, el liderato empresarial ha advertido que la IA romperá el peldaño más bajo de la escala profesional. Los trabajos de cuello blanco juniors podrían estar entre los primeros en ser afectados por la IA. Otros analistas predicen que, con el tiempo, los trabajadores de servicios con bajos salarios podrían ser los más afectados.

EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight, September 9, 6:25 PM

"Homework is changing, especially with the rise of generative AI. Educators and parents need to work together to rethink what homework means. The challenge is to shape homework so that it builds essential skills while using new tools. If done well, AI could turn homework from a boring task into a real learning experience."

Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI

Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

Generative AI is reshaping higher education, but how do we teach with it responsibly? In Chapter 10, “Teaching Generative AI in Higher Education: Strategies, Implications, and Reflective Practices,” Andrew Kelly, Miriam Sullivan, and Katrina Strampel explore how educators can intentionally integrate GenAI into teaching practice. They examine issues of quality assurance, ethical use, equity, and curriculum design, offering case studies that show what this looks like in real classrooms.

Chapter 10 explores how higher education can intentionally integrate Generative AI into teaching, balancing ethics, equity, and pedagogy to prepare students for an AI-driven future. 

Zaryht Dallana Martínez Marulanda's curator insight, September 10, 12:31 AM
La integración responsable de la IA generativa en la educación superior ayuda a mejorar la enseñanza al ofrecer a los docentes herramientas para diseñar experiencias de aprendizaje más personalizadas, creativas y eficientes, siempre que se aborden de forma ética, equitativa y con garantía de calidad. Al explorar su aplicación en el currículo y en prácticas reales, como lo plantean Kelly, Sullivan y Strampel, se fomenta que los estudiantes desarrollen pensamiento crítico, comprensión de los límites y potencial de estas tecnologías, y habilidades para utilizarlas de manera reflexiva, lo que en conjunto enriquece la formación académica y prepara mejor a los futuros profesionales para los retos del mundo digital.

"Students form impressions about your course page in less than a second (Lindgaard et al., 2006). If it’s cluttered, confusing, or bland, you might lose them before they even start the first lecture."

Zaryht Dallana Martínez Marulanda's curator insight, September 10, 12:25 AM
me parece que contribuye a mejorar la educación en línea porque facilita la organización clara de la información, ofrece una experiencia de usuario intuitiva y accesible, integra recursos multimedia que atienden diferentes estilos de aprendizaje, promueve la interactividad y la participación, y permite personalizar el ritmo de estudio. Además, al incluir herramientas de seguimiento y evaluación, los estudiantes pueden monitorear su progreso y los docentes ajustar sus estrategias, lo que genera un entorno virtual más inclusivo, motivador y efectivo para enseñar y aprender.
