[OPINION] We need more Problem Solvers and Critical Thinkers

[OPINION] We need more Problem Solvers and Critical Thinkers | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

The rigid structure of the traditional K-12 education system leaves little room for students to engage in real-world problem-solving scenarios. In many cases it stifles creativity and curiosity, discouraging students from questioning established norms or exploring alternative perspectives.

While curriculums vary across different regions and educational systems, in most cases a heavy emphasis on grades and standardized test scores prioritizes rote memorization over developing students’ capacity to analyze, synthesize and evaluate information critically and independently.

Cuidado, se enseña: Más allá de la lección magistral

Cuidado, se enseña: Más allá de la lección magistral | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Si le preguntamos a cualquier transeúnte qué significa “enseñar”, la respuesta más probable hará referencia al esquema clásico de la instrucción directa, también conocida como lección magistral: un docente de pie, delante de una pizarra (digital o tradicional), explica una lección a un grupo de estudiantes que atienden, más o menos en silencio, a sus palabras, probablemente tomando notas que después serán memorizadas y utilizadas para estudiar de cara a un futuro examen. O bien, ese mismo docente plantea algún tipo de actividad práctica (ejercicios matemáticos, preguntas cortas, etc.) a los estudiantes para corregirla posteriormente.

Edumorfosis's insight:

Si les exigimos a los estudiantes que lleguen a clase con los materiales (texto, copias, libretas de apuntes, bológrafos, lápices, marcadores, etc), también los docentes tenemos la responsabilidad de llegar con nuestro repertorio de estrategias instruccionales para hacer la clase más activa y participativa. El aula debe convertirse en un Laboratorio Ciudadano en el que se investiga, explora, experimenta, debate, colabora, crea, imagina, soluciona problemas, trabaja con otros y socializa...

Metodologías Activas e Inteligencia Artificial en Educación

Metodologías Activas e Inteligencia Artificial en Educación | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

¿Es «metodologías activas e inteligencia artificial en educación» un oximoron? ¿Te suena a contradicción? ¿En qué medida pueden las metodologías activas enriquecerse con el apoyo de la inteligencia artificial y hasta qué punto puede la inteligencia artificial contribuir a conceptos como agencia o autonomía del aprendiz, claves para el desarrollo de competencias? 

Edumorfosis's insight:

Tal y como lo hemos presentado: la IA funciona mejor cuando los estudiantes se apropian de ella para aprender, no cuando los docentes pretenden mejorar su enseñanza. El autor nos presenta tres paradigmas educativos de la IA y sugiere su integración para que los estudiantes generen 'artefactos digitales'. Lo mismo que proponemos explicado de otra manera: los estudiantes utilizan mejor la IA cuando crean conexiones sinápticas al visibilizar sus constructos mentales en diversidad de formatos de representación del conocimiento.

3 things workers can do to prepare for AI and the future of work | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Empathy, connection, creativity, and collaboration—these attributes make humans unique, and unlike any robotic software or device. So, the challenge ahead is finding ways to leverage these tools and technologies in partnership with the human touch in order to drive business forward, while understanding the responsibility for AI lies in the hands of the organizations and individual employees.

There are intentional actions we all can take—as humans, employees, and leaders—to ensure we succeed in utilizing AI to our advantage, without positioning ourselves as replaceable or obsolete.

PISA 2022: The state of Learning and Equity in Education | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

PISA 2022 assesses reading, science, and, as its main subject, mathematics. Being proficient in mathematics today is more than the mere reproduction of routine mathematical procedures. Rather, PISA considers a mathematically proficient person to be someone who can mathematically reason their way through complex real-life problems and find solutions by formulating, employing and interpreting mathematics.

Teaching: Practical AI strategies for the classroom

Teaching: Practical AI strategies for the classroom | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Generative AI’s rapid disruption of the classroom is undeniable, perhaps second only to the pivot to remote learning during the pandemic. Yet many instructors remain uncertain on how or whether to use it. Recently I attended Accelerate 2023, a conference sponsored by the Online Learning Consortium, to find the most practical applications of generative AI for teaching. Here are several strategies you can try.

From Likes to Learning: Enhancing classroom culture through Social Media Engagement   

From Likes to Learning: Enhancing classroom culture through Social Media Engagement    | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Social media’s evolution from a groundbreaking phenomenon to an everyday staple has generated widespread discourse on its role and influence in modern life. Notwithstanding the calls for its abolition by some critics, its ubiquity suggests that it is here to stay, necessitating a thoughtful approach to its application. Particularly interesting is the notable increase in social media interaction among everyone, including undergraduate students, during the COVID-19 pandemic, as documented in a March 2021 Vox article. This surge, driven by the need to bridge the gap of physical isolation, highlighted the urgency to scrutinize how these students engage with digital platforms. Being not only consumers but also active content creators, examining their social media usage reveals much about their cultural identity expression.

[PDF] Large Languaje Models can learn RULES 

[PDF] Large Languaje Models can learn RULES  | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

When prompted with a few examples and intermediate steps, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance in various reasoning tasks. However, prompting methods that rely on implicit knowledge in an LLM often hallucinate incorrect answers when the implicit knowledge is wrong or inconsistent with the task. To tackle this problem, we present Hypotheses-to-Theories (HtT), a framework that learns a rule library for reasoning with LLMs. HtT contains two stages, an induction stage and a deduction stage. In the induction stage, an LLM is first asked to generate and verify rules over a set of training examples.


Rules that appear and lead to correct answers sufficiently often are collected to form a rule library. In the deduction stage, the LLM is then prompted to employ the learned rule library to perform reasoning to answer test questions. Experiments on both numerical reasoning and relational reasoning problems show that HtT improves existing prompting methods, with an absolute gain of 11-27% in accuracy. The learned rules are also transferable to different models and to different forms of the same problem.

ChatGPT complicates Education versus Assessment

ChatGPT complicates Education versus Assessment | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Today is ChatGPT’s first birthday, and already this novel application has had a profound impact.

One domain where this is particularly pronounced—and perhaps most discussed—is higher education. As a humanities professor who teaches the skills of critical thinking and analytic writing, I have witnessed firsthand the effects of ChatGPT on student writing and learning. I’ve seen everything from students relying on it for idea generation and content summaries to feeding it essay prompts and blatantly copying its outputs. I’m currently managing a tenfold increase in suspected academic integrity violations this semester—all due to ChatGPT.

[PDF] Artificial Intelligence in Education: The three paradigms

[PDF] Artificial Intelligence in Education: The three paradigms | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

With the development of computing and information processing techniques, artificial intelligence (AI) has been extensively applied in education. Artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) opens new opportunities, potentials, and challenges in educational practices. In its short history, AIEd has been undergoing several paradigmatic shifts, which are characterized into three paradigms in this position paper:

  1. AI-directed, learner-as-recipient
  2. AI-supported, learner-as-collaborator
  3. AI-empowered, learner-as-leader


In three paradigms, AI techniques are used to address educational and learning issues in varied ways. AI is used to represent knowledge models and direct cognitive learning while learners are recipients of AI service in Paradigm One; AI is used to support learning while learners work as collaborators with AI in Paradigm Two; AI is used to empower learning while learners take agency to learn in Paradigm Three. Overall, the development trend of AIEd has been developing to empower learner agency and personalization, enable learners to reflect on learning and inform AI systems to adapt accordingly, and lead to an iterative development of the learner-centered, data-driven, personalized learning.

Edumorfosis's insight:

Este artículo evidencia nuestro planteamiento de que la EdTech e IA Generativa, funcinan mejor cuando los estudiantes se apropian de ellas para crear conexiones sinápticas (neuronales, sociales y con nodos de conocimiento no-humanos) al visibilizar sus constructos mentales en diversidad de herramientas generativas.

La transformación de la Educación hacia un escenario propio del S21: Entornos de aprendizaje que utilizamos para implementar este enfoque 

La transformación de la Educación hacia un escenario propio del S21: Entornos de aprendizaje que utilizamos para implementar este enfoque  | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

En el contexto de la educación disruptiva, se reconoce la necesidad de crear espacios y escenarios de aprendizaje más diversos y adaptados a las necesidades y deseos de los estudiantes. Esto implica la incorporación de perspectivas diferentes y la valoración del aprendizaje de manera abierta, inclusiva y ubicua. Además, se destaca la importancia de la evaluación como una base fundamental para el aprendizaje.

Si pretendemos crear escenarios de aprendizaje no predecibles, es decir, abiertos, y si son masivos, las proporciones de complejidad irán aumentando ya que el “control” deja de estar en manos de la “organización” para pasar a formar parte de la ecología de los aprendices…

Sabiendo que las «aulas virtuales» son un medio en que los educadores y educandos se encuentran para realizar actividades que conducen al aprendizaje, y que el concepto de conocimiento es la capacidad para transformar datos e informaciones en acciones efectivas y eficaces, en la siguiente ponencia trataremos el tema las «Aulas Virtuales como Modelo de Gestión de Conocimiento», y trataremos algunos conceptos sobre estas: factores influyentes, clasificación, usos y otros elementos que tienen alguna relación con tan innovador tema.

Embracing Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom 

Embracing Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom  | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not new. The rise of ChatGPT, Google Bard, New Bing, and others in the academic space, however, is skyrocketing. My initial encounters with this rising AI were biased. As I scanned topics like academic integrity, academic dishonesty, and plagiarism, I quickly adopted others’ persuasive opinions based on limited information.  

A few months ago, however, I attended a presentation that gave me a more complete view. Students were already using it as a tool, so I opened my mind to understanding what purpose AI served in the higher education classroom. Most tools are not innately good or bad; what we do with tools creates the perception and interpretation. I became curious. What were the pros, what were the cons, and how could I embrace the already organic shift disrupting higher education?  

I created this article not to discuss potential legal and ethical issues surrounding AI, but rather to share my observations from a broad perspective.  

Edumorfosis's insight:

Si seguimos pensando en integrar las tecnologías emergentes para mejorar nuestra enseñanza docente, estamos MUY MAL. La IAGen no se creó para la educación convencional en la sala de clases. Esta herramienta funciona mejor cuando los estudiantes trascienden el encapsulamiento del aula en su proceso de aprendizaje. La IAGen no debería convertirse en una materia escolar ni universitaria. Debe ser una práctica tecno-social que promueva el uso ético y apropiado de una tecnología que cambiará por completo nuestras maneras de aprender, trabajar y relacionarnos con los demás...

[2024 EDUCAUSE] Top 10: Institutional Resilience

[2024 EDUCAUSE] Top 10: Institutional Resilience | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

The COVID-19 pandemic has left us with a changed world. As we look ahead, the future appears even more challenging than the one we once foresaw.

Unfortunately, the pandemic isn't the only problem we need to worry about. Higher education may have returned from the unpredictable and always evolving pandemic land of Oz, but the hard truths back in Kansas, our current reality, have progressed. We're afloat in an ever-shifting sea of challenges: the public's lack of confidence in higher education, the ongoing student debt crisis, climate change and weather disasters, cybersecurity breaches, deep fakes, culture polarization, mental health crises, the campus demographic cliff, AI overlords, hate crimes, global instability, or, yes, the next pandemic. We can no longer assume that business as usual is punctuated by the occasional unforeseen bad event. Anomaly is the new normal.

We must adapt and evolve to thrive in a world of ongoing change and unpredictability. Today's leadership agenda must expand beyond growth and innovation to address risk and to prepare for what may be ahead. In 2024, institutional and technology leaders will focus their efforts on developing institutional resilience. Institutional resilience is the ability to anticipate, respond to, and adapt to rapidly changing circumstances in ways that maximize opportunities and minimize consequences of unforeseen events. The 2024 EDUCAUSE Top 10 describes the contributions that technology, data, and the workforce will make to advance three dimensions of institutional resilience: mission resilience, operational resilience, and financial resilience.

PISA 2022: Learning during -and from- Disruption

PISA 2022: Learning during -and from- Disruption | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

The COVID-19 pandemic was a stress test for education systems. It revealed whether schools and students around the globe were able to adapt to sudden and profound changes in how instruction is provided and how students learn. Now that the crisis phase has passed, policy makers and schools need to know where students stand in their learning and well-being to be able to provide remedial measures for those students who fell behind in their learning or suffered emotionally or physically from the pandemic. Updated information on the resources available and the general climate in schools after the pandemic can also help education systems prepare for the future.

 

Results from PISA 2022 show that some education systems coped better than others during and after pandemic-related school closures – and even learned from the experience. These resilient education systems have a few policies in common: they kept schools open for longer for more students; students encountered fewer obstacles to remote learning; and they worked to strengthen parent-school partnerships, among others.

 

Insights drawn from PISA 2022 data can help education systems bolster their resilience to disruption, and rethink learning and teaching. Given that it is all but inevitable that education will continue to be affected by natural and man-made shocks and disturbances, both global, such as pandemics and climate change, and local, including earthquakes, floods and war, education systems need to build their capacity to withstand adversity.

Pros and Cons of AI in Education

Pros and Cons of AI in Education | Edumorfosis.it | Scoop.it

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making major inroads into education. AI tutors, virtual assistants, and adaptive learning platforms are being adopted by schools, colleges, and universities around the world. In addition, many students are using AI to write coursework and essays, which has caused a lot of outrage.

 

Proponents argue AI can make education more personalized, engaging, and effective while reducing costs and workload for teachers. However, critics worry about the risks and limitations of relying too heavily on AI in education, as well as the problems caused by students using AI rather than penning work themselves.

Here we explore some of the key pros and cons of the increasing use of AI in education, from an education professional’s perspective.
