Adrijana Krebs
ABSTRACT:
Due to influence of artificial intelligence and its compromising effects on the education the traditional roles and practices necessitate critical rethinking. Education 5.0, as future of education, bridges the educational technology innovations and human centred approach that harmonize smart teaching and wellbeing of the stakeholders. Besides having technical skills, teaching in Education 5.0 means considering academic integrity, fair and trustworthy assessment, data protection, applying comprehensive ethical approach and having developed soft skills. As the redefinition journey due to AI innovations has dynamic character, this proposal activates a trend radar and actively include stakeholders in the form of international focus group sessions throughout the whole project, in order to embrace the current regulations and policies on the one side and practical implementations on the other. This abstract outlines a proposal for the redefinition of the role of educators in a form of an international project. It includes active participation of educators as main target group and invites students and educational experts. Having international perspective, educator-student-expert point of view and current regulations in background, this project results in continuous professional development possibilities for all stakeholders, redefined role of educators and loops of reflection. The proposal builds upon a finished international Erasmus+ Projects that aimed to enhance the digital competences of educators. As AI is overwhelming the educational practice, the redefinition of teaching practices and the role of educators is crucial to navigate the future of Education.
