The primary goal of physics teaching is to educate human beings to science and its nature. However, as technology continues to evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining prominence not only in technical and scientific domains but also in education. Recently, the rise of AI has sparked both concern and enthusiasm among educators, affording new opportunities and challenges for teaching and learning.
As we navigate this fast-evolving landscape, several questions arise: What competences, practices, and aspects of human development do we aim to foster, and how does the availability of AI-based systems impact their teaching and learning? How should we, as educators, frame AI-based systems and our - and our students’ - interactions with them? Is it even possible to “collaborate” with AI in meaningful ways? The panelists, all experts in physics education research, will bring a variety of expertise and perspectives, from technical considerations to ethical implications.
Panelists
Context
The panel is the third lesson in a series of three, organized within the “Teaching and Learning Physics” course (MSc Physics). While the primary audience consists of students in the course, the event is also relevant to physics instructors, educators, and researchers. Supporting materials, including research papers, are available to help participants engage more deeply with the topic.
Panel structure and organization
The panelists will participate remotely, while students will attend in person. For the rest of the audience, in-person participation is preferred, but remote attendance is also allowed.
