About the project
The Ph.D. project is part of the innovation project Learning in the age of algorithms (LAA), where Asker Municipality is a project partner. The project team will conduct case-based video recordings of primary and lower secondary school students' and teachers’ interactions with software based on artificial intelligence. The teachers in the project will participate as "co-researchers" by designing instruction. In addition, teachers will be interviewed and observed as part of the fieldwork.
The LAT project is led by Øystein Gilje. Sten Ludvigsen, Anders Mørch, Siv Sørås Valand and Henrik Tjønn are participants.
Objectives
A primary purpose is to contribute with didactic models that describe skills and competences ("KI-literacies") that teachers and students need to achieve learning-enhancing interaction with GAI. It is also a goal to analyze dialogues mediated by GAI in the light of established perspective and dialogue theory.
Background
Learning resources with algorithmics are already in use in schools. Based on the introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022, a need arose to explore if GAI can be used as a tool in Norwegian classrooms. Literature searches conducted in the autumn of 2023 indicate a need to investigate the use of tools with artificial intelligence in different school subjects in the classroom and on a larger scale.
Financing
The Research Council of Norway and The Department of Education (University of Oslo).
Cooperation
Asker Municipality
