Artificial Intelligence-toepassingen (AI) beïnvloeden het leven en werk van iedereen en vragen daarmee doelgerichte aanpassingen aan bachelorcurricula en het handelingsrepertoire van docenten. In Comenius Leadership project ‘AI4Students’ wordt in participatief actie-onderzoek een methodiek ontwikkeld waarmee teams in bacheloropleidingen aan hogescholen in kaart kunnen brengen welke veranderingen nodig zijn om studenten AI-ready te kunnen laten afstuderen. De methodiek zal bestaan uit een AI-scan en werkwijzen om het sociale, pedagogisch-didactische proces van het uitvoeren van de scan doelgericht vorm te geven; gericht op inclusie van verschillende perspectieven, gedeeld eigenaarschap van docenten van het curriculum en studentbetrokkenheid.Dit wordt gedaan door in drie iteraties bij negen opleidingen van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam co-creatiesessies met docenten en studenten te houden. De co-creatiesessies worden opgenomen en geanalyseerd aan de hand van uitgewerkte observaties waarbij het Communities of Practice-framework van Wenger (1999) en de notie van ‘social learning spaces’ van Wenger-Trayner en Wenger-Trayner (2020) dienen als theoretische lens.Nu de eerste iteratie en evaluatie zijn afgerond, kunnen we de aanpak en ons voortschrijdend inzicht delen, samen met wat dat betekent voor de tweede iteratie. Dit en preliminaire ideeën voor de discipline-overstijgende methodiek en de praktische toepassing ervan bespreken we graag met het publiek.Dit onderzoek is NRO-gefinancierd.

In physiotherapy practice, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common. For instance, you may be familiar with STarT Back Tool, a decision-support model designed for individuals with low back pain.1 This model can assess risks and recommends the most appropriate treatment while enhancing clients’ self-management. However, the use of AI also raises ethical questions. In this editorial we explore these ethical questions through a moral case deliberation that, while still futuristic, is rapidly approaching reality. n this editorial, we explore ethical issues regarding AI in physiotherapy. We do so through the lens of the sports medicine dialogue, a method for moral case deliberation that supports a care-ethical approach for physiotherapists and sport physicians.3 This method employs the metaphor of a sports match: itandapos;s about winning and losing, the players on the field, as well as the broader context in which the game takes place. In this method, we evaluate the perspectives of all those involved in the sport match regarding a central question. The central question that is deliberated is: “What is at stake?”.3 By use of the sports metaphor we are invited to look at an ethical question from multiple perspectives, delay our primary reactions and simplify difficult ethical problems such as the usage of AI.

In this article I will discuss theories on students’ success in higher education and the need for adjustments of these theories in the contemporary, information and media saturated world. The integration theory on student retention, founded by Tinto and further developed by him and many others, lies at the base of most studies on student success. In line with Tinto’s theory the majority of studies measure both social and academic integration of a student, alongside background variables. Social integration is shaped by the personal contact with fellow students and staff and whether or not a student enjoys being at the institute. Academic integration has more to do with academic achievement and sharing the academic norms and values. Although the distinction of these types of integration has been experienced as an artificial one and has been abandoned in more recent studies, the conclusion of most studies remains the same: the higher the level of integration, the greater the level of commitment, which in turn has a positive affect on the likelihood of student persistence in college and the success of a student. More recent studies use ‘engagement’ to embed the various factors of integration to avoid the rigid distinction between social and academic and to include new forms of communication between students for social, academic and other purposes. Furthermore the world has changed since the origin of Tinto’s integration theory in the early eighties, especially if you look at the changes in society under the influence of technology in general and in particular the Internet. New ways of communicating has emerged which brought along new possibilities. The emergence of smart phones has played a big part in the various ways we communicate. The new devices and communication tools have made it possible to employ integrating social and academic activities without the necessity of physical presence. The central question of the article is: Should online communities or engaging platforms like Facebook, be taken into account when investigating the influential facors of student success?
