Abschlussbericht des Forschungsfreisemester im Sommersemester 2023

Dieser Bericht liefert eine kompakte Übersicht meines Forschungsfreisemesters im Zeitraum 01.02.2023 bis 31.08.2023 an der Univertisät Tampere.

Der angegebene Zeitraum wurden für verschiedene Tätigkeiten genutzt:

1. Teilnahme an der Konferenz „Eyes on TAMK“
2. Entwicklung einer Elektronik für EEG/EKG Sensoren
3. Einarbeitung in neue Werkzeuge für die Lehre der Elektronik
4. Erstellung von ILIAS Übungen

Teilnahme an der Konferenz "Eyes on TAMK"

Um den Austausch mit der Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) und ihres Netzwerks habe ich an der Konferenz Eyes on TAMK im Zeitraum vom 20.03.2023 bis 24.03.2023 teilgenommen. Im Folgenden soll auf einige der gehörten Vorträge eingegangen werden

Outlook in Edu?

• Wilson: preservation and explicitly preserving the endangered local Indigenous language, Nyamal
• Kostia: staying competitive as a country
  • more possibilities for learners: e.g. education more in small chunks
  • collaboration: between universities and companies (also up-to-now not existing ones)
  • educational products
• Rimkus:
  • increase the market share of private universities --> learning point
    • focussed target groups
    • clear profile
    • your investment will get you to the working goal
  • increase flexibility for students, e.g. part-time studies
• Muhonen:
  • „Where is sit competition“
  • less teachers --> more educational designer
    • what is a good question for a 2nd semester BA student?
    • Design thinking
  • Collaboration
    • with companies: what to teach?
  • leadership on „every level“: from primary school to university
    • The learning culture in the organization „university“ will spread to the student
• Mi: Thinking of „whole human race“
  • too much time is wasted while competing (China in school in uni). afterward, collaboration is needed
  • seeing and emphasizing the advantages of the different cultures and countries
• How to involve the „end-users“ in designing?

Opportunities of networks?

• Wilson:
  • Marble Bar is far out --> was an advantage in the COVID time
  • virtual teacher education as an immersive experience as an avatar in VR.
  • virtual networking and connecting digitally (esp. linguistically diverse groups)
  • Master is 3 weeks in Finland and after this online worldwide
• Muhonen
  • The university has international buddies for students
  • students can learn how to act in an intercultural world
  • Nederlands: are there too many international students?
• Rimkus
  • learning online
  • exchange helps foster the change the mindset, e.g. in changing structures and curricula: It's working already somewhere!
• Kostia
  • creating new ideas and projects sometimes is easier than in-house
  • power in networks as a platform for lobbying ideas
  • needs (re)sources from the university
• Mi
  • China: The COVID situation created more of an intranet than an internet.
  • creating working experiences by exchange
  • Exchange has a history in China (e.g. Christian schools) --> hybrid Western + China is better

good practice for international networking:

• Wilson:
  • 4-year journey of building Marble Bar virtual world
  • oriental and Western ways of curriculum
  • more aboriginal culture and astronomy in VR
• Muhonen
  • Erasmus program: 5 countries for intercultural competence program --> now implemented in the curriculum
• Rimkus
  • enabling PhDs for students by a collab with universities
  • double degree programs
• Mi: Chinese cooking course (only for 20 students)
  • cooking is a language
  • collab with kitchen lab in NY: exchange online --> In the end it produces a book
  • outcome visible in chemistry marks
• Kostia
  • making and eating food is a good starter and sustainer for networking
  • sharing ideas and contacts

what single part would you change in global education?

• Rimkus: Flexibility
  • flexibility in the organization and in the mind of the people
  • flexibility for new approaches to education
• Kostia: KISS!
  • user-oriented mindset
  • also in politics in order to increase the flexibility of the universities
• Wilson: guiding the cultural responsibility of the teachers
• Muhonen: trust and space
  • not only having the traditional classroom
  • many countries have a lack of teachers --> Fun and space should be more visible
• Mi:
  • stand up in class --> harder to sleep
  • activate more senses for memorizing the specialties in the curriculum
  • teacher as a fitness trainer: e.g. let's make the students give the class

Teaching is the most important profession in the world.

Q&A:

• How to get students to go abroad?
  • structured in curricula for exchange from Germany but not to Germany
  • Australia is opening borders to foreign students.

12.00 The future of internationalization

• less cost-intensive, less mobility-driven, but with more focus on improving the education
• cultural understanding
• why does the learner come to classes --> Attractivity, trustworthiness

14.00 Workshop: Rise of the Robots: How Might We Deal with the Increasing Use of AI in Education?

• Focus on language generators
• Image generators
• The Pseudo Uni: machines are emulating humans for machines emulating humans.
• not AI not AGI, but GAI
• The industry provides test generators and, in parallel, test generator checkers --> It seems like a rat race
• anthropomorphism: It lies
• Is AI as a discipline based on deceit? Or the illusion of intelligence?
• Arthur C Clarke: „Any teacher can be replaced by a machine should be!“ --> „Any assessment that can be completed by a generative AI should be (substituted by something different)“
• Writing as a metric for learning? --> But is writing thinking? Or do we write to focus our thinking?
• TAMK encourages use, but students are responsible for cheating. --> Isn't it giving the rope but don't hang yourself!
