Possible topics for master and PhD thesis
Priority research topics related to the use of AI:
- Creating and training an AI bot to develop students' subject and medtasubject skills (school/higher education).
- Assessing skills to utilise AI (from voice assistants and conversational agents to the internet of things).
- Assessing and building prompting skills among school students and adults
- Development of a repository of materials for teachers and parents on developing of AI skills and digital literacy in children.
- Developing AI skills in schoolchildren (using family genealogy projects as an example)
- History of informatisation of the school (it is possible to use digital history methods - digital analysis of press materials, memoirs, etc.)
- Multimodal analytics in research on how students learn (e.g. through the teaching of prompting techniques).
In addition, I am currently working on the use of digital footprints and non-reactive data in relation to assessing the transformation of general education during digital uptake. This topic is relevant as there is a need to compare different educational organisations and different educational systems with each other. The following research topics are possible or relevant:
- How to assess whether digital transformation of education is taking place? (with examples of selected indicators built on non-reactive data)
- Use of crowdsourced data to assess the digital transformation of education: a methodology
