Call
Summary
Proposals should support the purposeful and pedagogical use of emerging technologies, including applications of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and robotics in education and training, in order to foster 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, digital literacy, critical as well as design thinking and creativity.
Detailed Call Description
Research should focus on how different learners experience, benefit, or are excluded from, digitally enhanced learning (e.g. male and female students, students of a migrant background, students with disabilities, and/or learning difficulties, gifted and talented students, urban and rural populations, young and adult learners, etc.).
Proposals should tackle the potential negative effects of using technologies in schools, while also looking at the positive effects of using such technologies to increase students’ learning opportunities. In addition, the research should explore the effects of digital technologies on the learning of basic skills, examining also the resilience and the capacity for effective mass-deployment of e-learning capabilities in cases of crises and major emergencies such as pandemics, disruptive events as well as man-made or natural disasters, which can undermine the human and social dimension of learning.
The action should identify barriers, enablers and framework conditions for successfully embedding emerging technologies in educational practices, including necessary innovation skills for teachers. It should also assess potential vulnerabilities and negative unforeseen consequences, which might arise from the use of new technologies.
Proposals should analyse the shifting role of teachers, trainers and educational leaders in the digital transition affecting education and training as well as their training needs.
