“…Fink's taxonomy is also built to weather the current paradigm shift to learner-centered teaching. Learner-centered teaching has gained sturdy pedagogical footing since Fink's original discussion in 1997 (Hoidn and Klemenčič 2021). The challenges that Fink wrote about 25 years ago remain unresolved for universities and colleges.…”

“…This broad pedagogy has been applied widely to other disciplines and topics, including design ( 32 ), equity and justice ( 33 ), and in healthcare and public health ( 34 ). A person-, human-, or student-centered approach is intended to improve knowledge attainment and sometimes shift behavior, giving emphasis to the personal characteristics and experiences of students, as opposed to traditional “content-centered learning” ( 35 ). Student-centered learning emphasizes active, not passive, learning, as well as efforts to build deep understanding, increased responsibility and accountability for the student, autonomy, and mutual respect between teacher and learner ( 36 ).…”

Responding effectively to intensifying climate change hazards to protect human health in personal and professional settings is an urgent and pressing challenge. This will require collaboration and subject matter expertise of people across the life course and occupations. In this perspective piece, we build on a previously published compilation of climate and health literacy elements to explore tangible opportunities to strengthen climate and health understanding among individuals spanning educational levels, professional settings, and societal needs. Educational materials addressing climate change and health linkages have historically focused on K-12, college, post-graduate education, and continuing medical education, with less attention devoted to reaching students in trade schools and other professional settings. Here, we outline a flexible blueprint for strengthening climate and health literacy among all people by targeting education in a way that is relevant for each age group or profession. In particular, we discuss the idea of professional adaptability as a way to design practical climate and health training for people currently in the workforce.

“…Within this umbrella, two of the most important current trends in instructional design stem from the theories of student-centered learning and competency-based learning. Both are clearly related to the stakeholder-first approach, but they also have certain differences: the student-centered approach revolves around the idea of adapting the methodology to the needs of the students (Hoidn and Reusser, 2020), while the competency-based approach focuses more on learning outcomes and their assessment (Gervais, 2016; Voorhees, 2001). However, the main similarity with the framework presented here is that the content to be taught is secondary to the learning design, in the sense that it does not determine the instructional process.…”

The need for citizens to better understand the ethical and social challenges of algorithmic systems has led to a rapid proliferation of AI literacy initiatives. After reviewing the literature on AI literacy projects, we found that most educational practices in this area are based on teaching programming fundamentals, primarily to K-12 students. This leaves out citizens and those who are primarily interested in understanding the implications of automated decision- making systems, rather than in learning to code. To address these gaps, this article explores the methodological contributions of responsible AI education practices that focus first on stakeholders when designing learning experiences for different audiences and contexts. The article examines the weaknesses identified in current AI literacy projects, explains the stakeholder-first approach, and analyzes several responsible AI education case studies, to illustrate how such an approach can help overcome the aforementioned limitations. The results suggest that the stakeholder-first approach allows to address audiences beyond the usual ones in the field of AI literacy, and to incorporate new content and methodologies depending on the needs of the respective audiences, thus opening new avenues for teaching and research in the field.
