“…They epitomize a hands-on, experiential learning approach coupled with a visually oriented educational style, which has proven to be highly engaging for students. Their efficacy in enhancing students' competencies in programming basics, electronics, mechanics and an integrated approach to STEM education has been empirically affirmed (Drach et al ., 2023). Beyond their academic applications, robots are recognized for their significant contributions to fostering inclusivity and support for students with severe illnesses by offering psychoeducational benefits and emotional assistance (Riera et al ., 2023).…”

PurposeThe objective of this proposal was to propose an educational innovation resource for the delivery of workshops with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA) themes aimed at students in high school and middle school to promote complex thinking as a necessary competency for understanding their continuously changing environment.Design/methodology/approachTraining for sexual and gender diversity challenges higher education institutions, some of which have bet on developing complex thinking to meet this need. Although not all universities have sufficient resources to create activities that foster relevant and diversity-sensitive competencies, some have implemented strategies ranging from modifying their curricula to designing specific classroom tasks that support student inclusion. In response to the challenges faced by higher education institutions (HEIs) to promote the acquisition of thinking skills for complexity, this paper proposes deploying a humanoid robot as an educational innovation tool in training initiatives that promote issues of sexual and gender diversity. The deployment model is described, considering design, delivery and evaluation. The value of this proposal lies in using humanoid robotics as a classroom resource within the framework of social robotics, considering its implications in the educational context to develop complex thinking competency and training for diversity in higher education students.FindingsThe data presented here highlight the importance of educational institutions integrating content into their plans, programs and activities (both curricular and extracurricular) that promote inclusion and sexual and gender diversity and attractive teaching strategies to reinforce this perspective. So, this proposal offers a support tool for implementing this content in everyday educational contexts where the objectives focus on triggering complex reasoning competencies.Research limitations/implicationsThe varied responses and perceptions of students towards robotics and sexual diversity, as well as the lack of clear methods to assess educational outcomes, may compromise the effectiveness of the intervention.Practical implicationsThe workshop proposed in this paper is configured as a series of iterations and repetitions in different educational fields, whether disciplinary (e.g. design or engineering) or transversal (e.g. entrepreneurship). The goal is to achieve educational strategies that generate a more significant impact at the institutional level. In this sense, the present proposal joins the actions implemented by other higher education institutions to make sexual and gender diversity visible to university students.Social implicationsThe overall aim is to bring awareness, understanding and education to students with an inclusive, respectful and equitable perspective.Originality/valueSocial robotics is an innovative and attractive tool for young people at the higher education level. We consider our study a pioneer in the area.

The purpose of the study is to determine the role of artificial intelligence in improving the quality of education and research. To achieve this goal, a content analysis was used. Of note is the SWOT analysis method, which was used to identify the positive and negative aspects of the integration of artificial intelligence into scientific and pedagogical life. The results show that the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of education is a promising and promising area for further development. The analysis conducted in this context revealed that innovative technologies have become an essential component of modern education. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more widespread and. However, for the further development of this area, it is important to improve the level of digital literacy among users. Based on the results of the study, both positive aspects and disadvantages in the use of these technologies can be identified. Among the advantages are the high adaptability of AI, the possibility of individualised learning, accessibility, and a wide range of applications, from primary school to higher education and research. It is important to note that these technologies can be used to achieve learning success regardless of geographical region, making them global in nature. The scientific novelty lies in the consideration of certain shortcomings, among which the issue of security is particularly relevant, especially in the context of global hybrid threats and the overall process of digitalisation. The conclusions note that to overcome the identified negative aspects of the use of AI in research and teaching, it is important to focus on the ethical aspects of using digital tools in general. It is also recommended to consider the possibility of organising additional online courses.

“…Extensive opportunities of the use of AI in education are to change the educational process and make it more innovative, inclusive, efficient and effective through the introduction of new high-quality learning methods. And the real goal of AI in education concerns individualization of education, building students' personalised learning trajectories according to their strengths and weaknesses, and adaptation of didactic materials to interior and exterior conditions of educational process (Drach et al, 2023;Shust et al, 2023).…”

The aim of the research was to evaluate innovative methodology and approaches to teaching with AI in Ukrainian higher education and to outline the effective delivery practices. The research objectives were to explain AI-based teaching approaches and methods used in the Ukrainian institutions of higher education, to find the most effective teaching approaches and methods in the system of training of future specialists, and to develop the methodological recommendations for instructors involved in the training of future AI experts. Within the framework of the given research, a number of pedagogical articles and key documents devoted to the analysis of used artificial intelligence in teaching, and implementation of AI-based methodology were studied . Over 50 scientific that were published during the recent five years to understand the problem and to evaluate the improvements brought by AI were selected. A mixed methodology that combined descriptive, association, and intervention methods was applied. Descriptive methods included literature review, narrative, content analysis of educational and professional programs, as well as the phenomenological approach. Associational methods included predictive analysis aimed at forecasting of the probability of innovative methodology and approaches that impact the AI education. The intervention suggested using a survey and an assessment. The research included 42 instructors of Ukrainian institutions of higher education that were involved in the training of future AI experts. They represented graduating departments that were responsible for the development of educational and professional program, formulated the training objectives, and designed the conceptual framework for the creation of innovative educational environment with the use of AI. The research resulted in the development of methodical recommendations on using teaching methods and approaches in AI-powered higher education. The recommendations can be suggested by instructors at higher education institutions that are involved specifically in training future AI experts . Also, the recommendations are applicable for scientific and pedagogical stuff working on digitalisation of educational process.
