Cognitive processes such as perception, attention, and reasoning form the foundation of human learning. With the rapid advancement of AI, however, many tasks that once required active mental effort can now be performed by technology. What cognitive processes should educators prioritize as artificial intelligence becomes a common tool in students’ learning? Which skills and strategies are most critical to nurture in this new environment?
Join us for a discussion with Tina Grotzer, Principal Research Scientist and Faculty Member at HGSE, Faculty Director of Next Level Lab, and Principal Investigator at Project Zero. Drawing on cognitive science and her extensive research into how people learn, Professor Grotzer will share practical, research-based strategies for supporting metacognition and reflective learning. She will also help us consider how these approaches can be adapted as AI use continues to increase.
Attendees will leave with new insights for how they can think about AI use in their own classrooms and a deeper understanding of how to support student learning in an evolving technological landscape. Bring your questions and experiences for a lively, collaborative conversation.
This event, hosted by the Research-Informed Teaching & Learning (RITL) TLC Affinity Group, is open to members of the Harvard community. The event will be held online; the Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
