معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In this episode, Professor Sugata Mitra and I explore how education could change in a world shaped by the internet and artificial intelligence. We discuss his famous Hole in the Wall experiment, self-organised learning environments, and why groups of children can often teach themselves when they have access to technology, questions, and one another. Professor Mitra explains why the teacher’s role should shift from delivering answers to guiding students through questions and discovery. We also explore whether using AI and the internet should really be considered cheating, why memorisation-based exams may no longer make sense, and how assessment could focus more on real-world outcomes and the ability to learn, apply, and communicate knowledge. Finally, we discuss curiosity, emergence, the importance of learning in groups, the energy demands of AI, and why philosophy and psychology may be essential for preparing children for an increasingly unpredictable future.
