Time, emotions and moral judgements: how university students position GenAI within their study www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… #AI #students #education
Text Shot: The emergence of Generative AI (GenAI) in higher education has prompted considerable discussion within the research community. Despite their centrality, students’ perspectives remain underexplored. We investigated how students position GenAI in relation to their studies, conducting focus groups with 79 students across four Australian universities. Taking a sociotechnical stance and employing reflexive thematic analysis, we identified three primary themes: (1) studying with and without GenAI; (2) mixing messages and assumptions; and (3) ‘coming from me’: self-trust and resistance to dependency. Crossing these themes were axial threads of time, emotions, and moral judgement. Our findings illuminate a complex, dynamic and uncertain landscape of relationships in which students prioritise their developing values and moral positions over institutional messaging. Amongst diverse and changing practices, students generally conveyed a sense that their educational work should come…

Authors synthesize research on informal learning in health profession education. They ID a range of informal learning opportunities, situate these theoretically, & identify enablers & threats faculty can be intentional about addressing.

Not just that woman who sits in the corner and says "patriarchy" at conferences to raised eyebrows, I write about this stuff, too! Gendered norms and gender inequality are embedded in academia. How could we be thinking about this in researcher development? #highered #resdev bsky.app/profile/herd...
