Future Education at KTH is a change programme with a framework that will help us to be proactive and structure our development work of KTH's education based on a long-term holistic perspective.
The framework consists of 13 principles clustered in 5 areas.
When today's knowledge in generative AI and programming will be dated asap, how will the role of teachers change? How will teachers learn to ensure that graduates have the ‘right’ skills that industry demands? Johan and Joakim Lilliesköld talk in Swedish to KTH alumnus Henrik Kniberg (crisp.se) about practical applications of generative AI and how it will change both education and the need for programmers in the future.
Fika Chat on Challenge-Driven Education with wicked problems
What makes a student say to a municipality ‘This is not a good challenge’? And what do all the teachers who have worked challenge-driven say? Johan and Gunnar talk with Anders Rosén and Lena Gumaelius about, among other things, conflicting goals, complex versus complicated, concrete tricks on how teachers can gradually introduce wicked problems in their course (without having all the answers!) and tips on various competence development activities for teachers.
Fika Chat on various perspectives on AI in higher education
How are generative AI tools used in courses today at KTH? Until KTH has decided on common guidelines: what general principle can students use to know what is considered ‘cheating’? What can't be said too often in these contexts? Johan and Joakim Lilliesköld talk to Professor Arnold Pears and student Avid Fayaz , who is a podcaster and active in the KTH AI Society (kthais.com) .

In the generative change model, six main activities are iterated: identify the adaptive challenge; reframe into a purpose statement (generative image); engage stakeholders in generative dialogues; stimulate self-organised innovations (probes); learn from success and failures; scale-up and embed successful probes.
Tip: Course in generative change management for those facing complex challenges
Applications linked to assignments to lead current developments in the change programme Future Education at KTH will be prioritised. The training is divided into four days, with about 1 month between ...

"He exaggerated a little," said an audience member after Professor Arnold Pear's end note at SoTL 2023. Arnold talked about, among other things, individualised learning experiences and how campus institutions must rethink their resources. Do you agree?
Summary of CDIO's meeting about the future of engineering education
In January 2024, KTH hosted CDIO's regional meeting focusing on the future of engineering education. Read a summary of the day's discussions and main takeaways.
Current Research in Higher Education Pedagogy is the newsletter that shares new research on teaching and learning in higher education in an easily accessible way. Some articles are in English.
Via the "Education" mega menu on the intranet, you will find web pages that collect support resources for teachers and administrators, everything from design tips, manuals and process descriptions to news and support activities.
English translations of web pages may take some time.
Remember that many links on this start page lead to other parts of KTH's website. In particular, we publish more formal decisions, organisation and plans of the programme on the intranet entry for "Organisation and Regulations": Change programme for Future Education at KTH .
