Today's guest: Arnold Pears

Arnold Pears is Professor of Engineering education research at KTH. His research focuses on understanding the learning experience from a student perspective, both in terms of learning specific engineering concepts and more generally in terms of engineering skills and competences.

With a background in computer science, he has been prompted to think specifically about the implications of AI and machine learning for teachers' teaching practices. In this week's podcast episode, podcast host Johan talks about this theme with Arnold.
