Description

In this episode, Daniel speaks with Muireann Hendriksen, the Principal Research Scientist at Pearson, about her team's recent research study called "Asking to Learn" The study analysed 128,000 AI queries from 9,000 student users to gain deeper insights into how students learn when they interact with AI study tools. Their key finding revealed that approximately one-third of student queries demonstrated higher-order thinking skills. Their conversation also explores important themes around trust, student engagement, accessibility, and inclusivity, as well as how AI tools can promote active learning behaviours.
