News Monday, 09:00 10-05-2021

While the traditional teaching method focuses on transferring knowledge from teachers to the learners, competence-based education motivates them to acquire, create and translate knowledge into reality effectively. Competence-based education is to train the capacity and active thinking so the learners know how to make the best out of other people’s knowledge and apply what they have learnt into real-life situations. Based on the concept and experiences of competence-based education, the author proposes some recommendations to standardize the media and communication programs at the Academy of Journalism and Communication in particular and in the country in general.

Digital transformation in higher education: analysis of the current situation and solutions for applying AI in students’ learning activities at Academy of Journalism and Communication

Abstract: Today, digital transformation in higher education has become a strategic priority. However, due to varying conditions, students’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) mainly remains at a basic level of learning activities. At the same time, concerns have been raised about the risks of limiting independent thinking and fostering overreliance on technology. This article analyzes the current situation of using AI in students’ learning activities, based on a survey of 624 students at the Academy of Journalism and Communication, to propose optimal solutions. The results reveal the level of awareness and usage of AI in learning, as well as the benefits of its application. The paper also suggests specific measures to maximize AI’s advantages and promote responsible technology use, thereby advancing a learner-centered and holistic educational model.
