Offer Description
About TALOS-Project The objective of the Talos ERA Chair Project funded by the European Union is to create a new centre of excellence in Artificial Intelligence for SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) that will interconnect several departments of UoC departments at Rethymnon (the Schools of Philosophy, Education and Social Sciences, coordinating department: Department of Philology) under a common research and teaching agenda. TALOS will combine the strengths of neural networks with symbolic reasoning to create a scalable, sustainable and explainable representation of knowledge in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. In order to reach this general objective, six related Research Topics (RT) will be pursued. This call is part of the Research Topic 4:Digitalization and datafication of Education. Position Description: The offered research job position is about education and more specifically about language curriculum (L1 curriculum in Greece in the 21st century). We will focus on three user groups: researchers (educational and linguistics), teachers and policy-makers. It aims to answer questions such as (not limited to): - Analysing curriculum in order to find out if there is adequacy (or alignment?) between aimed skills and proposed activities? - Is there alignment between the curriculum’s introduction (initial assertions and general aims) and its practical guidelines? - Is this curriculum interdisciplinary? - Is this curriculum aligned with the Action Plan for L1 of the European Union? - Is this curriculum student-centred? - Which is the core knowledge in this curriculum? It is necessary to propose a modelling and a digital representation of curricula that allows their processing by machines. To this end, the contribution of artificial intelligence and natural language processing will be studied in the domain of NLP, Knowledge acquisition & representation as well as in standards (ISO & W3C). For example, this includes ontologies which “are used with great success in education because they allow to formulate the representation of a learning domain by specifying all concepts involved, relations between concepts and all properties and conditions that exist” [Stancin et al. 2020]. Expected results: 1. doctoral thesis (first completed version) Title: Digitalisation of Education: Contribution of Artificial Intelligence in Curriculum Analysis 2. two presentations at a conference and/or an article in scientific journal
