5th International INASTE Congress
Human Intelligence
The 5th international INASTE Congress will take place at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna from 7PM on May 22, 2025 to 6PM on May 24, 2025.
The possible uses of artificial intelligence have become an increasingly dominant theme in social, political and economic discourse. This is also the case in education and educational research. At the same time, the achievements of artificial intelligence call upon us to reconsider the unique and varied possibilities of human intelligence - upon which artificial intelligence is ultimately based. What specific qualities do human and artificial intelligence share, wherein lie fundamental differences, and how can they complement each other?
The INASTE Congress 2025 invites participants to address the changes brought on by current technological developments in relation to our own understanding of ourselves as intentional and responsible educators. In addition to keynote lectures, there will be short lectures and discussion on themes regarding:
Developing Emotional and Social Intelligence in Schools and Teacher Education
The Intelligence of the Body: Performative Teaching and Learning
The Relevance of the Concept of Multiple Intelligences in an Age of Artificial Intelligence
Can Artificial Intelligence be Integrated into Humanistic Teaching and Learning?
The Roles of Knowledge, Imagination and Creativity in Teacher Education and in Schools
