AI in Dual Higher Education: Digital Transformation and Pedagogical Innovation and Human Agency
The European Scientific Journal for Dual Higher Education (ESJ DHE) invites submissions for its 2026/3 issue on “AI in Dual Higher Education: Digital Transformation and Pedagogical Innovation and Human Agency”. The issue examines how AI in dual and cooperative higher education can drive pedagogical innovation, reshape teaching, learning, and work-based learning, and strengthen human agency, ethical reflection, and institutional responsibility in times of rapid digital transformation.
We welcome empirical, comparative, conceptual, and practice-based contributions that examine, for example how:
- How is AI transforming teaching, learning, and assessment in dual and cooperative higher education?
- What forms of pedagogical innovation emerge when AI is integrated into dual study programs and work-based learning environments?
- How can AI support student learning, reflection, feedback, and competence development across academic and workplace settings?
