Humanised Practices in Arts & Humanities Education.

This session showcases 'humanised' pedagogy and assessment that respond to the disruption and consequent uncertainty caused by generative AI across most educational settings. It involves participants in kinaesthetic learning activities that induce intuition, uncertainty and a process of 'letting go' that is fundamental to creativity as a distinctly human capability. The study also explores assessment instruments and processes pioneered at the University of Canberra that guard against the misuse of generative AI while at the same time establishing knowledge and identity as evolving, dynamic and contextually contingent things that foster curiosity, collaboration and agency. Finally, the study argues that these qualities and capabilities provide a relatively stable basis on which to ground arts and humanities education, and it makes a claim for them as salient 'human capital' in an educational landscape that is increasingly dominated by generative AI superiority.
