Generative AI in vocational education and training. Increasing participation opportunities for bilingual women in social care programmes

This project investigates the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to strengthen the participation of female students with Danish as a second language in social and health care education (SOSU). We follow the thesis that GenAI, as a new technology with strong language based capabilities, can reduce the challenges that bilingual women experience, both in relation to language, acquisition of professional competences and their participation in education. In a collaboration between Aalborg University (AAU), the Centre for the Use of IT in the Teaching of Vocational Education and Training (CIU) and the Knowledge Centre for Welfare Technology (VFV) along with 12 Danish SOSU schools, the project will be crossing disciplinary boundaries between professional education, IT-didactics, and humanistic learning research by using the Learning Factory approach and ethnographic data collection.
