Fostering Critical Thinking, AI and Data Literacy, and Global Competence amongst Business Students

Research output: Contribution to a Journal (Peer & Non Peer)Conference articlepeer-review

Abstract

This work-in-progress applied research paper reports on how undergraduate business students at an Irish university engaged with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through working on an authentic problem-based learning assignment using analytics tools, students improved their data and artificial intelligence (AI) literacy. The assignment also fostered global competence, critical thinking, and digital responsibility, with students reflecting on the challenges of working with complex, polymorphic data of mixed quality, and consequent implications for effective evidence-based policy making.
