Part of the education breakout sessions addressed the appropriate academicbackground or experiences and also how to structure HRI education in the future. There was aconsensus that a variety of academic backgrounds or disciplines are necessary for a successfulteam in HRI research. It was also integral that there was a common language so that thesevarious disciplines could communicate and collaborate. One of the challenges to education is theability of technical and non-technical students to take coursework in other disciplines to educatethemselves on other relevant aspects of HRI. The course

However, the course is somewhat different in the extensive focus on integratingknowledge across individual organs and systems to troubleshoot signs and symptoms affecting the entiresystem. The PSS sessions emphasize evaluative and applicational questions (i.e., higher levels of Bloom’staxonomy[20]). The sessions, which operate at Chi’s active level [14], are typically built around medical casestudies and typically ask students to make treatment or other decisions in the case studies.

They are true“digital natives.” Unlike their Millennial or Generation Z parents and teachers who adapted totechnology as it emerged, Gen Alpha seamlessly incorporates digital tools into their everydayroutines. This generational shift has created a pressing challenge: how to support children inengaging responsibly and creatively with technology while ensuring their developmental needsare met [1]. Efforts to address this challenge have evolved from simply restricting technologyaccess to actively guiding and managing children’s interactions with digital tools.
