Abstract
An article on curiosity by Miles Berry, Professor of Computing Education at the University of Roehampton, discusses the advent of AI chatbots that provide an interactive style of learning close to personal tutoring. While not all students are curious enough to make use of these things themselves, Berry suggests that this is where schools can empower and motivate pupils to learn things for themselves, rather than just listening attentively to what is taught.
He moves on to provide three practical suggestions on how this could be done, including a shift in focus from theory and problems to projects, offering students music and gaming applications, and allowing them to tinker with code. Berry also promotes the use of questions in lessons to encourage curiosity in the classroom.
