A hemispheric reflection on ‘Global Trends in Education’: prioritizing the “soul of learning” amidst neurotechnological shifts
摘要
This commentary extends Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton’s work on academic integrity by applying Dr. McGilchrist’s bihemispheric theory, highlighting how the focus on “enhancement” via AI and neurotechnology aligns with the left hemisphere’s analytical mode, risking a superficial learning environment. This hemispheric imbalance raises concerns for the “soul of learning” as it may weaken emotional intelligence and ethical judgment. Educational institutions should strive for balanced hemispheric engagement, integrating technology to foster holistic understanding, empathy, and wisdom.
