A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. • Is the scientific study of the origins of
humans, how we have changed over the
years, and how we relate to each other,
both within our own culture and with
people from other cultures.
• Anthropology is Arts and Science.
ANTHROPOLOGY
The term originates from two words in
Greek:
• Anthropos meaning “man” as in
“human being”
• logos meaning “study”.
3. KEY CONCEPTS
 Society and Culture
- Culture and society are intricately related. A culture consists of
the “objects” of a society, whereas a society consists of the
people who share a common culture. When the
terms culture and society first acquired their current meanings,
most people in the world worked and lived in small groups in the
same locale
 Evolution
- Most anthropologists also believe that an evolution is the natural
process by which new and more complex organisms develop
over time.
4. There are four main subdivisions
(areas) in the study of Anthropology:
Physical Anthropology
Archeology
Cultural Anthropology
Linguistic Anthropology
5. PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
Biological anthropology, also known as physical
anthropology, is a scientific discipline concerned
with thebiological and behavioral aspects of
human beings, their related non-human
primates and their extinct hominin ancestors.
Physical anthropologists focus on the evolution
of human anatomy and physiology, rather than
culture.
6.
7. • Archaeology is the study of the ancient and recent human past
through material remains. It is a subfield of anthropology, the study
of all human culture
• Archaeology offers a unique perspective on human history and
culture.

9. Cultural anthropology is a branch of anthropology focused on
the study of cultural variation among humans and is in
contrast to social anthrology which perceives cultural
variation as a subset of the anthropological constant.
Cultural Anthropology
Cultural anthropologists study such topics as how people
make their living, how people interact with each other, what
beliefs people hold, and what institution organize people in
the society
10.
11. It seeks to understand human language, written and non-
written, spoken and non-verbal. The study of how languages
change over time is termed historical linguistics.
Explores how language shapes communication, forms social

representation of natural and social worlds.
Linguistic Anthropology

13. OTHER SOCIAL SCIENCES
 Sociology – anthropology involves the study of human society and
culture.
 Human Psychology – anthropology also examines certain aspects of
human psychology. Anthropology studies how people become
enculturated – shaped by their culture as they grow up in a particular
society.
 History – the term history refers only to periods of time after the
invention of writing. Anthropologist often study historical documents to
learn more about the past of living people.
 Economics and Political – anthropologist focus on how aspects of
ecomics and politics relate to other aspects of culture, such as important
15. Evolutionary Theory
The theory of evolution by natural selection,
first formulated in Darwin's book "On the
Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by
which organisms change over time as a result
of changes in heritable physical or behavioral
traits. Changes that allow an organism to
better adapt to its environment will help it
survive and have more offspring.
Charles Robert Darwin, FRS FRGS FLS
FZS was an English naturalist and
geologist, best known for his
contributions to the science of
evolution
Beginnings of Modern Anthropology
16. Anthropological Evolutionary Theories
Edward Burnett Tylor (2 October 1832
– 2 January 1917) was an
English anthropologists, the founder
of cultural anthropology.
Tylor is representative of cultural
evolutionism. In his works Primitive
Culture and Anthropology, he defined
the context of the scientific study of
anthropology, based on the
evolutionary theories of Charles Lyell.
He believed that there was a
functional basis for the development
of society and religion, which he
determined was universal.
18. FRANZ BOAS
BORN: 9-JUL-1858, BIRTHPLACE: MINDEN, GERMANY, DIED: 22-DEC-1942
 Studied and widely collected
information on race, linguistics, art,
dance, and archaeology.
 From these studies he developed his
theory of relativism, debunking the
prevailing beliefs that Western

participation/observation in Samoa and New
Guinea

20. Functionalism
Emile Durkheim
One of the fathers of sociology, utilized
scientific methods to approach the
study of society and social groups. His
work influenced the school of
anthropology known as functionalism.
Durkheim believed that individuals
should be considered within the context
of the society in which they live.
21. STRUCTURALISM
Claude Levi-Strauss
French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss
based his understanding of culture on studies
of people’s languages and recurring patterns
of thought and behavior. His cultural theories
are associated with the anthropological
movement known as structuralism.
22. CULTURAL MATERIALISM AND CULTURAL ECOLOGY
 In the 1960s, American anthropologists
such as Julian Steward, Roy Rappaport,
Marvin Harris began to study how
culture and social institutions relate to
a people’s technology, economy, and
natural environment. All of these
factors together define a people’s
patterns of substinence-how they feed,
clothe, shelter, and otherwise provide
for themselves
Julian Steward Roy Rappaport
Marvin Harris
23. SYMBOLIC ANTHROPOLOGY
 In the 1970s many anthropologists,
including American ethnologist
Clifford Geertz and British
ethnologists Victor Turner, moved
away from ecological and economic
explanations of people’s cultures.
Instead, these anthropologists looked
for the meanings of particular cultural
symbols snd rituals within cultures
themselves, an approach known as
Clifford Geertz
