Special Edition

This special edition focuses on the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge in nursing education practice, scholarship, and policy. By examining practical and philosophical questions and implications surrounding this relationship, this edition seeks to foster scholarly discourse and inform pedagogical practices and policies that aim to ensure the ethical and responsible application of these technologies.

We invite submissions regarding but not limited to the following topics on the relationship between AI and knowledge:

  • How might it inform nurse educators in designing learning experiences that best prepare future nurses’ clinical reasoning abilities?
  • How might it guide academic leadership in proposing a vision and a strategic direction for responsible and ethical integration of AI into nursing education and research?
  • How might it guide nurse educators to champion AI as a tool to augment nursing education while also sustaining the essence of a compassionate, equitable, inclusive, and learner-centred approach to pedagogy?
  • How might it inform the ethical use of AI in nursing education and academic research/scholarship?
  • How might it inform pedagogical theory and approaches for assessment of learning in nursing education?
  • How might it foster dialogue about the potential negative and positive consequences of AI on the broader health care environment and academic organizational effectiveness and sustainability?
  • How might it promote or hinder the value of diverse forms of knowledge?
