2. Poučevanje filozofije z miselnimi eksperimenti : kvantni pristop k problemu takšnostiJanez Bregant, Boris Aberšek, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: Eno izmed težjih vprašanj v filozofiji duha je, kako nekaj takšnega, kot je zavest, ki se nam zdi nekaj edinstvenega, umestiti v fizični svet tako, da ne bo izgubila svoje unikatnosti. Največja prepreka, ki jo je treba pri tem premagati, je odsotnost jasnega mehanizma, ki bi natančno pojasnil, kako fenomenalna stanja vzniknejo iz gmote, ki jo imenujemo možgani. Težava pri tem je, da je izkustvo vedno subjektivno, zaradi česar se znanstvenim pojasnitvam, ki so objektivne, izmika. V tem prispevku bomo (i) pokazali, kako lahko z uporabo miselnih eksperimentov pri poučevanju filozofije, v našem primeru "kitajske sobe", ta problem nagovorimo in (ii) skušali ugotoviti, ali nam lahko odgovor na vprašanje, kako nastane zavest v naših možganih, priskrbi nedeterministična kvantna mehanika, pri čemer bomo zagovarjali trditev, da kvantni pristop k zavesti prej vodi k idealistični ontologiji kot pa k fizični pojasnitvi tega, kako se pojavi. Ključne besede: zavest, problem takšnosti, kitajska soba, idealizem, kvantna mehanika Objavljeno v DKUM: 13.01.2026; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 0

3. A hybrid AI-driven knowledge-based expert system for optimizing gear design : a case study for educationBoris Aberšek, Samo Kralj, Andrej Flogie, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper presents a hybrid knowledge-based expert system (KBES) designed to predict crack incubation and fatigue life in gear design, serving as both a research tool and an educational resource. While crack growth and initiation are well understood, crack incubation remains a challenging area. The presented expert system (KBES) integrates a novel mathematical model for crack incubation based on analogy and defect analysis principles with an optimization algorithm for gear design. The system uses genetic algorithms to optimize gear parameters, demonstrating a 5-10% deviation from experimental values in a specific gear design problem case study. Based on this KBES and a hybrid approach, we developed a learning environment based on an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) which serves older students (MSc and PhD) as a learning environment for the acquisition of knowledge and, above all, for the development of an in-depth understanding of the phenomena that occur both during incubation and initialization and during the further propagation of cracks in the root of the gear tooth, which is the basis for determining the lifespan of gear transmissions.

5. Filozofska analiza mehanizmov kognitivnega modeliranja in umetne inteligence v izobraževanjuBoris Aberšek, Metka Kordigel Aberšek, 2025, znanstvena monografija Opis: Tehnologija je dvoje, je vzrok in posledica za vse hitreje spreminjajočo se družbo. Ko danes govorimo o tehnologiji, govorimo predvsem o inteligentnih sistemih, o tako imenovanih kibernetskih sistemih, pri katerih sistem vsebuje, če govorimo v jeziku tehnologije, strojno opremo, stroje in naprave (človeško telo), in programsko opremo – inteligenco – duha, kar bi v jeziku humanistike lahko poimenovali tudi občutke, intencionalna stanja, čustva ipd. Mnogi problemi, ki so povezani s sodobnimi tehnologijami, so zato povezani tudi z (umetno) inteligenco in učenjem. Za reševanje problemov v zvezi z umetno inteligenco potrebujemo predvsem splošna znanja o svetu, družbi in ljudeh, kar je filozofski problem. Zato je za vse, ki morajo sprejemati odločitve s področja uporabe umetne inteligence, izjemno pomembno, da razumejo osnovne splošne mehanizme inteligence – filozofijo duha, tj. kako deluje naravna, kako deluje človeška inteligenca, kako se človek uči in prilagaja okolju, kar je še posebej pereče na področju vzgoje in izobraževanja.

6. Education strategy for the net generationAndrej Flogie, Boris Aberšek, Igor Pesek, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper addresses the urgent need to redefine education strategies for the Net Generation in the context of rapid technological and societal changes. First, the educational challenge is placed within a broader philosophical and cultural framework, focusing on the fluid and evolving nature of knowledge and human experience. Building on the paradigm shift from Web 2.0 to Web 4.0 and the emergence of Education 5.0, this paper investigates the pedagogical implications of these developments. Through conceptual analysis supported by contemporary educational theory, this paper proposes a model of education that integrates personalized learning, real-time feedback, and collaborative, interdisciplinary environments. A special focus is placed on the role of educators as mentors, rather than mere transmitters of information, and on the ethical, social, and emotional dimensions of digital learning. This article highlights the importance of adjusting educational practices to real-life contexts and future challenges of young learners while ensuring that the humanistic essence of education is not lost.

8. From chaos to the absurd : existentialism for the 21st centuryBoris Aberšek, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: As Sartre pointed out, philosophical questions are questions that each generation must ask themselves because only this promotes the feeling of being alive, which is especially true for existential questions closely related to time-space, the moment, and our society. Sartre placed his philosophy of existentialism in wartime and the social conditions of the time at the beginning of the 20th century. We can equate these conditions with today's conditions; we are once again facing threats of war, and once again, we are facing chaotic conditions that increasingly lead to absurdity but are also entirely different. Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, the clarity and disambiguation of the 20th century no longer exist, as the relationships between beings and the world have drastically changed. We can observe that (1) the world is not one; there are two worlds, the physical and the cyber world and (2) being is not one; there are two beings (entities), human and AI-based forms of artificial life (ALF), between which there is a permanent tension. We advocate the thesis that in the society of the future, man must still play a master role; he must still be the being who will guide this society. Also, as Sartre claimed, each era must create its philosophy and consider real time–space. Responses to changes in this time–space also relate to existentialism in the 21st century. In this context, it is necessary to redefine the view of the future and the guidelines for the development of future society.

9. Education of refugee children within the INTREF project frameworkMaja Kerneža, Dejan Zemljak, Metka Kordigel Aberšek, Boris Aberšek, Polonca Legvart, Helena Konšak, Hakan Sari, Ildikó Hanuliaková, Loreta Huber, Inga Laurusone, Kübra Terzioglu, Metin Kiliç, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Amidst growing migratory movements and hurdles of assimilation, the INTREF initiative strives to craft a comprehensive strategy for the schooling of refugee children, melding e-learning, emotional and social support, along with adaptable teaching methods. This endeavor learns on principles like linguistic diversity, cross-cultural skills, and customizing the educational journey, crucial for assimilation and triumph within academic settings. Studies indicate the indispensability of bespoke linguistic assistance, cognizance of cultural variances, and personalized educational tactics for the seamless school transition and societal assimilation of children in refuge. The project devised a survey instrument aimed at evaluating the baseline educational scenario in the participating nations and formulating education plans tailored to specific needs. This survey zeroes on four pivotal areas: linguistic proficiency, cross-cultural consciousness, embracing diversity, and pedagogical customization. Feedback from 31 students, 30 teachers and 28 parents revealed a pressing need for augmented linguistic aid in Slovenia, heightened cross-cultural understanding, and classroom method modification to enrich the academic experiences of culturally diverse children. The findings also underscore a discernible discrepancy between the perspectives of educators versus those of parents and children. The insights from this survey lay the groundwork for creating innovative instructional units and resources, finely adapted to the needs of children in refuge. By forging links between theoretical insights and practical application, as well as among various educational stakeholders, INTREF is ready to enrich the discourse and practices surrounding inclusivity, and endeavor made increasingly pertinent by the recent global disruptions, including the migratory dilemma and the COVID-19 outbreak.

10. Innovative professional learning communities and sustainable education practices through digital transformationMaja Vičič Krabonja, Simona Kustec, Vesna Skrbinjek, Boris Aberšek, Andrej Flogie, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Education is the most important part of sustainable society development. Traditional
approaches to permanent lifelong educator training often fail to produce lasting changes in teaching
practices (UN, Goal 4). This paper examines how educator involvement in a professional learning
community (PLC) ensures equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities
for all and a sustainable digital transformation of the teaching and learning process. Participation in
PLC and the use of contemporary learning environments positively impact the quality of educators’
work, thereby enhancing the overall educational process. This study utilised a quantitative methodology, employing both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse the data. Results indicate
that a balanced integration of formal PLC structures and guidance, combined with elements of a
non-formal, broader PLC and external incentives and support (such as projects), can surpass mere
exchanges of best practices, foster innovation, and support the sustainable digital transformation
of educators. This approach leads to a sustainable shift in pedagogical paradigms. The PLC_IP
model (focused on including digital technologies and effective teaching strategies) enhances collective
educator efficacy, contributing to improved teaching quality. For PLCs to achieve sustainability, they
must be dynamic entities that adapt to the evolving educational landscape, ensuring their continued
relevance and impact with rising completion rates over time. Our findings underscore the importance
of innovative PLCs in driving sustainable educational development and improvement and provide a
framework for future research and practical applications in educational settings. In addition, PLCs
can strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable
development (UN, Goal 17). Ključne besede: professional learning communities, ESD, training, sustainable changes, sustainable education, education practices, schools Objavljeno v DKUM: 27.11.2024; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 20
