School burnout in Finland and China project
The project aims to create an innovative solution to alleviate school burnout by bringing new technology (e.g., artificial intelligence-based assessments and interventions), and multiple disciplines and perspectives (e.g., psychology, education, AI, design science, behavioral change). Through this novel joint initiative, we can also prevent the inequality of school burnout among gender, social-economic status, and regions.
