ChatGPT in Education

February 20, 2023

ChatGPT is the talk of the decade, shaping how we can simplify communication. It will explore the internet and piece together a human-like response to any question. Now, schools are monitoring plagiarism coming from the use of ChatGPT, particularly for essays. Schools and teachers are in conversation about whether or not this tool should be used at school. Some believe it should be prohibited by students to prevent academic dishonesty. Whereas, others believe that it should be embraced to help students to become critical thinkers and understand the biases presented within the content ChatGPT creates. All this and more in today's episode ChatGPT in Education.

Why be marked by a teacher when you can be critical thinkers yourself?

When you are scrolling through TikTok or Instagram and you are faced with content that you aren’t interested in, you continue scrolling until you find content that captures your interest. Therefore, the algorithm begins to adjust, gathering information to cater content to your preferences. From the moment you enter you share your gender and geographic location and the app begins to send relevant videos. This is all based on the algorithm that matches with people who entered similar personal information. Furthermore, it does begin to ask the question - are algorithms a reflection of the population or is the population a reflection of the algorithms?

ChatGPT is the talk of the decade

This question becomes increasingly more important as we begin to learn more about artificial intelligence and the impact it has on youth. ChatGPT is shaping how we can simplify communication. It is a software that will explore the internet. It will piece together information to produce a human-like response to any question. Therefore, schools are afraid of how to monitor plagiarism. Especially coming from the use of ChatGPT for the purpose of writing essays. Currently, schools and teachers are in conversation about whether or not this tool should be used at school. Some believe it should be prohibited by students to prevent academic dishonesty. Whereas, others believe that it should be embraced to help students to become critical thinkers. Also, help understand the biases presented within the content ChatGPT creates.

We consume content daily

Whether it be the news, social media or information exchanged in a casual conversation at lunch, we are faced with so much information everyday. Through constant use students will understand to be conscious consumers of content. Also,  student will learn how it influences their perspective of the world. Furthermore, students need to be taught how to question the information they are digesting. Ultimately, this helps to promote a healthy intake of content as AI continues to be integrated into our daily lives.
