Teachers face a new concern, the use of artificial intelligence to generate university works. This phenomenon is transforming teaching and evaluationand many teachers feel that their efforts to foster critical thinking and genuine writing are being undermined by tools such as Chatgpt and Google Gemini.
Students can obtain trials in seconds, without real effort on their part. The AI has changed the educational panorama, but raises great challenges about the true value of learning.
«As I move forward, I realize that I dedicate more time, energy and resources to address this problem. Before I taught, now I’m just looking to detect chatgpt tricks«, explains the professor of Philosophy, Troy Jollimore, in an article published in The Walrus.
«The magic bag» that is chatgpt in the university’s work
In a context where teachers trusted essays written by the students themselves to evaluate their understanding, AI has altered this dynamic.
«A new type of magic bag has reached the real world. For some years, I have taught philosophy, at a University of California, […] And my main evaluation method has been the student’s essay. But The tools of AI like chatgpt and gemini allow obtaining trials with little more effort than is needed to snap fingers«, indica Jollimore.
Computer today
Many teachers are forced to detect writing patterns that could indicate the use of chatbots. As the teacher explains, the works generated by AI tend to be «methodical and repetitive», lacking the depth and personal style that a student would normally provide committed to the subject.
However, Students often find ways to deceive detection systemswhich leaves educators in a constant struggle to identify the trick.
The speed with which the AI generates content can cause some students to feel tempted to take advantage of it, especially when they face the pressure of delivering jobs on time. Despite the academic policies that prohibit their use, many students feel comfortable using these tools, claiming that they are expected to use in the labor market.
«They are also, and above all, students who look at you baffled. The use of AI already seems so natural to many of them, so inevitable And an accepted characteristic of the educational panorama, which any prohibition seems absurd, «says Jollimore.
This mentality has led teachers to question whether the purpose of education is to teach to think independently or simply prepare students for a professional life where AI has an important role.
This not only harms individual learning, but It also reduces the value of qualifications and university titles.
Teachers face new challenges with the use of chatgpt
The dilemma is clear, how to guarantee that students are really learning? Test -based evaluations no longer offer the security that a student has acquired the necessary knowledge.
As Troy Jolllimore explains: «The most important thing is that the student improves. After all, I don’t really need the trials. I don’t miss things to read. Essays are a means to achieve an end, which is the author’s transformation into a cultured person. This type of writing task is simply the best instrument available to achieve this desirable purpose «
Although some teachers choose to modify their teaching methods, such as performing exams written in class, not everyone agrees with this measure. Real -time writing presents their own challenges, and many argue that it only favors certain students.
The challenge faced by teachers is not limited to finding ways to detect the use of AIbut also to redefine teaching in a world where technology is already present in almost all aspects of daily life.
