When the Internet came to the world, the education sector trembled with fear. Access to a portable universal encyclopedia was a risk to the methodology being applied, but over time, many (not all) institutions have grown accustomed to treating the web as a friend, not something to be avoided at all. moment.
With ChatGPT and the like, something similar will happen. The educational world is thinking about how students can be evaluated with such a tool in their hands, because, do not doubt it, soon they will even have it integrated into calculators.
Overall, it’s important to assess not only the amount of information students can get from ChatGPT, but also their ability to use that information effectively and meaningfully, so I’m going to do a brain storming exercise to see how we can change the way of evaluating, for example, the subject of history (another day I will do examples with other subjects):
– Critical analysis: We will be able to ask students questions about historical events and assess their ability to analyze and contextualize them.
– Problem solving: We will be able to present complex historical situations and assess how students use the information they get from ChatGPT to solve problems or answer questions. Current situation in Jerusalem, for example, to see what questions students would ask to get the right information to analyze the situation.
– Creativity: We may ask students to use the information in ChatGPT to create creative projects, such as slide shows or essays, and test their ability to combine the information with their own knowledge and perspective.
– historical understanding: We will be able to ask questions about historical events and test your understanding of them, including their relationship to other events and how they have influenced the world today.
It is necessary to teach to ask questions, to ask the right questions, because with the formulation of the questions it will be possible to analyze whether or not a concept has been understood.
