Do Artificial Intelligence Help Students to Learn More or Less? Case Study with My Students/Teachers at SEEU
摘要
Artificial intelligence has become topic number one in recent times, and the development of technology is no less talked in Macedonia, especially in academic circles, like universities, secondary schools, and other educational institutions. So, like for many countries and places, the development of artificial intelligence releases up new options for students of Southeast European University too. For some this is terrible, and for others it is normal and necessary. However, to find out exactly what students think about artificial intelligence and if it helps them to learn more or less, we asked students themselves. We asked young people for their opinion on how the development of technology will affect them, and also from some experts, IT teachers—how to get the most out of it. Both students and teachers happily responded and took part in this case study. Therefore, in this paper, I’ll highlight and present their comments regarding ChatGPT. The focus of the paper is to measure the popularity of ChatGPT among students and their views on its use during their academic engagements. Generally, students’ opinions varied widely, some found it useful for generating ideas and getting information, and some expressed concerns about the accuracy of information and potential biases in responses. However, it is worth noting that opinions can change over time and students’ experiences may differ. So, in this paper we will specifically present students’ perspectives on artificial intelligence in our educational settings. The most recent and specific feedback from students and some teachers will be explored in order to come up with some real time perspectives in the use of ChatGPT in our teaching at SEEU. Students’ general trends will be observed and discussed with them on the use of artificial intelligence for the benefit of their own learning. As a main objective of this stands the idea if artificial intelligence can help students learn more or less.
