Not surprising Teachers have an unstable relationship with generative artificial intelligence. They fear the impact of plagiarism, machine-generated articles and “hallucinations” – where the system confidently asserts that something is true, not just because it doesn’t know any better – from tools like ChatGPT and Bard. There is a clear concern that generative AI will become a… substitute For real learning: something that will help a person pass the test without having to absorb and absorb the material.
While there is no doubt that AI has been used to circumvent the learning process, ChatGPT has already taken on the role of personalized personal tutor for millions, changing learning consumption patterns and to improve Our relationship with education. The possibility of an AI-powered teaching assistant – an assistant who guides, encourages and guides learners through the material in a one-on-one relationship – is within reach. And the scalability of AI means that anyone It can be used.
AI can already do that, and for many he have Making — learning addictive. The reasons have nothing to do with cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence and computer science, but rather with the fundamentals of what keeps a learner engaged, motivated, and motivated.
Growing up in Armenia, I was fascinated by the highly competitive Maths Olympiad, and my desire to win drove me to spend hours studying and practicing. However, as an adult, I was unable to find the same motivation while studying mathematics at MIT. I’ve spent a large part of my life researching and understanding the motivations behind learning, some of which I’ve summarized in this article, many of which led to the founding of CodeSignal.
What do we mean by addiction?
Education has always been about the human element, and it is difficult to imagine a world where machines can replace that.
When I talk about AI making learning addictive, I’m talking about feeling excited and excited – and instilling an insatiable appetite for self-improvement and growth within the learner. But most importantly, it continues long after they have accomplished what started their journey. Basically, this boils down to sustainable, long-term motivation. Creating self-motivated learners is a challenge faced by most teachers, and a large body of educational research addresses this topic.
It is difficult to overstate the importance of motivation. Whether you’re learning to speak a new language or taking the first steps toward a programming career, learning is inherently iterative, with the learner gradually building confidence and fluency over time. Prolific programming guru Zed Shaw Describe this once Like “climbing the mountain of ignorance.” Those first few months – when you… it’s not Confident and does not understand the subject – this is the most difficult, and it is very easy to give up. This is why you need an external force to encourage the learner to continue. Confidence, ability and perhaps greatness are just around the corner.
