Can Apprenticeships Rebuild the Learning Curve that AI Is Flattening?

Can Apprenticeships Rebuild the Learning Curve that AI Is Flattening? | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
The old learning curve is being broken by machines—and apprenticeship could be a central strategy to deliberately rebuild it. That’s what National Apprenticeship Week should be about.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Artificial intelligence is automating many entry-level tasks that once allowed novice workers to learn. The lower rungs of the career ladder, where people made mistakes, developed judgment, and built confidence, are weakening."

Students prefer personalized, AI-generated educational videos over non-personalized, human-recorded videos | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

Personalization is a well-established driver of student engagement, yet delivering individualized instruction at scale remains a challenge in online education. 

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Across analyses, students preferred personalized over non-personalized content, and human-recorded over AI-generated content. The magnitude of the personalization effect substantially exceeded the effect of human presence."

(PDF) Pedagogical Influence of AI-Chatbots on Learning Outcomes: A Systematic Review

(PDF) Pedagogical Influence of AI-Chatbots on Learning Outcomes: A Systematic Review | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"In recent years, significant developments have occurred in AI-based chatbots that have been effectively deployed in the educational field. However, given the novelty of this technology, descriptive analyses remain scarce. Although many review studies have focused on the effectiveness of chatbots, they generally present broad results, and only a few have addressed the impact of this technology on learning outcomes."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"AI-chatbot technology has a positive influence on several learning outcomes, including academic achievement, motivation, self-assessment, engagement in learning, self-efficacy, and language learning, among others."

Why Are Students Opening Up to AI Instead of People?

Why Are Students Opening Up to AI Instead of People? | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
In this week’s Voices of Student Success episode, The Rithm Project’s Alison Lee explores whether AI is filling critical gaps in student support—or deepening isolation on college campuses. As institutions nationwide struggle to meet growing mental health needs, more students are turning to AI for comfort, connection and advice. Now, colleges and universities are being forced to confront a once-unthinkable question: What happens when students begin opening up to AI chatbots instead of people?
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"[W]hen we asked about what we call the gateway moment—the moment they started talking to AI about emotional or relational support—every single time it was about an acute moment of need."

'A' grades are suddenly everywhere since the arrival of ChatGPT

"The share of A’s in college classes heavy on writing and coding—in other words, work more prone to artificial-intelligence use—has grown more significantly than in other classes since ChatGPT’s debut, according to a paper from the University of California, Berkeley, released Wednesday. Professors teaching AI-exposed classes gave out about 30% more A’s and fewer A-minus and B plus grades. The results suggest that students have relied on generative AI to do better in their studies, not that these classes of students are learning more, says Igor Chirikov, a senior researcher at Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and the author.

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"AI is making “A” grades easier to come by, a new study shows—and making them less useful to employers trying to size up college graduates."
