Generative artificial intelligence has unsettled higher education, raising fears that students will lose the ability to think. Drawing on classroom experience and student feedback, we argue that grounded inquiry sharpens judgement in Earth science teaching by limiting AI to set sources and auditing its claims.

"The debate about AI and human cognition has followed predictable patterns since February of 2025 when the MIT paper dropped. A study appears showing that students who lean on AI show weaker neural engagement, and the headlines declare that ChatGPT is making us dumber. A counter-study appears showing that strategic AI delegation produces deeper learning, and the response is that the doomers were wrong all along. But how do different definitions of learning shape studies and the interpretation of data?"

"Missouri. Utah. LA Unified School District. Bend-La Pine Schools. Medford School District. What do all of these states and school districts have in common? They’re all taking steps to restrict the use of technology and screens in their classrooms, after years of schools increasing their use of laptops."

Two years ago, Josephine Timperman arrived at college with a plan. She declared a major in business analytics, figuring she’d learn niche skills that would stand out on a resume and help land a good job after college.
But the rise of artificial intelligence has scrambled those calculations. The basic skills she was learning in things like statistical analysis and coding can now easily be automated. “Everyone has a fear that entry-level jobs will be taken by AI,” said the 20-year-old at Miami University in Ohio."

"As the push to curb screen time and ed tech in schools gains momentum, district leaders need to be alert and proactive in communicating about the issue with their communities, said Barbara Hunter, executive director of the National School Public Relations Association. With the spotlight on ed tech, Hunter said, now is an opportune moment for districts to show how technology is benefiting students in the classroom. But that requires strategic communication, she added."

"Schools that required students to keep their cellphones in lockable pouches during the school day saw an uptick in suspension rates and a decrease in student well-being in the first year the cellphone policies were implemented. However, those negative effects dissipate in subsequent years, according to new research from the National Bureau of Economic Research."

"We have spent decades cataloguing the ways the human mind trips itself up. Confirmation bias. The Dunning-Kruger effect. Anchoring. The list currently stands at over 180 documented cognitive biases, each a small, predictable glitch in our otherwise remarkable thinking apparatus. Most were identified long before a large language model could hold a conversation, draft a legal brief, or talk someone through a difficult evening."

"As AI tools become ubiquitous, the “human” competitive advantage shifts to metacognition and critical inquiry. In this issue, we dive into why “thinking about our thinking” is the ultimate learning power-up and test whether AI can actually handle high-stakes academic writing. You will find frameworks for a “slow drip” of personal insights, a five-minute strategy for mastering new tools, and a refresher on the SIFT method to keep your digital literacy sharp."

"Artificial intelligence has rapidly shifted the instructional landscape. Tools that can generate explanations, draft essays, and summarize complex topics are now readily available to students. This accessibility has led some to question whether deep instructor content knowledge still holds the same importance. The answer is an unequivocal yes."

"When ChatGPT was launched in November 2022, some universities decided to quickly ban students from using it, not least because they feared that GenAI would kill assessment integrity. Bans like these are now rare, but some universities still ask students to fill in disclosure statements about their GenAI use, and emphasize that some assessment tasks – for instance, asking a GenAI tool to write your BA thesis – are strictly prohibited. Other university administrations suggest that teachers should schedule oral examination moments to check if suspicions about some students’ impermissible GenAI use are true."

Fast forward to May and now there’s a new buzzy trend that’s ready to take off: “proactive” AI (i.e., AI agents that go to work without even being asked)."

"When implementing artificial intelligence tools in schools, educators should take a human-centered approach, remaining mindful of “elements that technology can’t replace but can erode or strengthen depending on how it’s used,” says Maddy Sims, a senior fellow at the Center on Reinventing Public Education. Introducing AI without a strategy can create an “efficiency paradox” where legacy school models become more affordable and efficient but aren’t responsive enough to student needs, according to a whitepaper co-written by Sims."

"When students and educators think of asynchronous courses, they envision something akin to a correspondence course, lacking an available professor with disengaged students struggling to understand assignments in isolation, all within a disconnected learning environment. This type of course structure has the potential to leave students with high levels of stress and anxiety, feelings of apathy, and an overabundance of reading materials, without the requisite expertise to guide them through the learning process. However, in a high-functioning, engaging, and rigorous asynchronous learning environment, the instructor’s presence and engagement with students is not only prevalent, but they can create a learning experience which students enjoy and want replicated."

Whether students vote with a ballot or with their feet, the outcome of the vote sometimes has unintended consequences. Voting offers limited information, and that’s true whether voting with your ballot or with your feet. When you chose Smith over Jones, was it because of a policy position, a party identity, personal familiarity, or because you liked their name better? And if it was based on a policy position—most votes aren’t, at least directly—did you understand the nuances behind the policy?

"Artificial intelligence is rapidly progressing and poised to reshape the workforce in the near future. The higher education sector is in a unique position, as both an employer of millions of workers and a system that prepares students for the labor force. At the annual ASU+GSV Summit last week, four college leaders talked to Higher Ed Dive to weigh in on two questions: What about AI’s use in higher education are you most excited for? And what has you most concerned?"
