Worried about ChatGPT and cheating? Here are 4 things teachers should know

Worried about ChatGPT and cheating? Here are 4 things teachers should know | T.I.P.S. Tracking - I-Wheel - "UC File" | Scoop.it
Some schools have already banned ChatGPT for students. At the same time, some educators are exploring ways to harness the tool for learning. To help educators understand how artificial intelligence might fit into a classroom environment, Schneider, who is now the director of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), an independent research arm of the U.S. Department of Education, compares it to the invention of the calculator. “For years there was a question about whether or not students should have calculators when they do a math assessment,” he said. “And this happens all over the place: Some new technology comes [and] it’s overwhelming.” 

Eventually educators decided to permit calculators and make test questions more complex instead of constantly having to monitor students’ behavior. Similarly, with ChatGPT, Schneider urges educators to ask themselves, “What do you need to do with this incredibly powerful tool so that it is used in the furtherance of education rather than as a cheat sheet?” In a conversation with MindShift, he addressed teachers’ ChatGPT worries and offered insights on how to ensure students continue to have meaningful learning experiences.

The late Brazilian car-racing champion Ayrton Senna once said, “You cannot overtake 15 cars in sunny weather, but you can when it’s raining.” Well, there’s been no shortage of downpours in recent years. We’re living in a world where new shocks—the war in Ukraine, the return of inflation—have been layered onto earlier shocks—a deadly global pandemic, supply chain disruptions—that in turn were layered onto, and dramatically accelerated, long-standing trends such as digitization and sustainability.

Upshift: How to Turn Pressure into Performance and Crisis into Creativity

Upshift: How to Turn Pressure into Performance and Crisis into Creativity | T.I.P.S. Tracking - I-Wheel - "UC File" | Scoop.it
What we’re looking for here is divergent thinking—the ability to explore multiple possible solutions in order to generate creative ideas. This is opposed to convergent thinking, which is the process of figuring out the most effective answer to a problem.
Divergent thinking is more likely “when we appraise a situation as a challenge. Being in a challenge state means we are more willing to explore possibilities.”
James Schreier's insight:

Understanding divergent and convergent thinking is a key to strategic exploration -- this puts it into a good context with the element of stress!

Macroeconomic scenarios and outcomes in 2023

With geopolitical tensions high, key supply–demand imbalances unresolved, and interest rates on an upward march, business leaders may be contemplating whether comparisons to the 1970s are appropriate or if the path forward will resemble more familiar business cycles. The big-picture question for leaders is: Will their companies ever return to a prepandemic-like world of 2 × 2 uncertainties, or has there been a permanent reset to a 3 × 3 world, where uncertainties are multiplied (Exhibit 1)?
