Some IA-trained professors already use ChatGPT in class.

The Canopé Network, which is the operator of the ministry for the training of teachers, as well as rectorates such as that of Versailles, are organizing seminars and workshops on AI for teachers. Many teachers are already exploring the possibilities of AI themselves.

 

The General Manager of the Canopé Network argues that ChatGPT is developing at high speed in the public, and teachers need to be equipped with the necessary skills to use it effectively. The arrival of AI forces us to develop 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. It is essential for teachers to understand the potential of AI and how it can be integrated into their teaching to prepare students for the future.

 

Franck Bodin, director of the Atelier Canopé du 93 (Seine-Saint-Denis), which leads workshops on AI, emphasizes that AI is not going to replace teachers, and the need for human mediation remains necessary. However, AI can be a useful assistant that can help teachers save time in creating content for their courses and be a source of inspiration. It is essential to show teachers the potential of AI and how it can be integrated into their teaching to enhance their work and improve student learning outcomes.

 

Some establishments, like Sciences Po, have banned ChatGPT for fear of cheating. However, it is important to note that the use of AI in education should be guided by ethical principles and used responsibly to ensure that it does not compromise academic integrity.

 

The uses of ChatGPT in education are still in their infancy, but they seem innumerable. Teachers are already using ChatGPT to write dictations specifically on certain points of grammar. AI is also effective in generating lexical fields, developing multiple-choice questions from a course, summarizing complex texts, proposing corrections, and adjusting language levels to help students distinguish them. ChatGPT can even reformulate instructions so that everyone can understand them.

 

These applications of AI in education can help teachers save time and improve the quality of their teaching. However, it is important to use AI responsibly and ensure that it does not compromise academic integrity. Teachers should also be trained to use AI effectively and integrate it into their teaching in a way that enhances student learning outcomes.

 

Yes, teachers have found various uses for ChatGPT and other AI tools in education. They have used ChatGPT to generate criteria grids and evaluations, with the teacher's feedback behind it, or to help them vary their comments in school report cards. Image-generating AIs can be used to create blueprints, actualize a concept in real time, create virtual objects for geometry classes, and even picture the classroom of the future.

 

These applications of AI in education can help teachers save time and improve the quality of their teaching. However, it is important to use AI responsibly and ensure that it does not compromise academic integrity. Teachers should also be trained to use AI effectively and integrate it into their teaching in a way that enhances student learning outcomes.

Another option is to teach students how to identify AI production.. For example, students can be taught to distinguish between the original text and the imitation when faced with a text "in the manner of". This can help students develop critical thinking skills and become more aware of the role of AI in their lives.

 

Overall, the use of AI in education has the potential to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. However, it is important to use AI responsibly and ensure that it does not compromise academic integrity. Teachers should also be trained to use AI effectively and integrate it into their teaching in a way that enhances student learning outcomes.

 

Marie-Caroline Missir emphasizes the need to discover educational opportunities with AI without limiting ourselves to an approach solely focused on risk. Teachers can offer students the opportunity to use AI by framing its use and ensuring that regulations on personal data are respected.

 

Joanna Marques, a mediator of Canopé, believes that the digital divide will not be between those who have access to AI and those who do not, but between those who know how to use it effectively and interpret the results and those who do not. She also notes that AI opens the door to creativity for both teachers and students.

 

The "digital strategy for education 2023-2027" proposed by the ministry in January intends to teach all pupils how digital technologies, including AI, work and to make them aware of the lack of dependability of the outcomes. It is critical to teach students about the appropriate use of AI and to guarantee that they have the abilities to use it effectively.
