Kwadwo Boakye In my view, face-to-face teaching/learning that smoothly flows elliptically from the students to the teacher, then back to the student and so on, is the most effective and enjoyable method of teaching that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence. Voice of experience as a professional educator to all levels of learning/teaching across disciplines. On the other hand, you can utilize both, AI and F2F, as in blended learning/teaching implementation in higher education.
AI can be incredibly beneficial for students when used appropriately. It can provide personalized learning experiences, access to vast amounts of information, and tools for collaboration and problem-solving. However, like any tool, its impact depends on how it's used. If students rely solely on AI for answers without critical thinking or understanding, it could potentially lead to laziness academically. The key is to integrate AI into education in a way that encourages active engagement, critical thinking, and creativity, empowering students to use AI as a tool to enhance their learning and academic achievements.
That depends on how it is used. A student who relies on AI to do everything for him or her will definitely be a bad student. However, a student who uses AI as an assist, does the diligence of studying will be a great student.
AI would not be bad for the students who are not having a correct sense about their learning. The problem with AI is that it minimizes student involvement in learning and encouraged passivity of learning, so that AI should be used appropriately in learning and students must be guided and supervised well. Anyhow AI would not be better for deep learning and development of logical thinking.
I think from experience at teaching at all levels of education, that lazy students will still be lazy, AI or not. The hardworking students, especially in higher education, have found AI a great tool to enhancing achievements in their studies. So, AI is already there for use by all including students and you don't have to so-to-say introduce it in schools. What needs to be done by teachers/educators is guide students to its proper use as a supplementary academic tool, emphasising on the sanctions for plagiarism as well as the benefits of originality through critical/logical thinking/analysis of the vast information provided by AI. Thanks.
