Switch up teaching and assessment to help teachers combat chatbot-cheating, say researchers

by University of South Australia

It's the chatbot technology that can write an essay in a second, but despite its vast capabilities, generative AI is creating headaches for education, particularly when it comes to student integrity and cheating.

Now, new research from the University of South Australia, shows that teachers can combat AI by adopting a transformative approach to teaching and assessments: Design Thinking.

Design Thinking is a human-centric and curiosity-driven methodology that can be easily adapted to the classroom. It builds student creativity, critical thinking , and collaboration—skills that cannot easily be replicated by AI—while concurrently enabling teachers to monitor and assess student learning in a formative manner.

Lead researcher and UniSA Ph.D. candidate Maria Vieira, says by adopting a Design Thinking approach, teachers can address integrity issues posed by generative AI.

"Teachers at all levels of education are challenged by the dilemmas presented by generative AI, with one of the biggest issues being academic honesty and authenticity," Vieira says.

"Chatbots like ChatGPT, Meta AI or Microsoft Copilot are a great temptation for students, particularly when an essay can be produced with just a single click. We know that new technologies are not going away, so as teachers, we need to find ways to promote and assess authentic learning.

"Design Thinking requires students to work through several phases of learning: empathy, definition, ideation, prototyping, testing and evaluation, with each step requiring a specific outcome, an opportunity for feedback, and importantly, a touchpoint for prompt feedback and formative assessment.

"Unlike traditional classroom settings where there is often a 'right' answer, Design Thinking addresses problems without predetermined solutions, challenging students to think more critically and creatively.

"The beauty of Design Thinking is that it allows teachers to assess student progress at any point of the process, and at either individual or group level, which immediately presents a solution to integrity issues posed by generative AI."

Design Thinking can lead to a multitude of different creative outputs, including prototypes, mind maps, and presentations, and enables assessment both at individual level (through evidence of research or self-reflection pieces) and group levels (based on output produced).

As the phases occur in an iterative loop, students can revisit and review their work, which encourages continuous improvement, and helps them learn how to provide and receive constructive peer feedback.

"During the Design Thinking process, students have the opportunity to navigate ambiguity, develop empathy, recognize failure as part of the learning process , and collaborate—all skills that are essential for the 21st century," Vieira says.

"This teaching method encourages students to take greater ownership of their learning, allowing teachers to shift their focus from delivering content, to observing and supporting their students in the classroom, being more attentive to their development and learning process.

"While Design Thinking may not be the only solution for the future of education, it is undoubtedly a successful strategy that can be readily adopted across K-12 education systems to address some of the most pressing challenges associated with AI and global digitalization."

To learn more about Design Thinking, teachers can access a free online course presented by Maria Vieira and offered through the Education Futures Academy.

Generally the science EEs get graded really low, so if you care about your grade switch to English or History. If you don't care about the grade, and want to stick with physics you ought to change your topic. The topic needs to be very specific. Focus on something specific with aerodynamics, such as "Laminar Flow and Linearity in Aeroplanes." You could build a wing and show the conditions when you lose laminar flow, and what happens when nonlinearity enters the system. I don't think you would have to know where the math comes from, but you would still have to present it.

Well I read the IB EE Guidelines and I realized that aerodynamics and hydrodynamics are discouraged. So I decided to do focus my EE around this topic "The relation between the temperature and conductivity in insulators and conductors" This way I can include an experiment that I can perform, as aerodynamics is almost impossible to experiment with. I approached my physics teacher, and he asked me to think exactly how the experiment will be done, and only then will he sign on as my mentor. Dear Mindscrape: Why are sciences marked low? I used to always think subjective topics got marked low, because there is always information to write, and it is merely a task of condensing the information and/or using that condensed information to prove an argument. Dear Berkeman: It is somewhat similar to AP in the U.S, restricted to the 11th and 12th grade. It is basically an advanced set of courses that are supposedly recognized worldwide. Building anything for aerodynamics was my first idea, but I realized it is going to become hard to implement

I think that a lot of people don't do an experiment with their topic, so they end up simply restating a popular science subject. I think that if you do an experiment you will be okay. From my days as an IB student we were always encouraged to make our topics as specific as possible. For example, my extended essay topic was "The Impact of the Salt Commodity on Religious Revolutions Throughout History." I basically had two main sources, and had to really struggle to piece together other sources. I think that is the goal of the program, so that later on when you are trying to write on some specific research later, for example "Beat-note and Doppler Free Spectroscopy Laser Locking," that you will be used to the lack of sources. So, having all that said you should refine your topic idea to something specific. You could talk about the thermal conductivity of kovar or novar, which are special metals designed to thermally match pyrex, though you wouldn't want to because the metals are expensive. Regardless, you have to focus on something.

Conductivity provides an interesting topic, where you can really dig deep into the quantum mechanics to get 4000 words packed with information, though I can't think of any experiment you can easily do except the lame one on drawing graphs and finding out temperature coefficients. Another interesting topic you can tackle is the dependence of conductivity on particle size. As particle size approaches the nano level, instead of the continuous band structure of macro-scale solids, we get slightly discontinuous structures where the continuous approximation fails and some resemblance to the atomic large energy level gaps is present. This leads to really interesting optical properties, and presumably affects the conductivity too. It's a very new topic so if you tackle it well you may not need an experiment. You seem to be in a program at least as advanced as IIT JEE so the QM math should be no problem for you. Combine a general text on solid state physics with some cutting edge research papers from the net and perhaps some elementary speculations you can make, and you should be ready to go. You can also tackle the very similar topic of how the Tyndall effect is not what it seemed (basically the same explanations), or maybe the mechanism of metal-acid reduction (why nascent hydrogen is a truckload of bull****). Incidentally, if you are not afraid of chemistry then reaction mechanism is a field where a very brilliant and well-read beginner with only intelligence and imagination (and a reasonably good lab) as his weapons can do some truly original and exciting work that may not turn out to be merely "the transfer of bones from one graveyard to another". Just a few suggestions, let me know what you think. Molu

Good Extended Essay Idea

Would this be a good idea for a question in an extended essay in CS or a World Studies in CS and Maths?

Out of Merge Sort and Quicksort, which algorithm performs better on sorting random integer arrays, depending on the standard deviation of the integers generated?

My supervisor said that they thought this idea had been done before and wanted me to go with another option, but it's the only idea I have where I think I'd know clearly to do to research it.

What do people think? Does the IB actually penalise students who do questions or topics which have been done a lot before, obviously assuming they didn't plagarise?
