Big Idea

What’s the big problem with many science research assignments we give our students today? They can all be done with ChatGPT and AI. I have a colleague who ran into this problem with her science class and their space research project. Now, I still think research projects are useful – but, going forward, I’m going to do 3 things to AI proof my research projects. Watch the video for more details. The tasks are briefly summarized below.

Episode Notes

• Task 1: Write an argument using the information acquired from the research assignment. I can assess a student’s ability to write an argument through this task.

• Task 2: Solve a puzzle using the information acquired from the research assignment. I can assess a student’s ability to apply knowledge to other scenarios through this task.

• Task 3: Evaluate bias using the information acquired from the research project. I can assess a student’s ability to evaluate bias in secondary sources through this task.

Thanks for watching, and let’s talk science education again soon.
