How to use ChatGPT as a tool to spur students’ inner feedback and thus aid their learning and skills development
Excerpt:
Use ChatGPT to spur student’s inner feedback
One way that ChatGPT answers can be used in class is by asking students to compare what they have written with a ChatGPT answer. This draws on David Nicol’s work on making inner feedback explicit and using comparative judgement. His work demonstrates that in writing down answers to comparative questions students can produce high-quality feedback for themselves which is instant and actionable. Applying this to a ChatGPT answer, the following questions could be used:
- Which is better, the ChatGPT response or yours? Why?
- What two points can you learn from the ChatGPT response that will help you improve your work?
- What can you add from your answer to improve the ChatGPT answer?
- How could the assignment question set be improved to allow the student to demonstrate higher-order skills such as critical thinking?
- How can you use what you have learned to stay ahead of AI and produce higher-quality work than ChatGPT?
