工程教育工作者对生成式人工智能在高等教育中影响的看法

Engineering Educators' Perspectives on the Impact of Generative AI in Higher Education

Umama Dewan, Ashish Hingle, Nora McDonald, Aditya Johri

AI总结:

本研究调查了98名工程教育工作者对生成式AI的看法,发现多数人持积极态度,且与学生互动更多的教育工作者对GenAI贡献更乐观,同时更关注其潜在滥用,表明整合GenAI对促进师生互动至关重要。

摘要:

生成式人工智能(GenAI)的引入在高等教育机构中引发了多种反应,从惊慌和抵制到完全接受不一而足。已有研究关注了美国各大学以及教育工作者所采纳的话语和政策,以及高等教育中GenAI相关内容和主题的纳入情况。在先前研究的基础上,本研究报告了一项针对工程教育工作者关于其使用生成式人工智能及其看法的调查结果。具体而言,我们调查了98名来自工程、计算机科学和教育领域的教育工作者,他们参加了一个关于工程教育中GenAI的研讨会,以了解他们对在教学中使用这些工具的看法。我们询问了他们使用GenAI的情况和舒适度、他们对GenAI的总体看法、在教学中使用GenAI所面临的挑战和潜在危害,并考察了他们在课堂上使用和整合GenAI的方法是否影响了他们对GenAI的体验和认知。与其他GenAI教育研究一致,我们发现虽然大多数参与者对GenAI有一定了解,但报告的使用情况差异很大。我们发现教育工作者对GenAI的潜力大多抱有希望和积极的看法。我们还发现,那些在GenAI话题上与学生互动更多的教育工作者,往往对其对学习的贡献持更积极的态度,同时也更能意识到其潜在的滥用。这些发现表明,整合和参与生成式人工智能对于促进教师和学生围绕该技术进行富有成效的互动至关重要。

英文摘要:

The introduction of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has been met with a mix of reactions by higher education institutions, ranging from consternation and resistance to wholehearted acceptance. Previous work has looked at the discourse and policies adopted by universities across the U.S. as well as educators, along with the inclusion of GenAI-related content and topics in higher education. Building on previous research, this study reports findings from a survey of engineering educators on their use of and perspectives toward generative AI. Specifically, we surveyed 98 educators from engineering, computer science, and education who participated in a workshop on GenAI in Engineering Education to learn about their perspectives on using these tools for teaching and research. We asked them about their use of and comfort with GenAI, their overall perspectives on GenAI, the challenges and potential harms of using it for teaching, learning, and research, and examined whether their approach to using and integrating GenAI in their classroom influenced their experiences with GenAI and perceptions of it. Consistent with other research in GenAI education, we found that while the majority of participants were somewhat familiar with GenAI, reported use varied considerably. We found that educators harbored mostly hopeful and positive views about the potential of GenAI. We also found that those who engaged more with their students on the topic of GenAI, tend to be more positive about its contribution to learning, while also being more attuned to its potential abuses. These findings suggest that integrating and engaging with generative AI is essential to foster productive interactions between instructors and students around this technology.
