Kasun is a growing number of higher education teachers who use generative models in their work.
One National Survey Of more than 1,800 members of the higher education personnel conducted by the consulting firm Tyton Partners earlier this year they found that about 40% of administrators and 30% of the instructions use the generative or weekly generative instructions, that is UP23.
New research From Anthrope, the company Beind the AI Chatbot Claude, suggests that teachers around the world are using AI for the development of the curriculum, designing lessons, conducting research, written in subsidies prododes, budget management, jobs and mosquito design. Uses
“When we analyzed the data at the end of last year, we saw that in all ways in which people used Claude, education constituted two of the first four cases of use,” says Drew, leader of education in Anthrope and one of the researchers who directed the study.
That includes both students and teachers. Bent says that these findings inspired a report on How university students use the chatbot ai And the most recent research on the use of Claude’s teacher.
How teachers are using AI
The Anthrope report is based on approximately 74,000 conversations that users with higher education email addresses had with Claude around a period of 11 days at the end of May and early June this year. The company used an automated tool to analyze conversations.
The majority, or 57% of the analyzed conversations, related to the development of the curriculum, such as the design of lessons and tasks plans. Bent says that one of the most surprising findings was that teachers use Claude to develop interactive simulations for students, such as web -based games.
“You are helping to write the code so you can have an interactive simulation that you as an educator can share with your class students to help understand a concept,” he says.
The second way in which the most common teachers used Claude was for academic research: this included 13% of the conversations. The educators also used the Chatbot AI to complete administrative tasks, including budget plans, the drafting of recommendation letters and the creation of meetings agendas.
His analysis suggests that teachers tend to more tedious and routine automatic works, including financial and administrative tasks.
“But for other areas such as the teaching and design of lessons, it was much more a collaboration process, where educators and the assistant of AI come and come and collaborate on it,” says IS.
The data comes with warnings: anthropic Posted your findings But he did not release the complete data behind them, including how many teachers were in the analysis.
And the investigation captured a snapshot over time; The period studied covered the end of the academic year. If they had analyzed a period of 11 days in October, says Bent, for example, the results could have been different.
Qualification of students’ work with AI
About 7% of the anthropic analyzed conversations were about qualifying the students’ work.
“When educators use AI for the qualification, they or automatic much of it, and they have a significant parts of the qualification,” says Bent.
The company associated with the Northeastern University in this research, surveying 22 members of the Faculty on how and why they use Claude. In his responses to the survey, the University Faculty said that the work of the qualification students was the task in which the chatbot was less effective.
It is not clear if any of the evaluations that Claude really produced in the degrees and comments that the students received.
Neverberness, Marc Watkins, professor and researcher at Mississippi University, fears that Anthrope’s findings indicate a disturbing trend. Watkins studies the impact of AI on higher education.
“This type of nightmare scenario that we could be executing are students who use AI to write documents and teachers who use AI to qualify the same documents. If that is the case, what is the purpose of education?”
Watkins says that he is also alarmed by the use of AI so that he says, devalue the teacher-student relationships.
“If you are only using this for an automatic part of your life, either writing emails to students, letters of recommendation, qualification or providing comments, I am really against that, he says.
Teachers and faculty need guidance
Kasun, the professor of the state of Georgia, also does not believe that teachers should use AI for classification.
She wants schools and universities to have more support and guidance on the best way to use this new technology.
“We are here, something alone in the forest, defending ourselves,” says Kasun.
Drew Bent, with anthropic, says Companies like your partner should With higher education institutions. He warns: “We, as a technology company, telling educators what to do or not do is not the right way.”
But educators and those who work in AI, such as Bent, agree that decisions now made on how to incorporate AI in university and university courses will affect students in the coming years.
