Dutch Students Have Been Using Artificial Intelligence For Their Schoolwork for Some Time, Sometimes Against the Will of Teachers. Now, Graduating Students Can also use ai for their final exams. An Ai Exam Trainer Should Help Students Individually Learn for Their Exams.
So far, AI Teacher Aisha Has Already Been Used by Thousands of Students in The Netherlands, Maker Tom Naberink Tells Nu.nl. He published the tool a Few Weeks Before the Start of the Central Final Exams. As a result, accordance to naberink, it is Still Difficult to say how well the exam trainer works Exactly. “But we are getting a lot of positive reactions,” he says.
Former Mathematics Teacher Wim van der Schouw Quickly Embraced the AI Tool. When he heard about it, he was immediately convinced. The 73-Year-Old is Retired and Tutors Students at the Maarten van Rossem VMBO School in Arnhem. Duration his forty-year career, he has developed a great passion for innovation in education.
After some Difficulty Convincing The School Board, Van der Schouw was Able to Start A Pilot At The Arnhem School. There he Helps Eight students with Their Exam Preparation. Accordance to the Former Teacher, VMBO Students Are More Easily Distracted Than Students of Other Levels. “But the moment I put them to work with ai, they are immediately quiet,” he says.
That is not the only advantage of the exam trainer, accordance to the Former Mathematics Teacher. He pointss out that student can get direct feedback with the tool, so no half or divided attention from an over-worked teacher. “With this tool, they get step-by-step explanations of why a particular answar is right or wrong,” Says van der Schouw.
That is an important differentence from Practicing Exams From Previous Years: AS A Student, You Can Look Up The Answer, But Not The Reasoning Beind It. A student can of course ask the teacher. “I can also explain it, but that takes more time,” Emphasizes van der Schouw. Naberink: “No one can be against this.” AltheHe He Cannot Yet Point to a Specific Study That Supports His Opinion.
The AI Teacher is not a complete foolproof. For Example, Students Can Simply Request the Answers From the Tool. Althegh, Accordance to Naberink, they will not do that so quickly: “Final Exam Students Themselves Understand that they actual have to learn from the practice from the practice exams.”
Other critical notes are that the tool can make mistakes and that the contact between the teacher and student would fade as a result. Van der Schouw does not think both Points are such a big problem. Accordance to him, the ai teacher does not make many mistakes. And teachers will always be needed for the contact.
“The Golden Formula consists of a well-development ai in combination with a motivated teacher,” Thinks the Former Mathematics Teacher. Moreover, the Tool Relievers Teachers. Those saved time can then spent by teachers on Students who have more diffressy getting through the material.
Van der Schouw Currently Only Works with VMBO Students. He notices that they learn better if they recyive feedback from the ai in a different way. “VMBO students are not so linguistic. It is better to explain things to them step by step,” he knows. In this way, the ai adapts to the (language) level or each student.
He is Adamant: The use of a must Grow, “Because Education Has Been at a standstill for a very long time”. Accordance to the tutor, this exam trainer is a good example of it starting to run. “In this way, students always have some” sitting next to them “who can help them.”
