Challenge
Recently, I have become concerned about the possibility that students may no longer think critically due to the advancement of AI. While the use of AI has saved time in tasks such as research, I worry that becoming overly reliant on it could lead to a loss of critical thinking skills. After conducting research on the advantages and disadvantages of a given subject, when asked what they think about it, students may not answer. Perhaps their experiences with AI have led them to believe that the answers generated by AI are superior to their own, or they might want to avoid making mistakes. So, I want to encourage students to 'think'. More precisely, I want to help them develop the ability to think critically through practice. One of the practices that Ive thought of for fostering critical thinking skills is promoting students to consider diverse perspectives. Encouraging students to look at issues from multiple viewpoints will not only enhance their understanding but also cultivate empathy and open-mindedness. With the advancement of AI, we can save time and many things have become more convenient. However, with the rise of fake news, even as adults, it can be difficult to determine whether something is true or if it was generated by artificial intelligence. Developing critical thinking skills may not enable us to determine the existence of results generated by AI, but it serves as a minimum defense.. While data collection and research are essential, it's crucial for students to develop their own insights rather than relying solely on those gained from AI-produced content. This emphasis on critical thinking will empower students to evaluate information independently and make informed decisions.
