GP did not mention disciplines, and I don't think individual disciplines are to blame.
The approach of evaluating students based on "text generation" is very boring to study for, easy to fool (a parent/guardian can do it, last year's students can pass you an A grade answer, ChatGPT can generate it) and doesn't prepare students for reality (making new things, solving new problems).
- picture 4y agoNot all of us can be making new things and solving new problems, however..
- xoac 4y agoWhat if the thing you are supposed to be making is written communication in the form of a document, or a book, or a paragraph explaining why production was down? What if the goal of these things was to make a student literate?
- juve1996 4y agoHow exactly do you teach "Making new things, solving new problems."? How can you solve a math problem if you can't do basic algebra, even if you can run an algebraic statement through wolfram and get a result? You learn problem solving largely through solving already solved problems in life. They're new problems to the student, not the teacher.
