In a new survey conducted by Epinion for DR's Ultra News, it has emerged that around 14% of students in the age group 9-14 years have used ChatGPT for their schoolwork. Both teachers and students express uncertainty about using ChatGPT and, therefore, demand clear guidelines for teaching. In November, Minister for Children and Education Mattias Tesfaye will present recommendations on how artificial intelligence can be used appropriately in education.
Knowledge Centre for Digital Technology Understanding
We have previously mentioned the Knowledge Centre for Digital Technology Understanding in our newsletter, and now the Knowledge Centre has received a grant of DKK 5 million from the research reserve in an agreement entered into by the government and the parties in the Danish Parliament.
The knowledge center establishes a common academic foundation for understanding digital technology across universities, colleges, and schools. The aim is to promote the development of new pedagogical initiatives that can strengthen pupils' understanding of and use of digital technology in primary and secondary schools.
The new knowledge center will hold its opening conference on December 4, 2023 (registration closed)
Below, we have selected some articles that take a more scientific perspective.
How AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Bard work – visual explainer
The Guardian has produced a visual explanation of how language models work, conveyed in a highly informative way. The article gives a clear insight into how tokens and vectors are composed and that it is basically about mathematics and statistics.
Adapting to the Future: ChatGPT as a Means for Supporting Constructivist Learning Environments
In the article, Kim Minkyoung and Adlof Lauren from the University of West Florida explore how educators can utilize ChatGPT in teaching. They highlight strategies to integrate ChatGPT into a constructivist learning framework and examine how the technology can enrich teaching by supporting context, collaboration, dialogue, and construction in the learning process.
On 8 and 9 November, the Ministry of Children and Education holds its annual digitization days. The program is extensive, and we recommend you set aside time to follow along. Many presentations directly deal with the use of artificial intelligence in teaching, and generative AI will also be a recurring theme in many other sessions.
