Beyond CheatBots: Examining Tensions in Teachers’ and Students’ Perceptions of Cheating and Learning with ChatGPT
Article Summary
In this study, the authors explored tensions in teachers’ and students’ opinions about what constitutes learning and cheating with AI. Using qualitative methods, they asked Pre-K through postsecondary writing teachers (n = 16) and a linguistically diverse group of students (n = 12) to consider examples of how students might use ChatGPT, rank them in order of how much they thought each student learned and cheated, and explain their rankings.
