Curious by Nature: We Can Give Teachers the Basic

Newswise — Dr. Samantha Keppler from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, discusses her research on the impact of generative AI in education. She explores how teachers have adopted AI tools like ChatGPT over the 2023-2024 school year, focusing on their use outside the classroom for tasks such as lesson planning and seeking advice. Her study reveals that while some teachers found AI helpful for gaining advice and boosting productivity, others faced challenges, particularly with grading due to student misuse of AI.

Additional research by Dr. Keppler includes What Teachers Are Likely Missing From Their Back-to-School Wish Lists, and highlights the importance of a balanced approach to enhancing student performance. Schools need both basic supplies and a positive learning environment. Investing in essential classroom materials as well as school beautification creates a welcoming space that supports effective learning. To achieve this, schools should allocate budgets accordingly or seek donations to address both needs and make a positive impact on education.
