Fra juks til læring

Et dialogbasert og studentaktivt undervisningsopplegg i generativ kunstig intelligens

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in the form of large language models, can be highly useful in academic work. While many students are using such chatbots extensively, others remain skeptical or uncertain about the new technology. To prevent a growing divide between these groups, the Learning Support Center at OsloMet has developed a course in AI literacy. The course is grounded in a learning philosophy in which knowledge and understanding are constructed and developed through dialogue and collaboration. AI literacy encompasses attitudes as well as intellectual understanding and technical skills. Therefore, emotional engagement is also incorporated into the course. In the case of large language models, students have often taken up these tools without prior training. In developing the course, an anthropological approach was used to understand how GenAI has influenced the learning culture among students. Their experiences and attitudes toward GenAI are integrated into the course to foster personal engagement. The article presents the pedagogical approaches rather than describing the entire course. This is illustrated with five teaching examples that show how dialogue, including with the language model, and active learning activities build experience and awareness for using GenAI in a critical, learning-oriented, and more effective way.
