How to Train Critical Thinking of the Students with Chat GPT

In today's webinar, we will be discussing how to effectively train critical thinking skills in students using Chat GPT. This powerful Generative AI developed by OpenAI allows users to generate natural responses and conversations Based on a given prompt. We will explore the objectives and benefits of using Chat GPT for critical thinking training, as well as provide step-by-step instructions on how to launch this use case with Challenge Me. Through peer review activities and structured evaluations, students will be able to analyze and improve their own productions, as well as gain valuable insights from the productions of their peers. So, let's dive into the world of Chat GPT and discover how it can be used to enhance critical thinking skills in students.

Introduction

Before we proceed, let's have a quick overview of what Chat GPT actually is. Developed by OpenAI, Chat GPT is an advanced generative AI that enables users to generate natural responses and engage in conversations based on a given prompt. It has the capability to generate various types of content, such as marketing case studies, exercises for engineering students, and even text summaries. With Chat GPT, the possibilities are endless, and it can be a powerful tool for students to enhance their critical thinking skills.

Objectives and Solution

The main objective of this use case is to train students in critical thinking by analyzing productions generated by Chat GPT. By evaluating the content's consistency, acceptability, strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, students will develop a deeper understanding of the AI Tool's capabilities and limitations. Additionally, they will learn to judge the accuracy and contextual understanding of information, enhancing their overall critical thinking abilities.

To achieve this objective, we propose a solution that involves a peer review activity. In this activity, students will be asked to submit works they have produced using Chat GPT or any other AI tool, along with the prompt they used. Other students will then evaluate these productions based on predefined criteria set by the teacher. This process will allow students to understand the quality of their own productions and also provide feedback to their peers. By engaging in this structured evaluation process, students will not only improve their critical thinking skills, but also develop a better understanding of the AI tool's capabilities.

Benefits of Using Chat GPT for Critical Thinking Training

There are several benefits to using Chat GPT for training critical thinking skills in students.

1. Supervised Use: By conducting the evaluation process in a supervised manner, students can learn to critically analyze the productions generated by Chat GPT. They will be able to determine if a production is acceptable and consistent with provided instructions.

2. Contextual Understanding: Through the use of Chat GPT, students will gain a deeper understanding of the tools and their relevance in different areas. They will learn to identify both the strengths and limitations of the AI tool, as well as the importance of contextual understanding.

3. Improvement of Critical Thinking Skills: This use case provides students with an opportunity to evaluate the productions of their peers and give constructive feedback. Through this process, students will enhance their critical thinking abilities and learn to provide valuable insights and recommendations for improvement.

4. Perspective and Group Collaboration: By analyzing and comparing multiple productions generated by Chat GPT, students will be able to put their own work into perspective. They will discover different approaches and gain insights into how to Create more effective Prompts and structure their own productions.

Overall, using Chat GPT for training critical thinking skills can empower students to think critically, analyze information, and provide constructive feedback. It enables them to develop a deeper understanding of the AI tool's capabilities and limitations, while also enhancing their own abilities to produce high-quality work.

How to Launch a Use Case with Challenge Me

To implement this use case, Challenge Me provides an ideal platform for conducting peer review activities. The following steps Outline how to launch this use case using Challenge Me.

1. Create a Challenge Activity: Within your Learning Management System (LMS) such as Moodle or Blackboard, add a Challenge Me activity. Name the activity and select the appropriate language.

2. Define Start and Due Dates: Set the start and due dates for the deposit phase. This is when students will be able to submit their work.

3. Individual or Group Work: Choose whether the activity will be done individually or in groups.

4. Define Instructions: Clearly define the instructions for the challenge, such as creating a production using Chat GPT based on a specific topic or prompt.

5. Define Evaluation Criteria: Specify the criteria that students will use to evaluate the work of their peers. This could include evaluating the structure of the production, the quality of the prompt, content consistency, and more.

6. Set Evaluation Guidelines: Determine the number of works each student will assess. Define the guidelines for providing feedback, such as whether it should be textual or numerical.

7. Completion and Results: Decide when the challenge will be completed and whether to Show or hide scores and results from participants.

8. Launch the Challenge: Validate the form and launch the challenge for students to access.

Support and Integration with Learning Management Systems

Challenge Me offers extensive support for teachers and integration with popular Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Blackboard, or Price Space. The platform provides technical and pedagogical support to ensure teachers have access to the necessary tools for implementing this use case effectively. With seamless integration, Challenge Me streamlines the process of conducting peer review activities, making it easier for teachers to facilitate critical thinking training.

In the next sections, we will Delve deeper into the peer review activity, criteria for evaluating productions, the feedback phase, and the result phase. Stay tuned to learn more about how to successfully implement this use case and train critical thinking skills using Chat GPT and Challenge Me.
