Teaching Information Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills in Chat GPT Time
Sažetak
In this article, the unprecedented popularity of Chat GPT is acknowledged, generating positive interest but also raising concerns about AI’s potential to replace humans. Despite factual mistakes and hallucinations, Chat GPT’s enduring presence is emphasized, acknowledged with the record-breaking sales growth and Generative AI market projected almost 50% YoY growth. Amid controversies, particularly in education with New York City Public Schools banning its use due to concerns over cheating and setback of critical thinking and slowdown of problem-solving skills development, the author advocates for incorporating Chat GPT into the learning process. The article proposes an ‘upgrade’ of a Class designed in 2016, reinforcing the usage of mental models as the cognitive framework for effective prompt formulation. By effectively using Chat GPT in their Class assignment students will master its use for any given task, simultaneously enforcing generic skills needed for successful study and easier employment.
