YWYiming V. WangMax Planck Institute for the Science of Human HistoryCHChristoph Heubeck

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how generative artificial intelligence can enhance students' questioning skills in Earth science education.
  • Utilized classroom experience to inform practices
  • Incorporated student feedback for evaluation
  • Limited AI usage to predetermined sources and claims auditing
  • Students exhibited sharper judgement in questioning after the intervention
  • Feedback indicated increased engagement with material
  • AI's role was effectively managed to support inquiry

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence has unsettled higher education, raising fears that students will lose the ability to think. Drawing on classroom experience and student feedback, we argue that grounded inquiry sharpens judgement in Earth science teaching by limiting AI to set sources and auditing its claims.
