Learning in symbiosis with generative AI encompassing a process of student validation

Abstract

We report on “learning in collaboration with generative AI,” which is practiced in the literacy-level courses of the Mathematics, Data science and AI Smart Higher education (MDASH) program, and which is advanced through verification by the students themselves. The purpose of incorporating generative AI is to improve students’ communication skills (ability to discuss, argue, and present). The feature of this system is that it provides a learning environment in which students can coexist with a generative AI that prompts them to role-play, i.e., the generative AI plays the roles of a student, a teacher, and a master painter, and the students themselves verify the generative AI’s creativity and expressive power. The results of a questionnaire survey of students showed that while the use of AI was highly evaluated as beneficial, some students pointed out that the feedback from the AI contained errors and was not sufficient. However, students also have high expectations for the advancement of AI technology, and further technological innovation and promotion of its use are expected in the future.
