In the Netherlands, some schools are implementing a new pedagogical practice: homework is done during class time, instead of being left for home. This approach comes as a response to the growing use of artificial intelligence tools by students.
The main objective of this measure is to prevent students from using chatbots and other AI technologies to complete their academic tasks. By directly supervising the completion of assignments, teachers intend to ensure that the work presented is actually from the students.
Experts in education warn that the use of these technologies may result in higher grades, without necessarily representing greater learning on the part of students. In other words, AI tools may be giving students an unfair advantage in assessments, without them truly mastering the content.
This trend in the Netherlands reflects a growing global concern about the impact of artificial intelligence on academic integrity and the quality of education. Schools are trying to find a balance between taking advantage of new technologies and preserving the authenticity of the learning process.
