When it comes to assessing student writing, AI is getting a passing grade.
At least that’s what two recent studies comparing robot (AI)-generated assessments to human ones suggested. In one study, researchers compared written feedback ChatGPT gave to feedback human teachers gave based on 200 source-based argument essays in history written by students grades 6-12 from 26 classrooms in two school districts in Southern California. In another study, student papers were given a number score by both teachers and various versions of ChatGPT, and researchers looked at how consistent different humans and versions of ChatGPT were when it came to grading.
