New survey tool assesses student AI and GenAI knowledge, identifies misconceptions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new survey instrument designed to comprehensively assess students' knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI). This tool aims to evaluate technical concepts, practical applications, and ethical considerations, addressing a gap in current assessment methods. Initial implementation in a higher education setting revealed that while students generally performed well, many exhibited misunderstandings regarding the inner workings of AI, particularly GenAI systems, and lacked higher-level conceptual understanding. The instrument is publicly available and intended to aid in the development of targeted educational instruction. AI

IMPACT Provides educators with a tool to diagnose and address student misconceptions about AI and GenAI.
