Wonkhe @wonkhe.bsky.social · 22/03/2026NEW on Wonkhe: Students aren't confused about AI – they're making rational choices in a system that has removed the incentives to learn. Jim Dickinson and Mack Marshall preview findings from new research on learning in an age of AI buff.ly/4TKftU3 74922
PegTexan @peg-texan.bsky.social · 22/03/2026This lack of research skills, absorption of knowledge & initiative; leads us to stories from the job market…interviewees who are using ChatGPT to compose their answers during virtual interviews. They aren’t thinking for themselves but asking a machine to do it for them. 090
PegTexan @peg-texan.bsky.social · 22/03/2026“A student who wrote a mediocre essay in 2015 probably absorbed some understanding through the effort of producing it. A student who prompts an AI to structure and populate an essay in 2026 may absorb nothing at all – and the system, as designed, can’t tell the difference….” 0251
Isobel_Starling @isobelstarling.bsky.social · 22/03/2026What a terrible take. At the most basic level, students now are given the SAME tools that all students have had for hundreds of years...libraries. This is where most learning occurs, by searching, critical thinking, using initiative, learning as they research. AI is a lazy student's fever dream.media.tenor.coma man says we learned absolutely nothing while wearing a hatALT: a man says we learned absolutely nothing while wearing a hat 020
David P. Carey @dpcarey123.bsky.social · 22/03/2026"But the worst story came from a student describing a peer – a diligent international student who had worked hard, avoided AI, and received a lower second. They told the focus group they were “now forced to use AI.”" 1201
David P. Carey @dpcarey123.bsky.social · 22/03/2026"The more precisely a rubric specifies what a good submission looks like, the more machine-readable it becomes – and the less intellectual effort is required from the student." 2211
