"The teacher has to get the student to student ; the tool is tool there to help."

"What role should teachers and institutions play in this technological revolution?" This question from Stella Salvatierra, Deputy Director of training Transfer at DATAI, opened the workshop "AI and University: Teaching Generation Z to think?" The quotation, organized by the Core Curriculum Institute, goal on the use of artificial intelligence in classrooms and the challenges it poses for training .

Pilar Zambrano, professor at the School Law, recalled that the mission statement of the professor has not changed: to awaken curiosity and accompany the student the search for truth. final, "teachers must get student to student ; the tool accompanies, it does not decide." Teaching students to think means helping them question assumptions that they often take for granted, something that the emergence of AI makes even more necessary. 

For his part, Alejandro Néstor García, professor at the School Philosophy Letters and member of EurekAI, stated that artificial intelligence can automate part of knowledge, but not the staff contribution. He also defended the role of the Humanities an framework for critically interpreting automated text production and avoiding uncritical use of AI. García also highlighted the collaborative dimension of learning and pointed out that "when students discuss among themselves, correct each other, and move forward together, that is when their own thinking really emerges," insisting that creativity is now more necessary than ever so as not to limit oneself to reproducing what technology is already capable of doing.

Oral exams in algebra and teaching methodologies

The workshop to discuss the challenges of teaching. Alexander Vaz, chaplain at Tecnun School of Engineering, shared his center's experience with flipped learning, a model moves theoretical explanations outside the classroom reserve face-to-face reserve for dialogue and in-depth discussion. In the more "engineering-oriented" degrees, students tend to seek immediate data. However, he warned that what is truly valuable is understanding, not mere information. "One of the most important things we must achieve is not the data, but understanding it: it is important to assess whether receipt what receipt and can make it my own."

Finally, he referred to the change made in the subject Algebra, which assessment for some time now through an test . This formula allows the student reasoning process to be observed student communication skills to be developed. In fact, positive results have been seen: "students get better grades, are better prepared, and have greater technical skills" because assessment requires them to understand and explain the process, not just give the result.
