Abstract

The topic I will be researching is to what extent teachers can distinguish AI from student work in schools. This study will analyze teachers' ability to identify AI across numerous subjects, ages, genders, and grade levels. While researching my topic, I found a gap in school-concentrated research. Many of the AI studies I found were done outside of school and focused on a broader selection of people. The few studies that were done in schools focused heavily on students and the use of AI in schools. My research plans to address this gap and further expand on the effect AI has on teachers in schools. After I develop my general question, I plan to conduct a survey in order to collect data for my question. For my data, I will design a survey composed of two sections for my research. The first section is AI and student-generated artwork; the second part consists of Student and AI-generated writing. In my survey, teachers will be asked to correctly discern between the two by guessing either "student" or "AI". This survey will also ask for their work experience, subjects they teach, and preferred teaching style to address any further possibilities in my research. Through this research, I plan to expand the understanding of this topic and further close the many gaps pertaining to AI use in schools. Analyzing the teachers, in contrast to the students, could effectively improve teachers' knowledge of AI.
