AI is killing pupils' critical thinking - and many now can't be bothered to learn how to spell
A survey of 9,000 teachers found that 66% of secondary school teachers believe AI tools like ChatGPT are killing pupils' critical thinking skills. The use of AI is also stopping students from learning basic skills like spelling, with many relying on voice-to-text tools instead.
A recent survey found that AI tools are affecting students' critical thinking skills. 66% of secondary school teachers and 28% of primary school teachers believe this is the case. The survey also found that 76% of teachers use AI tools for their work. However, only 7% use AI for marking and fewer than half of schools have a policy for AI use. The government plans to introduce AI tutoring tools in schools by 2027, but only 14% of teachers agree with this policy.
