The teachers were instructed to rate their impressions of using generative AI, such as ChatGPT, for their classroom instruction. In the end, the researchers discovered the results varied between men and women, with women teachers holding a preference for rule-based (deontological) approaches to using AI in the classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe way we teach critical thinking will change with AI,\u201d said Dr. Stephen Aguilar. \u201cStudents will need to judge when, how and for what purpose they will use generative AI.
