Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) technology is used among students, yet it remains unclear how public health students and instructors perceive it to be effective in a learning environment. We described how and why public health students and instructors are using genAI technology along with their perceived benefits and limitations of using genAI, noting where perceptions overlap. We surveyed public health students and instructors at a higher education institution in the United States. Student survey questions covered which genAI technologies they used, which activities they used genAI for, and perceived benefits and limitations of using genAI. Questions for instructors covered which genAI technology they used, course activities genAI was integrated, and perceived benefits and limitations of using genAI. Student respondents ( n = 300) indicated using genAI technology for writing or clarifying concepts. Students and instructors ( n = 62) agreed genAI technology could save time on tedious tasks and will be part of our future workforce. They agreed that appropriate use in the classroom will better prepare future professionals. Alternatively, students and instructors indicated genAI may impede learning, produce inaccurate information, and pose opportunities for unethical behavior. While students and instructors agree on many aspects of genAI technology, instructors should be explicit about their expectations and rationale for use of genAI technology in classrooms.
公共卫生专业学生和教师对生成式人工智能的看法:他们的观点一致吗?
生成式人工智能(genAI)技术在学生中得到了应用,但公共卫生专业的学生和教师如何看待该技术在学习环境中的有效性仍不清楚。我们描述了公共卫生专业学生和教师使用 genAI 技术的方式和原因,以及他们对使用 genAI 的好处和局限性的看法,并指出了看法重叠的地方。我们对美国一所高等教育机构的公共卫生专业学生和教师进行了调查。学生的调查问题包括他们使用了哪些 genAI 技术、他们使用 genAI 进行了哪些活动,以及他们认为使用 genAI 的好处和局限性。针对教师的问题包括他们使用了哪些 genAI 技术、整合了 genAI 的课程活动以及使用 genAI 的好处和局限性。学生受访者(300 人)表示使用 genAI 技术进行写作或澄清概念。学生和教师(n = 62)一致认为,genAI 技术可以节省繁琐任务的时间,并将成为我们未来劳动力的一部分。他们一致认为,在课堂上适当使用 genAI 技术可以更好地培养未来的专业人才。但也有学生和教师表示,genAI 可能会妨碍学习,产生不准确的信息,并为不道德的行为提供机会。虽然学生和教师在 genAI 技术的许多方面达成了一致,但教师应明确说明他们对在课堂上使用 genAI 技术的期望和理由。
