The focus is whether the traditional teaching of methodological competence through research workshops can be supplemented with artificial intelligence (natural language processing, NLP) implemented in computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS). A case study shows that AI models can be trained to interpret texts. Thus, distributed interpretation by humans and AI becomes possible, opening up new possibilities for teaching qualitative methods. How people deal with these new possibilities is presented based on an explorative evaluation of a group discussion with young researchers. Finally, this contribution discusses the possibilities and limits of this new form of interpretation together with a machine.","PeriodicalId":47444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Technology in Education","volume":"55 1","pages":"111 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49360410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mayer, Sabrina Ludwig, Steffen Brandt","doi":"10.1080/15391523.2022.2142872","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15391523.2022.2142872","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract This study investigates the potential of automated classification using prompt-based learning approaches with transformer models (large language models trained in an unsupervised manner) for a domain-specific classification task. Prompt-based learning with zero or few shots has the potential to (1) make use of artificial intelligence without sophisticated programming skills and (2) make use of artificial intelligence without fine-tuning models with large amounts of labeled training data. We apply this novel method to perform an experiment using so-called zero-shot classification as a baseline model and a few-shot approach for classification. For comparison, we also fine-tune a language model on the given classification task and conducted a second independent human rating to compare it with the given human ratings from the original study. The used dataset consists of 2,088 email responses to a domain-specific problem-solving task that were manually labeled for their professional communication style. With the novel prompt-based learning approach, we achieved a Cohen’s kappa of .40, while the fine-tuning approach yields a kappa of .59, and the new human rating achieved a kappa of .58 with the original human ratings. However, the classifications from the machine learning models have the advantage that each prediction is provided with a reliability estimate allowing us to identify responses that are difficult to score. We, therefore, argue that response ratings should be based on a reciprocal workflow of machine raters and human raters, where the machine rates easy-to-classify responses and the human raters focus and agree on the responses that are difficult to classify. Further, we believe that this new, more intuitive, prompt-based learning approach will enable more people to use artificial intelligence.","PeriodicalId":47444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Technology in Education","volume":" 10","pages":"125 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41251892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Distributed learning institutions face specific challenges such as high levels of student attrition and ensuring quality, cost-effective student support at scale using a range of technologies, such as AI. While there is an expanding body of research on AI in education (AIEd), this conceptual article proposes that combinations of human-algorithmic decision-making systems need careful and critical consideration, not only for their potential, but also for their appropriateness and ethical considerations. We operationalize a framework designed to consider robot autonomy at four key events in students’ learning journeys, namely (1) admission and registration; (2) student advising and support; (3) augmenting pedagogy; and (4) formative and summative assessment.
