Generative AI systems such as ChatGPT pose an unprecedented challenge to
established structures and institutions in many different domains, including
higher education. Given the novelty and untested role of generative AI in
higher education, its impact has yet to be systematically explored and
evaluated. For this reason, this postdoc project aims to examine the possible
use and impact of generative AI systems in higher education, with a particular
focus on academic writing. The findings will be directly integrated into the
constructive alignment triangle of several courses at the university, thereby
promoting the articulation of "future-oriented" learning objectives and
"AI-proof" assessment methods for academic writing.
The project
In this two-year postdoc project, you will examine the use of generative AI
for teaching academic writing in engineering education. This project consists
of several work packages. First, you will be mapping the state-of-the-art of
current approaches to implementing generative AI in teaching and assessment of
writing in higher education. Second, together with educational support and
teachers, you will design (summative and formative) assessment methods,
incorporating the use of (generative) AI. This may include assessing both
product and process, focusing on optimizing human-AI collaboration, assessing
critical reflection on AI-generated content, etc. Finally, these methods will
be tested on their ability to assess future-oriented learning objectives,
taking into account both individual and task differences.
You will be embedded in the Human-Technology Interaction
group and the Philosophy and Ethics
group of the department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation
Sciences, and collaborate with a larger group of educational stakeholders,
including teachers, course designers, and policy makers. An important aspect
of this project is the focus on societal impact: you will directly implement
and test your ideas within engineering courses at the TU/e and discuss the
broader implications and recommendations with relevant educational
stakeholders.
