Next year, the preparation part of the exam will end. “This means that the students will no longer have a specific period to prepare for the exam before the actual exam day.” This is how Chat GPT explains the change. It is such AI tools that one now wants to prevent students from using to cheat. Because the use of such has become widespread among young people. In fact, the majority of young people use AI in school, studies and work. At the same time, we have an examination system that was created long before these came on the field. – We can no longer do things in the same way as before. It is important that the pupils learn what they are supposed to, are shown and measured on what they can actually do, says Education Minister Kari Nessa Nordtun from the Labor Party. The Norwegian Directorate of Education has proposed, heard and now introduced new predictions about preparation days on behalf of the Ministry of Education.

According to Nordtun, this part is particularly suitable for AI use, because students can take texts they create on the preparation day with them and use them during the exam. In primary school, you have this in all written subjects, except mathematics. It also applies to some subjects, such as Norwegian, English and other language subjects, in secondary school. EXCEPTION: The Directorate of Education retains the preparatory part for exams in Northern Sami, Southern Sami, Lule Sami, Swedish/Finnish and Sign Language.

The minister says that they are doing this because the use of AI is increasing, and then the risk that the answer does not show what the student can actually do also increases. Do you think it’s a good idea? No. The preparatory part of the exam is important, especially for students who struggle. Yes. Students should manage without such. Nah. They have to do something now that AI is everywhere. Show result Don’t know what the students can actually do For most of what you do during an exam, Chat GPT can also arrange: Answer questions, explain concepts, provide information or solve tasks. Has the wording of a human. And not least, he can give completely unique answers to each person who uses him. Chat GPT is one of many Ki programs that are easily accessible to everyone. Photo: Benjamin René Dyrdal Here are some of the challenges, both similar answers and knotty language have been warning lights for cheating. But the new technologies did not fall into such traps. – This makes it challenging for the examiner to assess the assignment, and to set a reliable grade, says Nessa Nordtun. Because the reflections and knowledge on the preparation part can be pure copy. But secondary school students news has met in Oslo think it is the wrong medicine against AI use. NEGATIVE: 10th-graders Helena Silva (from left), Ester Sørøy, Bo Schulze and Arne Gjønnes believe that it is wrong to remove the preparation part. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen / news – Are the children to blame? In the spring, 10th graders at Sagene School will be tested on everything they have learned in primary school. Ester Sørøy says that most people use AI for large and small purposes, and admits that it is possible to use it for cheating. – But then I think, are the children to blame, then? Or is it the school that can rather help us to actually learn something basic, she asks. PRACTICE: Ester Sørøy says that you can cheat with AI, but that the school should rather focus on teaching the students to use it. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen / news Her fellow pupils disagree and believe that the move will lead to those who struggle the most at school having it even more difficult on exam day. Rolf Petter Olaisen / news Arne Gjønnes – It is realistic that people use AI to cheat. It has already been proven that people do. Nevertheless, I think that we should rather try to adapt to the use of AI in schools instead of pushing it away in order to have traditional exams. KI will become a very large part of the everyday life of both students, but also adults in working life later in the future. Rolf Petter Olaisen / news Helena Silva – Nobody wants to cheat. Everyone will be smart enough not to have to do that. But they see it as a last resort. Then they cannot remove the preparation day. They need more help. They don’t need it taken away from them. Rolf Petter Olaisen / news Bo Schulze – They should re-evaluate their solution. Maybe come up with something else that fits better with what the students think. Published 09.11.2024, at 09.50
