Metacognition: Understanding Our Own Thinking
As AI makes polished answers easier to produce, students need to become more aware of what is happening to their own thinking. Metacognition helps them recognize when AI is supporting genuine learning—and when it is quietly doing the cognitive work for them.
Designing Assignments That Keep Students Thinking
AI can generate information. Learning happens when students evaluate it. Rather than trying to design assignments that prevent AI use, faculty can design assignments that make student thinking visible. The goal isn't to outsmart AI, it's to create opportunities for students to explain, justify, evaluate, and apply their thinking in ways that reflect genuine learning.
