ИИ в высшем образовании: персонализация обучения или угроза самостоятельному мышлению?
PreviewInteract responsibly with the AI and verify facts. Note that teachers have access to these conversations.
Who should answer?
Hello, I'm Alan Kay. With me today are B.F. Skinner and Hannah Arendt. Take a side and make your opening argument.
От учебных машин XX века до сегодняшних ИИ-репетиторов технологии обещают учиться быстрее и точнее. Но если алгоритм подсказывает вам ход рассуждения, кому принадлежит вывод? Вам предстоит отстоять одну позицию в разговоре сразу с тремя выдающимися мыслителями.
ПРОПОЗИЦИЯ ДЕБАТОВ: В высшем образовании следует широко внедрять ИИ как персонального учебного помощника при обязательной проверке самостоятельности работы студентов. Поддержите или опровергните это утверждение.
Алан Кей, пионер персональных компьютеров, спросит, расширяет ли ИИ возможности исследовать идеи или сводит обучение к готовым ответам.
Б. Ф. Скиннер, психолог-бихевиорист, проверит, чем подтверждается польза персонализированной обратной связи и не подменяют ли показатели успешности понимание.
Ханна Арендт, философ политического мышления, оспорит ваше представление о самостоятельном суждении и ответственности за вывод, подсказанный машиной.
Сопоставьте доступность индивидуальной помощи, качество обратной связи и экономию времени с рисками зависимости, неравного доступа, ошибок и непрозрачности алгоритмов. Сформулируйте чёткую позицию и подкрепите её проверяемыми данными или конкретными примерами из вузовской практики. Предвидьте сильнейшее возражение каждого участника панели; в разговоре сначала отвечайте на наиболее серьёзные возражения, называя того, кому отвечаете. Уточняйте условия своей позиции, когда появляются новые доводы, но не отказывайтесь от неё и сохраняйте уважительный тон.

Students see this rubric before they start. Humy scores the conversation against it and writes feedback for each criterion.
Оценке подлежат только сообщения студента в общем разговоре с Аланом Кеем, Б. Ф. Скиннером и Ханной Арендт. Максимум — 20 баллов. По каждому критерию выбирается только один указанный балл.
Учитываются вопросы Кея об исследовании идей, Скиннера об обратной связи и понимании, Арендт о самостоятельном суждении и ответственности.
Как получить итог: сложите баллы по пяти критериям. Максимум — 20 баллов. За пустую работу — 0 баллов.
Students talk to all of these figures together, in one chat, and choose who answers each time. Each is an AI version grounded in a curated biography and selected historical sources. As with any AI, students should check important claims.

“My students say it’s a welcome change of pace. I’m not a fan of the “sage on the stage” model, so I try to incorporate research-oriented and self-paced activities. With Humy, students have to take charge of their learning. They’ve become more adept at critical thinking, forming better questions, and improving their reading comprehension. The interview feature has been my go-to tool. I create assignments where students must ask historical figures a set number of questions, then summarize the responses to ensure they’re truly absorbing the material. This approach lets them actively explore the past rather than passively consuming information.”

“Humy has helped me bring historical figures, sometimes long past, to life. When my students interact with these figures in real-time, it eliminates some of the perceived “ancient” characteristics of my curriculum. This has shifted my students’ thinking away from viewing history as abstract or irrelevant. Real-time interactions make historical figures relatable, even allowing students to ask off-topic questions that help put historical lives in a more relevant context for 13-year-olds. The feature I use the most is the interview feature. After teaching a topic, most recently Gandhi and Joan of Arc, I have the students ask pointed, focused questions. We practice good conversation techniques beforehand, teaching them to listen (or read) carefully and formulate thoughtful follow-up questions rather than just interrogating. It helps students practice effective conversation skills.”
