A.I. Tutoring verses Human Tutoring
While both AI tutoring and classic human tutoring aim to enhance learning, AI tutoring offers instant feedback, personalized pacing, and 24/7 availability, whereas human tutors provide emotional support, adaptive reasoning, and deeper contextual understanding, highlighting a balance between efficiency and empathy in education! How does tutoring from an AI differ from classic human tutoring methods?
Reflections from Students at Syracuse University:
Response 1: AI tutor is useful for students that need immediate help that is accessible 24/7. Since AI has no office or working hours, it can provide help when you are working on an assignment at 8 AM to 3 AM. When asking the right questions it can help me get to the answer that I need or if I am super lost know the right answer. On the downside, when the AI is not sure if something is correct, it will not say “I am not sure but this is how I would approach it” like a human would. The AI says their answers confidently, like they are correct.
Response 2: I think that the classic human tutoring is the best and only way to learn because humans are more emotionally intelligent than AI. When I am getting frustrated on a problem, having another person slow down and help me with the problem is far better for learning than an AI. The AI goes through the analytical steps that it knows, but won’t explain more into each of those steps. It is also frustrating when I am trying to get help with a problem and the AI just gives me the answer. Of course this method is easy to get homework done, but it doesn’t help me learn the content.
Response 3: I think that both AI and human tutoring has its benefits. While AI like ChatGPT gives a very data-driven approach about the information that is given, I like tutoring from a person better because it allows me to be more creative with my thought processes and responses. While for calculus I like using AI because it gives me the steps that I need to solve a problem, for writing class, I would rather talk my ideas out with a person and not a computer.
Aramata's Response: I feel like both AI tutoring and human tutoring have their pros and cons. AI tutoring is mostly free while for human tutoring, most times you have to pay. However in the same sense, with human tutoring, usually the tutor knows the material well and is able to explain in a human-accessible way whilst with AI, it can be hard to understand. Both can get the material wrong however, with humans, that’s to be expected because human error is a very real and common thing. With AI, you don’t really expect it to be wrong.

Notes for future:
Don't need to add format of source analysis
not the vision for the project
in a blog, an embedded link to quote sources
research paper type of format
have a thesis
a call to action, make the audience want to do something
have and quote sources
Don't need to state who the audience is but can touch on it in the reflection
what is going to keep your audience is engaged, how to keep students engaged
2000 words of text
need a counter argument of sources
I think your research topic of AI tutor vs human tutor is a good question to address since so many people can relate to using AI as a teaching resource. I like how you included the responses you received from students when you proposed the question. I will likely steal that from you and try incorporating it into my portfolio since I think it makes the piece more well-rounded and more engaging. For instance, I agreed with the person's statement of "On the downside, when the AI is not sure if something is correct, it will not say 'I am not sure but this is how I would approach it” like a human would. The AI says their answers confidently, like they are correct." I do think this topic may be hard to find evidence for, and you might have to rely on primary sources. -Daniel Koshchak
ReplyDeleteI really liked your topic as it is as reliable to the current world as you can possibly get! I loved that you incorporated the responses from your prior questions into your final paper. I think having them as sources will really strengthening your argument and whatever point you are trying to make. I also loved your notes at the end and what to focus more on. It follows the rubric guidelines and I cant wait to see what the end results are. Daniel Yi
