  1. Het artikel “From AI Tutors to AI Study Mates” is een bevestiging van wat al een tijd duidelijk is: AI-tools die lerenden helpen om taken sneller af te ronden, bevorderen het leren niet noodzakelijk, maar kunnen het leren juist ondermijnen. Deze bijdrage legt echter ook een relatie met L&D. Daar zit ‘m de toegevoegde waarde van deze bijdrage. #artificialintelligence #generatieveai #tutoring #leren #learninganddevelopment #onderwijs #edutoot te-learning.nl/hoe-kun-je-ai-t

  7. Another one bites the dust...

    I've tutored a couple of students who decided to not continue with me, but I think it is the class that is not suited to them more than me.

    They had a handout that talked about the domain of a function in very general terms (no mention of avoiding division by zero, or square roots, etc.), but the exercises they had about domains were very specific (yep, we had to handle division by zero, square roots, and more exotic stuff). To put it differently, the exercises they had required much more facility with the material than the class handout they showed me.

    Nominally, I was tutoring Calculus, but the material they had (both the handout and the exercises) felt like a revision that reached back to Algebra. And they were not completely at ease with this. 😬

    I can't imagine what's going to happen if they stay in this Calculus class and start having to deal with limits, etc.

    I should note that this is pretty rare that I get students who present me with a case like this. (Even though, I've just had a similar case with SAT. It is still rare.)

  15. I wrote the following this morning in response to a student who decided to pass on me after one tutoring session because she wants someone "more warm":

    "Good morning! I agree. Not because I don't want to tutor you, but because you should get the tutoring style that is fruitful for you. My door is always open if you ever change your mind. I wish you success."

    Note that her message to me was not accusatory or insulting, and it was thanking me.

    This was SAT tutoring.

    She has gotten some books to help her, and she hopes to take the June test. I checked the calendar and this is about one month from now.

    Can someone be brought up to speed in one month? Yes.

    Can she? I doubt it... especially considering that we ended our tutoring session with her asking for me to get questions marked "easy" in the database of question.

    I think she's in for a rude awakening.

    It is not that the math part of the SAT requires outlandish knowledge. However, it does require the ability to bring what the student has learned back to mind quickly. (For instance, you need to have the quadratic formula down pat and be able to bring it up, and know how to use it not only to find the zeros of a parabola, but also how to find the vertex.) In addition, it requires a significant shift from what math teachers usually require from their students. In class, the teacher usually says "show your work." For the SAT, showing your work is a death sentence. First, they do NOT want to see you work. They just want the answer. More importantly, if you spend time showing your work, you are wasting time. The SAT is timed, and students routinely run out of time to complete both sections of the math part. The faster you can be, the better.

    For the average student, taking the SAT is a shock. It was a shock for me too. I've never formally taken the SAT, but I've done simulations of it in preparation for tutoring. (Well, the math part of it.) The first few times were rough, precisely because I was spending too much time showing my work, when that is not only unnecessary, but harmful.

    I'm thinking of changing my blurb for the SAT to state that I'm only taking students who have either simulated taking the SAT with the Bluebook software provided by the College Board (or something equivalent), or taken the actual exam and haven't been satisfied with their score. I think these students are better able to appreciate what I offer.

    I don't mess around when I tutor. My approach is direct. Yes, you're going to make mistakes, but the time to make mistakes is when I'm there to help you, not when you're on the actual test.
