Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) has now entered many sectors, including education. However, its increasing use by students is raising concerns among teachers, particularly regarding the integrity of homework assignments. This situation raises a fundamental question: how can we preserve the integrity of homework assignments while maintaining their essential role in education?

A Reality to Accept, with its Challenges and Potential

First and foremost, we must all accept that AI is now integrated into the educational landscape: this is an undeniable fact. Although it presents certain challenges, it also offers considerable potential. Furthermore, it’s a tool that enriches learning by offering more targeted and personalized solutions accessible in just a few clicks. It’s important to embrace it in teaching practices and make the most of it to improve, or even revolutionize, teaching and learning.

Prioritize Process Over Results

In a world where AI can provide immediate solutions, it becomes essential to refocus attention not on the completed assignment, but rather on how the student constructed it. Students are thus encouraged to rethink the strategies they adopted to achieve the results. The teacher will converse with the student, asking technical questions such as: “How did you achieve this result? How did you come up with the ideas for the essay? How did you structure these ideas? Why did you use this turn of phrase, this verb tense?” A student using AI without being involved will have difficulty explaining their approach. Towards the adoption of the flipped classroom.

Towards the Adoption of the Inverted Classroom

This involves reorganizing traditional teaching-learning methods by asking students to explore a theory at home using materials prepared by the teacher or by conducting their own research. This homework assignment model allows students to arrive in class already familiar with the theory, ready to share with their peers. The classroom then becomes a space that fosters exchanges between learners and with the teacher, who acts as a guide and facilitator. Application activities usually carried out at home will take place in class. Thus, students will be able to complete higher-level tasks with the teacher’s guidance, transforming the traditional classroom teaching model.

Conclusion

The rise of AI in education poses a major challenge regarding the integrity of homework assignments. However, by emphasizing the learning process and integrating approaches such as the flipped classroom, homework retains its pedagogical value while promoting active student engagement in their learning. AI will thus become an essential ally in education.
