The Impact of AI on Learning Processes

AI is changing the educational landscape as students increasingly incorporate it into their learning. In a hypothetical scenario, two students approach an essay assignment using AI in vastly different ways. One student submits a complete essay generated by AI after a simple prompt, while the other engages in a comprehensive process that involves research, structuring, and iterating with AI. The key difference lies in the learning experience: the first student may achieve a quick result but lacks meaningful engagement with the material, while the second student learns deeply from the struggle and process, reinforcing the value of challenging oneself through active learning.
