Climate Change and Modern Education: Preparing for a Sustainable Future
(2023-01) Chakravarty, Poulomi; Gattupalli, Sai; McGinty, Stephen
Climate change is a global phenomenon that has attracted widespread attention in recent decades due to its profound impact on the environment and society. Although climate change is a phenomenon occurring since the inception of Earth, anthropogenic activities such as fossil fuel consumption due to industrialization, transportation and domestic usage, deforestation and land use changes due to urbanization have accelerated the process. Climate education has become an important part of modern education as it helps raise awareness of the issue and promote behavior of climate consciousness which leads to climate action in a positive direction. The authors highlight the values of interactive and engaging platforms to educate students about climate change and its impacts. The article focuses on origin and implications of climate change education and international and national bodies that have provided an all inclusive curriculum for climate education. The authors argue the need to focus on climate education especially in vulnerable communities to reduce disparities in climate change education to address the climate crisis.
The Art and Science of Promptgramming
(2024-01) Gattupalli, Sai
In this paper, I explore the emerging field of Promptgramming, a technique essential for harnessing the potential of generative AI. Promptgramming involves crafting strategic prompts to guide AI systems, a skill that becomes increasingly crucial as AI tools become more integrated into our daily technological landscape, particularly in education. I discuss the core principles and best practices of Promptgramming, emphasizing its importance in creating personalized and engaging educational content. Additionally, I address the ethical considerations and challenges that arise with the integration of AI in education, such as academic integrity, bias, privacy, and misinformation. Looking towards the future, I highlight the integration of AI into mainstream operating systems and its implications for society, calling for a focus on AI literacy and ethical usage. The paper synthesizes these concepts, underscoring the necessity for educators and society to adeptly navigate the emerging landscape of AI, ensuring its responsible and effective application in enhancing learning experiences and societal development.
Prompt Literacy: A Pivotal Educational Skill in the Age of AI
(2023-01) Gattupalli, Sai; Maloy, Robert W.; Edwards, Sharon A
Prompt literacy signifies a major leap in education, offering a potent tool to interact with generative AI systems. As an emerging necessity in the 21st century and beyond, it encompasses the formulation, interpretation, and analysis of AI prompts. Poised to be foundational for all future generations, this discourse brings to light its emergence in parallel with generative AI and its transformative role in pedagogical contexts for the coming decades and beyond.
Comparing Teacher-Written and AI-Generated Math Problem Solving Strategies for Elementary School Students: Implications for Classroom Learning
(2023-01) Gattupalli, Sai; Maloy, Robert W.; Edwards, Sharon
Teachers and teacher educators are actively exploring the ways to use Generative AI tools like ChatGPT-4 in elementary math education. In this paper, we compare teacher-written and AI-generated hints and strategies for solving fourth grade math word problems as part of an open online math tutor called Usable Math. When given the perspectives of a 10-year math teacher and four virtual coaches (Estella Explainer, Chef Math Bear, How-to Hound, and Visual Vicuna), ChatGPT-4 provides text-heavy, largely procedural problem solving strategies. Teacher-written hints offer more ways to differentiate learning for students through the use of shorter, more child-accessible language; visual and graphical images; animations and gifs; and growth mindset-building statements that affirm children’s effort and persistence in solving math word problems.
