“The ChatGPT marking exercise is very ingenious”: Assessment re-design in primary and secondary curriculum units

Abstract

The recent rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) offers educators opportunities to consider the purposes of assessment and implement new possibilities in teaching and learning. TEQSA’s recent report on assessment reform for the age of artificial intelligence invites us to reconsider the assessments used in our units to evaluate learning outcomes and the best ways in which to prepare and train students in their respective fields in the age of artificial intelligence. In this presentation, I will share my personal reflections, including the challenges and opportunities, on assessment redesign in curriculum units following TEQSA’s advice to consider ‘what is worth assessing and, consequently, what and how students learn.’ The presentation will showcase some examples of assessment redesign requiring the use of ChatGPT in curriculum units that are preparing primary and secondary teachers to teach History and Geography. Further reflection will be provided with an overview of some preliminary feedback from students on these redesigns using GenAI in their assessments.
