Generative AI for Enhancing Active Learning in Education: A Comparative Study of GPT-35 and GPT-4 in Crafting Customized Test Questions
<|reference_start|>Generative AI for Enhancing Active Learning in Education: A Comparative Study of GPT-35 and GPT-4 in Crafting Customized Test Questions: This study investigates how LLMs, specifically GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, can develop tailored questions for Grade 9 math, aligning with active learning principles. By utilizing an iterative method, these models adjust questions based on difficulty and content, responding to feedback from a simulated 'student' model. A novel aspect of the research involved using GPT-4 as a 'teacher' to create complex questions, with GPT-3.5 as the 'student' responding to these challenges. This setup mirrors active learning, promoting deeper engagement. The findings demonstrate GPT-4's superior ability to generate precise, challenging questions and notable improvements in GPT-3.5's ability to handle more complex problems after receiving instruction from GPT-4. These results underscore the potential of LLMs to mimic and enhance active learning scenarios, offering a promising path for AI in customized education. This research contributes to understanding how AI can support personalized learning experiences, highlighting the need for further exploration in various educational contexts<|reference_end|>
