The purpose of this study is to explore student perceptions of generative AI use and cheating in health professions education. The authors sought to understand how students believe generative AI is acceptable to use in coursework.
Five faculty members surveyed students across health professions graduate programs using an updated, validated survey instrument. Students anonymously completed the survey online, which took 10-20 min. Data were then tabulated and reported in aggregate form.
Nearly 400 students from twelve academic programs including health and rehabilitation science, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant studies, speech-language pathology, health administration and health informatics, undergraduate healthcare studies, nurse anesthesiology, and cardiovascular perfusion. The majority of students identify the threat of generative AI to graded assignments such as tests and papers, but many believe it is acceptable to use these tools to learn and study outside of graded assignments.
Generative AI tools provide new options for students to study and learn. Graduate students in the health professions are currently using generative AI applications but are not universally aware or in agreement of how its use threatens academic integrity. Faculty should provide specific guidance on how generative AI applications may be used.
本研究旨在探讨学生对生成式人工智能在健康职业教育中的使用及作弊行为的看法。作者试图了解学生认为生成式人工智能在课程作业中如何使用是可接受的。
五名教员使用一份更新的、经过验证的调查问卷，对健康职业研究生项目的学生进行了调查。学生通过在线方式匿名完成调查问卷，该问卷耗时10 - 20分钟。然后对数据进行制表并以汇总形式报告。
来自十二个学术项目的近400名学生参与了调查，这些项目包括健康与康复科学、职业治疗、物理治疗、医师助理研究、言语语言病理学、健康管理与健康信息学、本科医疗保健研究、麻醉护士以及心血管灌注。大多数学生认识到生成式人工智能对诸如考试和论文等评分作业构成的威胁，但许多人认为在评分作业之外使用这些工具来学习和研究是可以接受的。
生成式人工智能工具为学生学习提供了新选择。健康职业的研究生目前正在使用生成式人工智能应用程序，但对于其使用如何威胁学术诚信，他们并非普遍知晓或达成共识。教员应就如何使用生成式人工智能应用程序提供具体指导。
