Artificial intelligence solves homework in seconds, but it hides a lot of traps

The article discusses the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on homework and learning processes among students worldwide. It highlights concerns raised by teachers and students about the diminishing purpose of homework when AI can solve tasks in seconds. The piece references a study conducted by researchers at Stockholm University and collaborators in Hong Kong, which tracked approximately 27,000 Chinese students aged 12 to 18 over two and a half years. The findings show that while AI improves short-term performance and saves time, it does not lead to meaningful learning. Students' exam results drop significantly when they cannot use AI tools, indicating a gap between task completion and true understanding. The OECD has noted similar trends globally. The article also mentions varying levels of AI usage among students, with some using it for information retrieval, explanations, or complete solutions, while fewer use it for personalized learning plans. Beyond academic use, AI is shaping students’ overall experiences, offering immediate support but also raising questions about emotional well-being.

Slovenian 15-year-olds have recorded lower results in key areas of literacy compared to previous PISA assessments, according to national coordinator Klaudija Šterman Ivančič. The latest PISA 2025 results show a decline in reading, mathematics, and scientific literacy, with Slovenia performing below the OECD average on all three subjects. This marks a continued downward trend since the last assessment in 2022, which already showed a drop in performance. The PISA 2025 assessment included over 760,000 students from 91 countries, providing a comprehensive comparison of educational achievement. In Slovenia, approximately 7,366 students were tested across 356 schools, representing around 21,600 15-year-olds, about 93% of the total population in this age group. The results indicate that while Slovenia's performance in science is slightly above the OECD average, it has fallen behind in reading and mathematics. In reading, 64% of Slovenian students reached the basic level of proficiency, compared to 69% in the OECD average. Only 3% achieved the highest levels of reading proficiency, significantly lower than the 6% average for OECD countries. In mathematics, 65% of students reached the basic level, matching the OECD average, but only 6% achieved the highest levels, far below the 8% average. In science, 76% of students reached the basic level, just above the OECD average of 74%, though the gap to leading systems remains substantial. The decline in performance is attributed to several factors, including changes in reading habits influenced by screen time, reduced interest in reading among youth, and shifts in attitudes toward school following the pandemic. Additionally, there is growing concern about the impact of teacher shortages on the quality of education. According to data, 46% of Slovenian students attend schools where teachers believe staff shortages somewhat hinder teaching, higher than the OECD average of 39%. Only 17.5% of students attend schools where administrators do not perceive staff shortages as a hindrance, compared to an OECD average of 28.8%. The Slovenian School Workers' Union (Sviz) has called for systemic solutions to address these challenges, emphasizing the need for adequate resources and conditions to ensure high-quality public education. They warn that current interpretations of the findings should avoid simplistic conclusions and quick fixes that fail to deliver lasting improvements in educational quality. The union highlights that the number of missing qualified educators has increased by 20% compared to the previous school year, indicating a systemic issue requiring urgent attention. Minister for Education, Science, and Youth Borut Rončević will provide further commentary during a press conference later today, alongside representatives of the Pedagogical Institute, which coordinates the PISA assessment in Slovenia. The results underscore the importance of addressing both immediate and long-term challenges in the education system to improve student outcomes and maintain competitiveness in international comparisons.
