Report published on digital education, generative AI, and digital assessment
At the end of 2024, a survey was conducted with active students and teachers with a total of over 1,600 responses. Both the student and teacher surveys were divided into 3 parts that focused on digital education in general, generative AI and digital assessment. Below, you can see a selection of the results and also download the full report. The purpose of the report is primarily to present the results from the survey in a direct and straightforward manner.
The report provides an overview of teachers’ and students’ experiences
The aim of the survey study was to obtain an overall picture of how both groups experience the digital learning environment, as well as to identify challenges and opportunities in education related to generative AI and digital assessment.
The survey was also divided into the three areas digital education in general, generative AI, and digital assessment. A total of 314 teachers and 1,291 students responded, corresponding to response rates of 19 percent and 6 percent, respectively. The report focuses on presenting the results in a direct and straightforward manner, using charts and brief comments, without conducting any in-depth statistical analyses.
Some of the survey results
The results are divided according to the three sections of the survey.
Positive attitude toward digital education
The teachers who responded generally believe that KTH has been successful in digital education and that there is a well-functioning digital infrastructure with relevant tools. Students share a similar view, reporting that digital opportunities are used effectively in teaching. Both groups also believe that KTH should continue to develop digital education.
Students more familiar with AI chatbots
A conclusion from the section on generative AI is that students are much more familiar with AI chatbots than teachers. Students primarily use these tools to ask questions, search for information, and summarize texts. Teachers who use AI mainly do so to create teaching and assessment materials.
Fast feedback makes digital assessment attractive
The section of the survey concerning digital assessment shows that just over half of the teachers created at least one digital assessment in 2024, and slightly more than half of the students completed at least one digital assessment. The main reason teachers choose to use digital assessment is the ability to provide fast feedback, which is also seen as a clear advantage by students. Both teachers and students identify concerns about technical issues as the greatest challenge in digital examinations.
