LLMs have demonstrated proficiency in contextualizing their outputs using human input, often matching or beating human-level performance on a variety of tasks. However, LLMs have not yet been used to characterize synergistic learning in students' collaborative discourse. In this exploratory work, we take a first step towards adopting a human-in-the-loop prompt engineering approach with GPT-4-Turbo to summarize and categorize students' synergistic learning during collaborative discourse. Our preliminary findings suggest GPT-4-Turbo may be able to characterize students' synergistic learning in a manner comparable to humans and that our approach warrants further investigation.
Study at a glance
  • Question: Can an AI tool guided by human input effectively summarize and categorize students' collaborative learning discussions?
  • Setting and data: Student collaborative discourse (specific educational setting and sample size not stated in the abstract)
  • Method: Exploratory study testing an AI model with human guidance (human-in-the-loop prompt engineering) to analyze student collaborative discourse
Why it matters

Large language models often match human performance across various tasks, but they have not yet been used to characterize synergistic learning in students' collaborative discourse.

Key findings
  • Preliminary results suggest GPT-4-Turbo may characterize students' collaborative learning in a manner comparable to human evaluators.
  • Paired with human guidance, the AI tool can summarize and categorize how students learn together during collaborative discussions.
  • Large language models frequently match or exceed human-level performance across diverse tasks when contextualized with human input.
