LIVE 14 - Como Fazer 1 Trabalho de Grupo com IA de Forma Inteligente

Main ideas / lessons

• Traditional homework assignments are no longer effective when students can use tools like GPT Chat: they may copy/paste outputs without reading or understanding, producing low-value work.
• AI should be allowed in the classroom, but with structured guidance so students learn, verify information, collaborate, and produce original writing.
• The teacher’s role shifts from “assigning work to be submitted” to guiding students through best practices for responsible and effective AI use.

What improves learning outcomes

Learning outcomes improve when students:

• Check and verify sources (since AI can hallucinate).
• Collaborate and communicate (developing “soft skills”).
• Produce original, group-written text based on verified information and discussion.

Tradeoff

• The approach may take more time, but it is more effective because it involves real reading, thinking, verification, and skills development.

Methodology / step-by-step strategy

1) Reframe homework/assessment design

• Stop assigning out-of-class work that can be completed via copy/paste from AI with minimal student engagement.
• Instead, create an assignment where students must use AI inside a guided workflow.

2) Assign group work + an AI tool

• Give students a group task.
• Assign or require that students use a chatbot/LLM (examples mentioned):
  • GPT (Chat)
  • Mistral
  • Claude/Sonnet (referred to as “CloudSonet”)
  • Copilot
  • Gemini
• Require students to look for sources as part of their AI-assisted work.

3) Classroom Phase A — Verify sources (individual work)

Students’ first task after entering the classroom:

• Check the sources produced or suggested by the LLM.
• The teacher provides guidelines for how to perform this verification.

Students then:

• Individually verify sources
• Read and interpret the results
• Practice critical thinking by ensuring information is verifiable

Emphasis: students learn that AI output may be wrong (e.g., hallucinations), so verification is necessary.

4) Classroom Phase B — Group discussion + structured form

Students meet in their groups to:

• Discuss the verified results
• Continue filling out a form provided by the teacher

The form includes accountability and content planning, such as:

• Each student’s or member’s contribution (e.g., “Manel’s contribution,” “Maria’s contribution”)
• Topic-related sections (e.g., topic one, topic two, topic three) to be developed

Students collaborate by:

• Sharing what the LLM taught them
• Deciding what they will write and how they will write it

5) Produce original group text (learning + writing)

The final written product must be:

• Original
• Written in groups by the students

This process intentionally develops:

• Writing and content knowledge
• Learning through stages (rather than skipping directly to the end product)
• Soft skills: communication and collaboration

6) Submission and evaluation (teacher checks AI involvement)

Students submit to the teacher:

• Their original text
• The LLM outputs/results they used

The teacher evaluates whether the work reflects genuine student learning and effort:

• The written work
• And, if applicable, oral work if students present

7) Teacher presence and guidance during the process

• The work is done in the classroom, not independently at home.
• The teacher:
  • Walks around
  • Checks progress
  • Suggests improvements

This keeps the teacher actively involved and supports learning.

8) Optional oral presentation dynamic

Besides the written submission, students may also:

• Give a presentation

This enables evaluation of:

• Oral understanding
• Written expression
