Summary
Health professions educators can use a new prompt-powered worksheet to integrate generative artificial intelligence (AI) into learning without sacrificing critical thinking. This tool helps faculty create AI-enhanced educational materials, fostering collaboration over passive use.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Artificial Intelligence in Education
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Health professions educators struggle to balance generative AI's potential for learning enhancement with risks to critical thinking and patient safety.
- Faculty concerns exist regarding AI promoting superficial understanding, with a lack of institutional pedagogical solutions.
- Varied faculty AI expertise and lack of guidance hinder effective AI integration in education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and test a prompt-powered worksheet enabling faculty to create AI-integrated learning tools that preserve critical thinking.
- To provide educators with a user-friendly method for leveraging AI as a pedagogical partner.
Main Methods:
- A prompt-powered worksheet was developed, guiding faculty through sequential steps using pre-designed prompts with AI chatbots.
- The method focused on faculty using AI as a brainstorming partner, maintaining human pedagogical expertise.
- The worksheet's accessibility was tested at an international workshop with educators of varying AI experience.
Main Results:
- The prompt-powered worksheet proved universally accessible, irrespective of prior AI experience.
- Educators demonstrated a shift in perspective, viewing AI as a creative collaborator rather than a threat.
- The tool successfully empowered faculty to design AI-enhanced learning experiences.
Conclusions:
- The prompt-powered worksheet offers a practical solution for integrating generative AI in health professions education.
- This approach supports the development of critical thinking skills alongside AI utilization.
- It fosters a collaborative relationship between educators and AI, enhancing pedagogical design.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Creative thinking encompasses innovative and unconventional methods for addressing challenges, often leading to groundbreaking solutions. Instead of focusing solely on enhancing existing systems, such as increasing smartphone battery capacity, creative thinking might inspire advancements like energy-efficient batteries or processors that minimize power consumption. This multidimensional approach underscores the importance of exploring novel pathways to innovation.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.

Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...
