Artificial intelligence to strengthen high school students’ writing skills
A&R CartonWhat is it?
Public high school students in Brazil often don’t have access to individualized writing support, which can negatively affect their performance in national admissions exams and future educational and career opportunities.
Researchers evaluated the impact of giving high school students access to an artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by the Brazil-based ed-tech literacy platform Letrus.
HIGHLIGHTS
The AI tool complemented teacher instruction by providing rapid feedback on students’ writing as they prepared for the national university admissions exam and freed up teachers’ time to give more individualized assistance to students.
Students with access to the platform improved their writing abilities and increased their scores on the university entrance exam.
