Used thoughtfully, ChatGPT can be a powerful tool to help students develop skills of rigorous thinking and clear writing, assisting them in thinking through ideas, mastering complex concepts, and getting feedback on drafts.
如果使用得当,ChatGPT 可以成为帮助学生培养严谨思维和清晰写作技能的强大工具,帮助他们思考想法、掌握复杂概念,并对草稿进行反馈。
There are also ways to use ChatGPT that are counterproductive to learning—like generating an essay instead of writing it oneself, which deprives students of the opportunity to practice, improve their skills, and grapple with the material.
也有一些使用 ChatGPT 的方法对学习不利,比如生成一篇文章而不是自己写,这剥夺了学生练习、提高技能和深入理解材料的机会。
For students committed to becoming better writers and thinkers, here are some ways to use ChatGPT to engage more deeply with the learning process.
对于致力于成为更好的作家和思想家的学生,这里有一些使用 ChatGPT 更深入参与学习过程的方法。
1. Delegate citation grunt work to ChatGPT
1. 将引用的繁琐工作委托给 ChatGPT
AI excels at automating tedious, time-consuming tasks like formatting citations. Just remember to cross-check all source details against original materials for accuracy. By taking care of the grunt work, ChatGPT can free you to focus on the fun part: being creative, coming up with original ideas, and formulating an undeniable argument.
人工智能擅长自动化处理繁琐、耗时的任务,如格式化引用。只需记得核对所有来源细节与原始材料以确保准确性。通过处理繁重的工作,ChatGPT 可以让你专注于有趣的部分:发挥创造力,提出原创想法,并制定无可辩驳的论点。

3. Get a roadmap of relevant sources
3. 获取相关资源的路线图
ChatGPT can guide your research by suggesting relevant scholars, sources, and search terms. But remember: while it can point you in the right direction, ChatGPT isn’t a substitute for reading primary sources and peer-reviewed articles. And since language models can generate inaccurate information, always double-check your facts.
ChatGPT 可以通过建议相关学者、资源和搜索词来指导您的研究。但请记住:虽然它可以为您指明方向,但 ChatGPT 不能替代阅读原始资料和同行评审的文章。而且由于语言模型可能会生成不准确的信息,请务必核对您的事实。

Be transparent—cite your conversations
保持透明——引用你的对话
One last point: When you use ChatGPT to deepen your understanding, develop your ideas, or come to insights you might not otherwise have had, it should fall within the bounds of acceptable academic practices. But since ChatGPT can also be used in unethical ways, your professors will likely feel more comfortable if they can see exactly how it’s contributing to your thinking.
最后一点:当你使用 ChatGPT 来加深理解、发展想法或获得可能无法获得的见解时,这应该在可接受的学术实践范围内。但由于 ChatGPT 也可能被不道德地使用,如果你的教授能确切看到它如何促进你的思考,他们可能会更放心。
Part of academic work is being transparent about your sources. That’s why universities emphasize the importance of proper citations, making sure you acknowledge the thinkers who’ve shaped your understanding.
学术工作的一部分是对你的来源保持透明。这就是为什么大学强调正确引用的重要性,确保你承认那些塑造了你理解的思想家。
Similarly, it’s important to be open about how you use ChatGPT. The simplest way to do this is to generate shareable links(opens in a new window) and include them in your bibliography(opens in a new window). By proactively giving your professors a way to audit your use of AI, you signal your commitment to academic integrity and demonstrate that you’re using it not as a shortcut to avoid doing the work, but as a tool to support your learning.
同样,公开您如何使用 ChatGPT 也很重要。最简单的方法是生成可分享的链接(在新窗口中打开)并将它们包含在您的参考文献中(在新窗口中打开)。通过主动为您的教授提供审核您使用 AI 的方法,您表明了对学术诚信的承诺,并展示了您使用它不是为了逃避工作,而是作为支持学习的工具。
