AI-Generated Quizzes: Enhancing Student Engagement and Critical Thinking

This session presents an exploratory study of the use of generative AI to create quizzes that prepare first year students for group discussions. The research explores how AI-generated quizzes can be utilized to enhance student engagement, stimulate critical thinking, and foster collaborative learning. A key focus is on how these quizzes help students identify their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to a given agenda in a lecture, thereby better preparing them for meaningful participation in e.g. group discussions. The study examines the process of creating and integrating AI-generated quizzes, the types of questions generated, and the feedback mechanisms used to help students reflect on their learning. This study explores the impact of these quizzes on student preparedness and how designs for learning transfer can inform the use of AI generated quizzes.
