The Five 'A's for GenAI in Academic Writing

This document sets out an ordered set of thematic imperatives for the development of educational resources or curriculum design focussed on developing Critical Generative Artificial Intelligence Literacy. Specifically, these five pedagogical themes define a linked set of instructional aims to underpin an appropriate approach for undergraduate and taught postgraduate to the considered and appropriate use of GenAI technologies in Academic Writing contexts, where these tools are sanctioned for use. The Five 'A's are: Authorship, Accuracy, Agency, Appropriateness, Awareness.

Abstract

This document sets out an ordered set of thematic imperatives for the development of educational resources or curriculum design focussed on developing Critical Generative Artificial Intelligence Literacy. Specifically, these five pedagogical themes define a linked set of instructional aims to underpin an appropriate approach for undergraduate and taught postgraduate to the considered and appropriate use of GenAI technologies in Academic Writing contexts, where these tools are sanctioned for use. The Five 'A's are: Authorship, Accuracy, Agency, Appropriateness, Awareness.
