随机实验区分 ChatGPT 与批判性思维训练的互补作用
A randomized experiment separates the effects of ChatGPT and critical-thinking training
博科尼大学研究者与 OpenAI Economic Research 对超过 1,000 名一年级学生开展随机实验。官方摘要称,ChatGPT 访问提高了作业质量与连贯性,因果推理训练则带来更多独特想法,两者结合时效果并存。研究使用特定商业案例和评分方法,结论不应自动推广到所有课程。
Researchers at Bocconi University, working with OpenAI Economic Research, ran a randomized experiment with more than 1,000 first-year students. The published summary reports that ChatGPT access improved quality and coherence, while causal-reasoning training produced more distinctive ideas, with both effects appearing together. The study used one business case and evaluation design, so its findings should not be generalized automatically to every course.
