With a Thermomix You Lose the Ability to Cook: A Kitchen Machine Analogy for Applications of Generative AI in Education

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper titled "With a Thermomix You Lose the Ability to Cook: A Kitchen Machine Analogy for Applications of Generative AI in Education" uses the Thermomix kitchen appliance as an analogy to explore how generative AI tools like ChatGPT are adopted in education. By mapping Thermomix use cases onto learning scenarios and situating them within the ICAP and SAMR frameworks, the authors illustrate how different modes of tool use can either support or undermine meaningful engagement and learning. The study emphasizes that the key issue is not merely whether learners use AI, but how such use shapes their learning processes, offering a conceptual lens for researchers and practitioners to critically examine and guide AI integration in education.

Feedback Without the Wait: Piloting a Generative AI Practice Platform in a Large Maths Class

The paper describes a pilot study of a generative AI practice platform designed to give immediate, scaffolded feedback to students in a large mathematics class. By moving human oversight to the verification of solutions rather than real‑time grading, the platform aims to reduce delays while maintaining trust and accountability. The study investigates student engagement, perceived value, and reliability of the AI feedback, and explores how these findings might apply to other engineering subjects.
