To use AI properly

The province currently has more than 400 primary, secondary and high schools. In recent times, digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have been strongly applied in teaching to create excitement for learning, helping complex knowledge become intuitive, easy to understand and easy to remember. AI has also become a useful tool to support students in learning, but without guidance from teachers and supervision from families, students can easily become dependent and abused.

In the digital age, AI-based learning tools are opening up new ways for students to access knowledge easily and effectively. AI platforms can simplify complex concepts, guiding students step by step in the process of accessing and consolidating knowledge. With the ability to analyze learning capacity and speed, AI can adjust content and level to suit each student; many tools also encourage students to discuss and debate. In fact, it is increasingly common for students to use AI to search for information, solve exercises, make outlines, and summarize content during the learning process. However, if they depend on artificial intelligence, students will become lazy in thinking, analyzing and solving problems.

To prevent students from abusing artificial intelligence, in March 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training issued a digital competency framework for learners, including 6 competency domains and 24 component competencies from basic to advanced levels such as: data mining; communication and collaboration in digital environments; digital content creation; safety; problem solving; application of artificial intelligence. This is an important orientation to help students develop digital competencies.

“AI does not replace humans; those who know how to use artificial intelligence will replace those who do not; the use of AI requires thinking, purpose, ethics, security; especially always verifying information before deciding.”

Along with that, schools in the province have proactively adjusted teaching and testing methods to help students understand and use AI in the right direction, honestly and creatively. Schools have coordinated to propagate and guide knowledge, tools and methods of applying AI in learning. At the same time, they have clearly pointed out the boundary between creativity and cheating so that students have the right direction when applying.

As the ones who directly teach, set questions, evaluate, and grade, school teachers have proactively guided students to apply AI. Many teachers design open-ended lessons, enhancing students' creative thinking by having them prepare content at home, without limiting their ability to search and look up information. During class time, teachers and students focus on discussing and debating ideas to reach a common understanding of the lesson topic. Teachers ask students to clearly state the content supported by AI in their exercises; design types of exercises that encourage critical thinking such as: comparing, editing, and debating results created by AI. For example, instead of analyzing the character Thuy Kieu in the story Kieu, teachers guide students to use AI to create different outlines, then explain the reasons for choosing the best outline. Or give personal questions that cannot be copied such as: interviewing grandparents about wartime memories or last week, what did your family do to protect the environment...

Mr. Nguyen Minh Tu, Physics Teacher, Chu Van An High School for the Gifted, said: Currently, there is no case of students abusing AI, especially in natural subjects because the learning and testing process is closely monitored, students are not allowed to use supporting devices. There are many versions of the test, randomly changing questions, so it is difficult for AI to do it for them. Moreover, AI can only process the types of questions in the data system it was trained on, questions that are intellectual or have not appeared yet, the tool does not give accurate results. We always remind students of the principle: AI does not replace humans; those who know how to use artificial intelligence will replace those who do not know; the use of AI requires thinking, purpose, ethics, and security; especially always verify information before making a decision.

At the same time, teachers also encourage students to use AI as an “online tutor”, guiding them step by step to solve problems to consolidate basic knowledge. Hoang Thuc Quyen, a 9th grade student at Dinh Lap Secondary School, shared: When learning English, I found that my pronunciation was not standard, so I often used ChatGPT to practice pronunciation, learn new words, and improve my speaking ability.

Instead of focusing on results, assessing thinking, reasoning and analytical abilities is the foundation for students to use AI proactively and creatively. At the same time, the guidance and support of schools and families not only helps students avoid abusing AI but also exploit it effectively, adapting to learning in the digital age.
