When to use AI to get a hint, when to step back, and how to tell if your child is learning
TL;DR
- Brilliant's AI tutor provides hints for struggling students without giving away answers.
- Children should be taught to ask AI for questions and hints to understand problems, not just for solutions.
- Explanations can be as detrimental to learning as cheating if they allow a child to skip the thinking process.
- Encourage children to explain their thinking process when stuck before offering solutions.
- Fostering a love for learning involves helping kids engage deeply with their interests and experience the satisfaction of improvement.
- Learning should feel challenging and intrinsically motivated, not solely done to please adults.
