Hack the Classroom: This year teachers in Solapur did not have enough time to evaluate the answer sheets of the examinations and prepare the final results. Therefore, an experiment was done to use AI to evaluate the answer sheets. The results of this experiment done on a small group have been encouraging. Ranjit Singh Disale expressed confidence that this will help in making this AI model more capable.
A research project to check the answer sheets of the annual examination of 225 students of 12 Zilla Parishad schools of Solapur district with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and declare the final result was recently completed.
In this experiment, the answer sheets of 225 students were checked by both the teachers of the respective class and AI. In the answer sheets checked through AI, changes were seen in the marks of 12 percent of the students. These changes were found to be consistent and accurate with the check done by the respective teachers.
'Hack the Classroom' AI Model
Global Teacher Award winner Ranjitsinh Disale has developed an AI model called 'Hack the Classroom' with the help of Google Gemini to check the answaer sheets of the students of Solapur Zilla Parishad schools. This model has been developed with the aim of preparing and checking question papers in Marathi language. For this work, special support has been received from the Innovation Lab of Harvard University.
AI completed the task more quickly than teacher
The primary testing of this AI model was done during the period from 25 to 30 April. On an average, teachers took 1 minute 42 seconds to check an answer sheet of about 20 marks, while it took 5 minutes 27 seconds to check an answer sheet of 50 marks. On the other hand, AI completed the same task in just 32 seconds.
AI model has also prepared a six-week learning plan
The accuracy of the answer sheets checked by AI was recorded at 95 percent. At the same time, the AI model failed to understand the handwriting of 5 percent of the students. While checking the answer sheets, it was also found that 2 percent of the questions were wrong, which was recognized by AI.
Based on the marks obtained after checking the answer sheets, this AI model has also prepared a six-week learning plan for skill enhancement for the concerned students, which will be implemented between May 1 and June 10, Disley said. Due to this, now other schools in the state are also showing interest in using this method.
