智領未來：

運用生成式人工智能策略，開創中文寫作教學新格局

研究顯示，很多學生不喜歡寫作，寫作時經常遇到各種困難，例如不知道寫甚麼、詞彙量不足、語法錯誤、句意不清、內容欠缺組織，以及缺乏讀者意識等。老師在幫助學生應用從讀文教學中獲得的技能到寫作時，往往需要付出很大的努力，並且難以滿足每位學生個別的寫作需要。此外，由於日常工作量大，老師可能需要三星期才能完成批改學生的作文，這使他們無法及時給予學生寫作回饋，也難以讓學生通過多練習來提升寫作水平。

香港大學教育學院研究團隊應用「生成式人工智能」能夠快速分析文字和生成意念的特點，根據文類理論、香港中小學的寫作教學目標和評改標準，自主研發了「中文寫作評改系統」（簡稱 mAI Mind）。團隊邀請了三所中小學校試用該系統，檢視其對解決寫作學與教的難點，為學生提供個人化的寫作建議。研究發現該系統能於短時間內有效改善學生的寫作態度和動機；長遠而言，對提升學生寫作能力有正面影響。該系統的數據分析功能不但能減輕老師的評改壓力，而且能提高寫作評改的聚焦性和深度，為寫作學與教開創新路徑。

本講座將介紹「 mAI Mind 中文寫作評改系統」的研發理念和各項功能，並由先導學校師生分享他們的使用體驗，講述該系統在解決寫作困難方面的成效，並展示促進學與教的教學設計。

此活動適合對應用「生成式人工智能」來促進中文寫作教學感興趣的校長、課程發展主任、中文科主任、老師和教育工作者參加。

Leading the Future:

Utilising Generative Artificial Intelligence-Powered Strategies to Pioneer a New Landscape in Chinese Writing Education

Research shows that many students dislike writing and often encounter various difficulties, such as writer's block, limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, poor sentence structures, difficulties in organising ideas, lack of clarity, and inability to engage readers effectively. On the other hand, teachers face hurdles in assisting students to apply their reading skills to their writing and addressing the unique writing needs of each student. Due to heavy workloads, teachers may require up to three weeks to correct students' compositions, hindering the provision of timely feedback and discouraging frequent writing practice for improvement.

A research team from the Faculty of Education at The University of Hong Kong developed the "Chinese Writing Assessment System" (abbreviated as mAI Mind) by applying the instant content analytic and idea generation functions of "Generative Artificial Intelligence" and referencing the genre theory, writing curriculum framework and assessment criteria of Hong Kong primary and secondary schools. Three primary and secondary schools were invited to have a trial run of the system, to examine its effectiveness in addressing the challenges in writing education and providing personalised writing suggestions for students. The results show that mAI Mind significantly improves students' writing attitudes and motivation in a short period of time, leading to long-term enhancement of their writing abilities. The system's data analysis capabilities not only alleviate teachers' assessment pressures but also enhance the focus and depth of writing feedback. It opens a new path for the learning and teaching of writing.

This seminar will introduce the design concept of the "mAI Mind Chinese Writing Assessment System" and showcase its diverse features. Teachers and students from the pilot schools will share their first-hand experiences of using the system to facilitate teaching and learning. They will also discuss the effectiveness of the system in addressing writing difficulties, and present their school-based teaching designs that help promote students’ learning outcomes.

This event is suitable for principals, curriculum development officers, Chinese subject heads, teachers, and educators who are interested in leveraging "Generative Artificial Intelligence" to enhance Chinese writing education.
