Additionally, students’ performance on exams provides educators with insightsinto the effectiveness of their teaching methods and whether these methods support studentlearning 1 . While reproducing and increasing knowledge is a principal objective of education,education is also an “essential approach in preparing students for the demands of the 21st-centuryworkforce.” 2Since technology plays a fundamental role in the 21st century, understanding how to use it,including AI, has become a necessity.
