How to grade students in a chaning world toward technology

 
In the current evaluation process, students typically provide answers to predetermined questions, and grades are assigned based on the correctness of these responses. However, considering the advancements in technology, there is now a capability for generating answers with ease. In light of this, I propose a shift in the assessment paradigm—moving beyond merely evaluating answers to also acknowledging and grading the questions students pose in any given context.

Voltaire's famous saying, "Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers," serves as an apt motto for this approach. Assessing students based on the quality, depth, and thoughtfulness of their questions not only reflects their intellectual engagement but also encourages a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. This method prioritizes critical thinking and inquiry skills, fostering an educational environment that values active participation and curiosity.

Embracing this perspective not only aligns with the current trajectory of educational philosophy but also recognizes the evolving nature of technology and its impact on the learning process. By encouraging students to pose meaningful questions, we aim to instill a deeper understanding and appreciation for the material, promoting a holistic approach to assessment.
