“It is very important that these skills are also talked about in teaching so that the student understands the scope and limitations of this type of tools and thus can take advantage of them. If he does not know them, he would be a disadvantaged student,” says Correa.
The role of the teacher also matters
In addition to students, the other element that also plays an important role in this equation is that of teachers, who have lagged behind in the adoption of technology compared to students.
Turnitin data indicates that while more than 75% of students use some type of these platforms daily, around 20% of teachers use these tools for their daily work in the classroom.

He highlights that the firm’s AI detector has been used not only to realize the incidence of ChatGPT in school work, but also to determine the quality of the sources it is using, something that helps to make the process more transparent and in-depth. investigation.
“Something we have heard from educators in Latin America is that these technologies are part of a reality that we cannot ignore,” says Correa. “That is why it is time to adapt the ways and methods of educating.”
