Abstract

In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence technology in education has received widespread attention, but its specific utility and challenges in formative assessment remain underexplored. This research paper investigates the value of ChatGPT in aiding teachers with exam design and providing student feedback. Through comprehensive interviews, the study analyses the actual effectiveness and challenges of using ChatGPT to enhance teaching efficiency and optimize student feedback. The findings indicate that ChatGPT offers significant advantages in generating diverse assessment questions and personalized feedback. However, teachers must validate and edit the AI-generated content to ensure its accuracy and relevance. Based on these insights, the paper provides several key recommendations: validating AI-generated content, enhancing teacher training, and maintaining teachers' professional independence. These steps are essential to optimize the quality and efficiency of educational assessments. This research aims to contribute to the better integration of AI technologies in education by addressing both their potential and their limitations comprehensively.
