As interest surrounding the use of generative AI in schools grows, research examining the effects of generative AI in education and learning remains sparse. New research by Turner College management professor Johnny Ho and Yaojie Li of the University of New Orleans aims to demystify the potential of generative AI by evaluating the performance of ChatGPT in addressing operations management problems and questions. The findings of their study, which is set to appear in a future issue of the International Journal of Services and Standards, reveal that ChatGPT generally performed well but struggled with aspects of Bloom’s taxonomy, suggesting its limitations in higher-order cognitive tasks. This particular finding underscores the importance of collaboration among educators, learners, and generative AI to enhance educational outcomes. Lastly, the study also explores the role of prompt engineering and custom GPTs in improving education and learning in operations management courses. Taken as a whole, the study provides significant insights into operations management education and pedagogy, unveiling many opportunities for future research.
Officials in the Turner College's Butler Center for Research and Economic Development recently put the finishing touches on an extensive report on trends in educational programs and occupations in the Columbus area. The report also includes data on business and technology trends. According to Fady Mansour , Director of the Butler Center, there are several key takeaways from the report regarding 10 occupational gaps that currently exist in the Columbus area. First, software development occupation exhibits the biggest labor shortage, with the report adding that the TSYS School has a bachelor's degree program in information technology along with a new AI track for the bachelor's degree in computer science, both of which can qualify students for this occupation. Other educational programs are in demand, such as computer programming and cloud computing. Second, there is a gap of 30 employees per year in general and operations management. This gap could be addressed by the Turn...
