人工智能的出现对学生学习能力影响是积极还是消极？不少研究认为利用ChatGPT完成课程作业会导致学生独立思考能力的丧失，但这一看法或假设并没有得到证实。为此，我们开展实验，带领学生用ChatGPT生成一篇用英语撰写的学术论文，鼓励学生对每个生成的部分找漏洞提问题。结果表明，如要得到一篇合格的、或质量较高的论文，必须基于发现问题解决问题的思辨能力。也就是说，使用ChatGPT进行论文写作可以大大促进我国大学生的批判性思辨能力的提高。

Views vary as to the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) on the students’ academic ability. Many studies suggest the use of it in students’ assignments might result a reduced capability for independent and critical thinking. This view, however, is not supported by empirical studies. We hypothesized that writing a research article with ChatGPT could effectively develop students’ critical thinking. We conducted an experiment in the course of“Research Paper Writing and Methodology”,letting students engaged in generating a research article with ChatGPT by giving prompts and tackling feedbacks, during which students were encouraged to find problems with the given information, argument and conclusion. The results showed that students’ critical thinking is effectively improved when the generated article was finished with better quality.
