Studying with AI: tutor or cheat sheet? Worksheet for KS4, KS5 and FE

(0)
A two-page printable worksheet to help students notice the difference between using AI as a cheat sheet and using it as a tutor. Students sort everyday AI uses, learn six simple rules for studying with a chatbot, and finish with a self-check: “Can I do this without it now?” There is also a short optional activity on using AI as a feed-forward coach, to look ahead at a draft, a piece of feedback, or a task that is coming up. It is aimed at KS4, KS5 and FE / post-16, and works in tutor time, study-skills lessons or any subject where students already use AI. Activity 1 can be done on paper, with no login and no particular AI tool. A short teacher-notes panel summarises two 2025 studies discussed in the source chapter (Bastani and colleagues in PNAS, and Kestin and colleagues in Scientific Reports), with DOIs.
