What are teachers' views on the application of AI in providing corrections and feedback on student essays?

Feedback to students' work is an important, yet challenging aspect of the educational process. In this respect, artificial intelligence (AI) may prove to be an invaluable tool in the hands of educators. Research on AI-generated feedback for student work exists, yet few studies have investigated educators' views on AI-generated feedback. For that matter, 20 primary school teachers corrected and provided feedback on 20 short essays coming from students aged eight to eleven. ChatGPT also provided feedback on these essays. The teachers compared their feedback with that of ChatGPT and subsequently participated in interviews. The findings revealed that while the participating educators acknowledged ChatGPT's technical capabilities that could potentially enhance various educational processes, they emphasized that it falls short in replicating the nuanced, empathetic interactions that human educators provide. They also emphasized that technology should complement, rather than substitute, the human touch in education.
