Key findings: - STEM students, particularly in Computer Science, are early adopters of AI tools like Claude, accounting for 36.8% of conversations despite representing only 5.4% of U.S. bachelor's degrees. - Students interact with AI in four primary ways: Direct Problem Solving, Direct Output Creation, Collaborative Problem Solving, and Collaborative Output Creation, each occurring at similar rates. - Claude is mainly used for creating and improving educational content (39.3%), technical explanations (33.5%), and higher-order cognitive functions like Creating (39.8%) and Analyzing (30.2%). Students are not just seeking quick answers; they're using AI as a collaborative tool to enhance their learning journey. This trend highlights the transformative potential of AI in higher education. And it shows: students are smarter than many teachers think or fear. I also liked this graphic which however is also nice marketing showing Claude being used for higher order thinking via creation something new… which is the strength of LLMs obviously. #AIinEducation #HigherEducation #STEM #Innovation #FutureofLearning
