Aminah — Research and Integrity

Form 5 · illustrating Practice 2, Evaluating Critically.

How the guide tells it p.51

  1. 1

    Preparing Geography coursework, she uses AI for an overall picture of the topic and a rough outline.

  2. 2

    She goes to the school resource centre and archive websites to find primary sources.

  3. 3

    Finding a difficult passage, she asks AI to explain it in simpler language.

  4. 4

    In her write-up she uses her own understanding, credits the original source, and states in the bibliography that AI was used as a research aid.

The lesson the guide draws

AI shapes the thinking; real sources supply the evidence; the writing is her own — and the AI is declared.

The source document illustrates this scenario with an image, labelled in the guide as AI-generated.

The practice it illustrates
