contents We evaluate the effectiveness of GPT-4 Turbo in generating educational questions from NCERT textbooks in zero-shot mode. Our study highlights GPT-4 Turbo's ability to generate questions that require higher-order thinking skills, especially at the "understanding" level according to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. While we find a notable consistency between questions generated by GPT-4 Turbo and those assessed by humans in terms of complexity, there are occasional differences. Our evaluation also uncovers variations in how humans and machines evaluate question quality, with a trend inversely related to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy levels. These findings suggest that while GPT-4 Turbo is a promising tool for educational question generation, its efficacy varies across different cognitive levels, indicating a need for further refinement to fully meet educational standards.
