ChatGPT as an educational support tool: an analysis of its potential in the teaching and learning process

Abstract

The integration of new technologies in education has been strengthening in recent years, and Artificial Intelligence-based tools are becoming increasingly popular for enhancing the learning experience. This paper discusses the potential of ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence-based language model trained with millions of text examples from the internet, to improve learning and enhance teaching efficiency. This paper explores four main areas where we can use ChatGPT: computer-mediated teaching and content creation; online and distance learning environments; personalized feedback; and self-directed learning. The results suggest that ChatGPT has the potential to be a valuable tool for students and teachers, although further optimization and examination of its usage in diverse contexts is required.
