ChatGPT in Education

The introduction of ChatGPT in 2022 raised concerns among teachers about potential issues with its use in education. Educators believed that apps that use Generative Artificial Intelligence, also known as chatbots, could make academic tasks too easy, and that students could use them to cheat. Consequently, some schools banned their use. However, over time, teachers' opinions have changed.

Nowadays, teachers no longer think of chatbots like ChatGPT only as tools for cheating. They see ChatGPT as a useful learning resource and compare it to a helpful friend that can improve the learning experience, making lessons more interesting and teaching students how to evaluate information. Additionally, educators believe it can save time in creating worksheets and other materials.

Some educational app developers are already incorporating ChatGPT in their products. They believe that ChatGPT can adapt to individual learning needs because it can offer diverse learning experiences, such as personalised quizzes. In the future, students might use a chatbot to discuss their homework, or brainstorm essay topics, making learning more enjoyable.

Even though more and more teachers appreciate ChatGPT, there are still concerns. On the one hand, some still worry about students using it to cheat; on the other hand, others think that using sophisticated technology that is only accessible to some students may be unfair. Generative Artificial Intelligence, including ChatGPT, is also known to have a tendency to "hallucinate" or make up information. This could be problematic, as students could include incorrect information in their assignments.

To deal with these concerns, teachers are adopting new assessment methods that focus not only on final results but also on students' comprehension of the material, insisting on the importance of developing critical thinking skills. Educators are also adjusting their lesson plans based on what Generative Artificial Intelligence can do. For example, they can make sure their assignments are not too easy by giving them to a chatbot to see what it generates. If the chatbot can easily produce decent work, it may indicate that the assignment needs to be modified.

Despite initial mistrust, ChatGPT seems to be here to stay, and it is already changing the way we learn. By integrating ChatGPT into the learning process, teachers are experimenting, innovating and making learning more stimulating, which marks a fresh beginning for education in schools.
