A comprehensive investigation for ChatGPTs applications in education

Abstract

With the surge in popularity of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), an artificial intelligence technology, on a global scale, numerous industries have started to take notice of its potential applications in their specific sectors, including the field of education. This document presents a thorough examination of how ChatGPT is being used in the realm of education. The following piece outlines the approaches to integrating ChatGPT into education, viewed from three angles: Educational Assessment, Exercise Generation, and Personalized Learning. It also provides comprehensive guidelines aimed at both teachers and students. Utilizing ChatGPT in education allows for personalized one-on-one assistance to students, addressing challenges posed by uneven distribution of educational resources and individual differences among students. Current research on applying ChatGPT in education mostly revolves around designing prompts to elicit specific responses or using generated content for evaluating its subject-specific capabilities. Given that ChatGPT is a more versatile form of artificial intelligence not limited to any particular domain, the article suggests that future research should focus more on integrating ChatGPT into existing educational systems, ensuring its consistent performance in specific tasks. Furthermore, considering ChatGPT's possibility of generating imprecise information, it is necessary to explore how to fine-tune ChatGPT using specialized databases, enabling it to generate reliable content in professional subject areas.
