Abstract:
The technological revolution promoted in particular by the use of artificial intelligence had a significant impact on education as well. One of the most important contributions of artificial intelligence in teaching is the personalization of learning. One of the most advanced AI tools is ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI that is capable of generating coherent text and answering questions based on existing information. ChatGPT can serve as a virtual teaching assistant, providing personalized explanations to students. Students can ask specific questions related to the physical concepts they are studying and ChatGPT provides detailed answers tailored to their level of understanding. Another advantage of using ChatGPT is its ability to provide real-time support. ChatGPT can generate personalized problems and exercises for students. Teachers can use ChatGPT to create problem sets that cover different levels of difficulty and focus on areas where students need more practice. By integrating this advanced artificial intelligence tool into the physics instruction process, teachers can create a more interactive and tailored learning environment for each student, thereby contributing to a deeper and more effective understanding of physics. Although ChatGPT is an advanced language model, it can also generate inaccurate or erroneous answers due to training data limitations, misinterpretation of questions, lack of contextual knowledge, limited numerical ability and reasoning errors. This paper presents how ChatGPT can be used in the physics training process to consolidate and reinforce physics knowledge, develop intermediate-level physics problem-solving skills, and stimulate students' critical thinking through individual and collaborative activities.
