Directions for the use of CHATGPT in higher education

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that seeks to develop systems that mimic or surpass human capabilities such as learning, reasoning, and adaptation. In the field of education, AI is creating new opportunities and pedagogical approaches, such as personalized learning, virtual teachers, and collaborative work. In this paper, we focus on some directions for the implementation of the teaching-learning process, with a particular focus on ChatGPT, which is a major disruptor in education.

1. What is chatgpt?

It is an AI-based language model (LLM) developed by OpenAI that is capable of creating texts similar to those created by humans, based on its extended access to a variety of text data. The tool is designed to interact through queues in the form of a conversation, like a "chat" system on the Internet. Thanks to the diversity of data, it is able to generate many answers and activities, such as tests, computer codes, and mathematics exams.

However, utilizing this kind of “conversation” entails challenges and risks in dimensions such as ethics, producing quality texts, understanding the type of technology, data privacy and security, and human-computer interaction (Dwivedi et.

It is therefore important to develop guidance for its use in order to improve the teaching-learning process for students and, on the other hand, minimize the risks of inappropriate use of this tool.

2. General guidelines for the use of chatgpt in education.

Below, we present some relevant aspects for teachers to consider for the appropriate use of the ChatGPT tool.

1. Fostering critical evaluation of information: Students should be aware that the information provided by CHATGPT may be inaccurate or biased, and should be encouraged to verify the data with multiple sources and critically reflect on the origin and quality of the information.
2. Promote Transparency: Encourage students to be transparent and clear in using CHATGPT, providing instructions, and evaluating the methodological process of the activity. Ensure that the generated text includes an appropriate agenda, such as “Chat-GPT-3.” Make sure it includes a consultation statement like "(Yyyy-dd)."
3. Use students to make good use of CHATGPT: If students provide questions that require minimal effort, there is a very good chance of getting low-quality results. Encourage students to improve their chatgpt questions to get better results. In addition, they should not share personal information or environment with the system.
4. Discuss ethical considerations: Promote awareness of the importance of ethics and authenticity in academic work through an open dialogue about curriculum responsibility and the development of professional skills and competencies.
5. Define the situation for using tracing tools: Warn students that they can use tracing software1 to check the similarities between their work and the text generated by ChatGPT. Consider that plagiarism detection tools are not fully effective.
6. West Writing and Critical Thinking Plagiarism undermines academic honesty and ethical principles. It is essential to enhance the development of writing and communication skills by promoting the use of CHATGPT as a complement, not a substitute, for critical thinking and writing.
7. This promotes the use of an active methodology: ChatGPT While AI can be effective in sparking ideas, its overuse can produce less creative and inaccurate information work. It is therefore important to promote active methodologies that develop students' higher cognitive abilities.
8. Beware of inequalities in CHATGPT use: Using CHATGPT in the classroom can exacerbate inequalities in learning, especially if not all students have access to or are comfortable with the technology. Teachers should consider these effects and strive to integrate technology and increase equity for students.

3. Use of Chatgpt in Teaching and Learning Activities at University

Chatgpt can perform many activities related to learning in higher education, such as writing essays, poems, adventure stories, writing programming code, writing emails, translating texts, improving the grammar of texts, creating learning examples, creating and solving math and science problems, searching and systematizing information, summarizing texts, etc. In the case of teaching, it can design drafts of activities and curriculum plans, general assessment instruments (rubrics, guideline checks), scripts for videos and presentations.

Given this new reality, teachers must position themselves as appropriate actors to critically interpret and learn from these information. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid open-ended general assignments and questions such as those published on the web and design more complex and contextual assignments: Create a task of creating a practical case based on the lesson activities and examples mentioned above.

There are several ways that university professors can adapt their teaching strategies to incorporate chatguts:

1. Facilitate discussions and debates: Teachers can present students with controversial issues and give them various arguments, which allows them to select, analyze and use information to participate in virtual discussions and debates.
2. Allow students to practice their language skills: They can practice their communication skills and writing in a foreign language and receive immediate feedback to improve their performance.
3. Facilitate group projects: By allowing students to collaborate on tasks, set activities, look for related information and improve their writing goals, they can work in groups and complete projects efficiently.
4. Make lessons interactive: Use a variety of materials, including books, audio and video, to keep students interested. Take advantage of platforms and technology, and provide feedback and questions that encourage discussion.
5. Help students prepare for exams: This allows students to practice and understand key concepts and identify their own problem areas.
6. Create discussion questions.
