O CHATGPT como recurso nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem: sob a ótica de professores e alunos de uma Rede de Educação Básica Privada

Abstract

This research aims to verify how the use of ChatGPT occurs in Basic Education based on the perceptions of students and teachers at Colégio Loyola, a private school in Belo Horizonte. The theoretical framework addresses the following topics: artificial intelligence, 21st-century education, artificial intelligence in education, ChatGPT, the role of the teacher, and management in innovative pedagogical practices. The research, which combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, used a questionnaire as a data collection instrument and involved 7th-grade students from Middle School II and their teachers as participants. The research reveals that ChatGPT can be a useful tool to assist in the learning and teaching of various subjects, providing quick responses and facilitating the compilation of ideas. However, it also points out challenges, such as the need for ethical regulations and concerns about the possible atrophy of students' intelligence due to excessive dependence on Artificial Intelligence. The study concludes that, although ChatGPT has great potential as an educational resource, its use must be critical and conscious. The tool should be integrated in a way that complements traditional teaching, promoting reflection and critical thinking among students. This dissertation can contribute to understanding how emerging technologies like ChatGPT can be applied in basic education, offering valuable insights for educators and educational policymakers.
