High school students who used ChatGPT for math practice performed worse on math tests than students who did not have this opportunity. Despite the fact that the chatbot users solved 48% more practice problems, they ended up with 17% worse results on the test on the subject.
At the same time, students who used artificial intelligence as a tutor were able to cope better with practical tasks, solving 127% more problems than students who did not use such assistance. The results of the study were published by the publication Неchingerreport.
Researchers believe that the problem is that students use ChatGPT as a crutch. When the researchers analyzed the questions that teenagers entered into the chatbot, it turned out that students most often just asked for an answer. Therefore, children did not develop skills that resulted from independent problem solving.
At the same time, ChatGPT's errors could have been a problem. In particular, it gave correct answers to math problems only in half of the cases. In addition, the AI's arithmetic calculations were wrong in 8% of cases, but the bigger problem was that its step-by-step approach to solving the problem was wrong in 42% of cases.
The study involved almost a thousand students from grades 9 to 11 in the fall of 2023. Teachers first reviewed a previously conducted lesson with the entire class, and then their classes were randomly assigned to practice math in one of three ways: with access to ChatGPT, with access to a ChatGPT-based AI tutor, or without any high-tech tools at all. Students in each class were given the same practice problems with or without AI, and then took a test to see how well they understood the concept.
In the surveys accompanying the experiment, students said that they did not think ChatGPT made them study less, although it did.
