ChatGPT for STEM Education : A Working Framework

Abstract

This paper sheds light on the possible use of most recent technology, ChatGPT in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Here we used the ChatGPT tool and explored how it can help teachers in STEM class. Our work first presented a literature work related to Chat GPT in terms of its use in education, explained generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ChatGPT. ChatGPT tool is used to generate responses to prompts given. We ask ChatGPT that how it can be used in class for teaching science, mathematics, and coding. After detailed analysis of the responses by ChatGPT we presented a theoretical framework for guiding the use of ChatGPT in STEM educational settings. Next, we presented limitations of using ChatGPT in educational context and highlighted the bottlenecks and ethical issues in using technologies like ChatGPT. Finally, we presented our future research directions and concluded that ChatGPT has a great potential in STEM education and can be used as an effective tool for STEM teachers. We also emphasized on the concerning ethical issues related to the technology.
