The Advantages and Disadvantages of ChatGPT in Humanities, Social Sciences and STEM Education: From a Comparative Perspective
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
ChatGPT is a powerful language model capable of understanding and generating human language. The increasing number of students utilizing ChatGPT to support their academic endeavors has gained prominence, prompting discussions surrounding technology and its impact on education. With the emerging trend of ChatGPT, students now could enjoy a great deal of conveniences, but there are also a number of problems while using ChatGPT. Despite extensive research investigating the correlation between ChatGPT and education, there remains a notable gap in comprehensively examining the similarities and differences concerning the benefits and drawbacks of humanities, social sciences compared to STEM fields. This research intends to delve into these domains, employing qualitative analysis to acquire pertinent data. This research will be rested on cognitivism theory and the methodological approach will be aligned to the theory. This approach involves a combination of an open-ended survey and semi-structured interviews for high school and undergraduate students to holistically explore these facets. The finding of this research might enlighten some students in using technological tools in their study in the future.
