Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, natural language processing models like ChatGPT hold creative potential for applications in education. This study focuses on ChatGPT and explores its applications in the field of education. This research employs literature review and case analysis methods to systematically investigate the applications of ChatGPT in instructional assistance, personalized education, and writing support. By analyzing three cases involving ChatGPT's professional competence in medical exams, the construction of personalized learning systems, and writing support, the paper emphasizes ChatGPT's advantages in education, future development directions, as well as ethical and privacy concerns. The study finds that ChatGPT possesses strong semantic understanding and analytical capabilities. Within the context of general applicability, it can provide accurate answers to questions posed by users with certain specialized backgrounds. The paper not only addresses ChatGPT's role as a student's auxiliary tool but also explores collaborative models between ChatGPT and teachers. However, it's important to note that ChatGPT currently has limitations in terms of limited knowledge and inadequate emotional understanding. Additionally, in terms of ethics and privacy, considerations regarding information protection and moral aspects within the educational application of ChatGPT are crucial. In the future, it's worth further exploring specialized models for ChatGPT's tasks in both teacher and student roles, along with enhancing ChatGPT's emotional support capabilities.
