O uso da Inteligência Artificial no ensino de porcentagem: uma proposta com o ChatGPT no 1º ano do ensino médio

Abstract

This article investigates the impact of using Artificial Intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, as a support tool in learning percentages applied to financial education, in a 1st-year high school class at Demerval Lobão School. The objective of the research was to investigate the potential of ChatGPT in consolidating and deepening the ability to solve problems involving percentages. The research, which used a qualitative-quantitative approach, involved 20 students divided into two groups: one with direct support from the teacher, via progressive tips, and the other using ChatGPT. The methodology included a pre-test, intervention with five contextualized questions (discounts, interest, commissions), and a post-test, in addition to a questionnaire about the experience. The results show progress in both groups, with greater advancement in the teacher group, which presented more detailed answers, while the ChatGPT group had smaller gains, with a tendency to use ready-made answers. It is concluded that ChatGPT is promising, but requires teacher mediation to ensure deep learning and ethical use.
