Abstract

The following article presents a conceptual framework regarding artificial intelligence, a description of what ChatGPT is, its impact on education since its launch, as well as a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of AI in learning of concepts and/or mathematical notions. As a result of this analysis, a didactic proposal is proposed that consists of an independent work guide that involves interactive discussion and problem solving using ChatGPT, to cover the contents related to the linear function of the 10th level of the mathematics study program according to the Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica. An overview of the implications of using ChatGPT in the study of the linear function and the challenges that arise when trying to implement it in the Costa Rican educational system is presented. In addition, the experience on the application of the proposal in an institution located in Cartago on two occasions is described; the first one helped to make improvements in the proposal. It is highlighted that the use of tools such as ChatGPT provides student support to improve the understanding of the contents; however, it does not replace the work done by a teacher and the attention that it can provide.
