Exploring the potential of using ChatGPT in physics education
This paper explores ChatGPT's capability to solve physics calculation problems at the high school level, demonstrating its ability to provide step-by-step solutions, explain reasoning, and generate practice exercises. The study evaluates ChatGPT's performance on physics problems using prompting techniques like chain-of-thought reasoning.
The pretrained large language models have been widely tested for their performance on some challenging tasks including arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning. Recently how to combine LLMs with prompting techniques has attracted lots of researchers to propose their models to automatically solve math word problems. However, most research works focus on solving math problems at the elementary school level and few works aim to solve problems in science disciplines, e.g., Physics. In this ex
