Unreflected Acceptance - Investigating the Negative Consequences of ChatGPT-Assisted Problem Solving in Physics Education
This study investigates how university physics students interact with ChatGPT versus search engines when solving physics problems, finding that students overly trusted ChatGPT's incorrect answers and used copy-paste strategies 42% of the time, indicating limited critical reflection and cognitive offloading.
Large language models (LLMs) have recently gained popularity. However, the impact of their general availability through ChatGPT on sensitive areas of everyday life, such as education, remains unclear. Nevertheless, the societal impact on established educational methods is already being experienced by both students and educators. Our work focuses on higher physics education and examines problem solving strategies. In a study, students with a background in physics were assigned to solve physics ex
