Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence is an opportunity to improve learning processes, especially in a world where information is increasing every day, and tools are required that favor its processing and pedagogical use. Consequently, the objective of this research is to analyze the incidence of the use of ChatGPT as a pedagogical tool through the Project Based Learning methodology. The study was carried out based on a quasi-experimental research design, which evaluated the performance of a learning activity of the subject of Entrepreneurship and Management, for which two groups were formed, one of which was an experiment that used ChatGPT for the development of the activity, and another control, which carried out the activity in a traditional way without the use of technology. The sample was non-probabilistic of a conventional type, corresponding to 80 tertiary high school students. According to the results obtained, the effectiveness of the use of ChatGPT as a pedagogical tool in the context of Project Based Learning is significantly visualized. The experiment group, which used ChatGPT for the development of the learning activity in the Entrepreneurship and Management subject, exhibited noticeably higher performance in each of the indicators studied compared to the control group, concluding that the use of technology provides valuable perspectives to improve teaching strategies in the field of Entrepreneurship and Management.
