Artificial intelligence in education: A SWOT analysis of ChatGPT and its implications for practice and research

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing education, and at the forefront, tools like ChatGPT are helping to enhance personalized support in education and learning. This research does a SWOT analysis in relation to the role that ChatGPT can play in educational contexts and tries to arrive at implications toward practice and research issues that remain unaddressed. One of the strengths of ChatGPT is that it can provide quick, available, and customized responses for making learning experiences better through tailored tutoring and effective support. It allows educators to provide differentiated instruction and students to get real-time feedback for autonomous learning. However, there are still weaknesses like it may generate inaccurate/biased information sometimes, and the area of making AI understand the underlying nuances of a range of different educational contexts. This has the potential to challenge educational integrity and outcomes if not handled carefully. ChatGPT will fill the gaps for the availability of resources and service-driven scalability with various learning needs for improving the curriculum, professional development, and inclusive education. Furthermore, the more developments this gets from AI, the more reliable it will be as an educational tool. On the other hand, possible over-reliance on AI and its application can further reduce critical thinking and human interaction in a learning environment. Other threats include issues of ethical concern, such as data privacy and the possibility of misuse. This demonstrates the continued need for research and cautious implementation so that ChatGPT adds to, rather than detracts from, good educational practice.

4.1 Introduction

Any intrusion of artificial intelligence into education has been quick to reform pedagogical practices of recent years and bequeath modern times with unprecedented opportunities and challenges (Adeshola & Adepoju, 2023; Dempere et al., 2023; Firat, 2023). Of the different tools driven by AI, OpenAI's ChatGPT has, of late, been in the limelight due to its potential to revolutionize teaching and learning. Being a conversational AI, ChatGPT was designed to support personalized assistance by simulating human-like interactions, generating content, and responding swiftly to queries. It has made it penetrate different levels of the educational set-up, starting from supporting instruction in classrooms to independent learning (Hong, 2023; Halaweh, 2023; Rahman & Watanobe, 2023). The inclusion of AI technologies like ChatGPT immediately raises key questions about strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with using them in education. While promising much in the way of scalability, access, and personalization of learning, ChatGPT has a great deal to do with the challenges of accuracy and ethics, not to mention the threats from its misuse (Rahman & Watanobe, 2023; Castillo et al., 2023; Lo, 2023). It is in this that educator, policy framers, and researchers understand these factors to effectively harness AI in educational contexts. This research discusses the SWOT analysis of ChatGPT in the educational sector with regard to its implications for practice and research. The contribution has taken a detailed look at the strengths and opportunities brought in by ChatGPT and weighed these against the weaknesses and threats in order to argue a holistic view on the way in which such an AI tool might be optimized for educational use. It also intends to underline areas from which more research might be needed to take up the challenges from AI in education and also to probe innovative applications able to improve learning outcomes.

4.2 Strengths of ChatGPT in Education

Among other priorities, the most prominent strengths of ChatGPT lie within those aspects of education that can be tailored to offer students personalized learning experiences (Baidoo-Anu & Ansah, 2023; Zhai, 2022; Yu, 2023). Whereas in a classroom, a teacher aims to bring down the concepts, different students may be experiencing severe difficulties in understanding the idea due to time constraints and reduced understanding levels (Lo, 2023; Opara et al., 2023). ChatGPT may be used to bridge this gap by having customized teaching content at one's speed and style of learning. For instance, students who may need more time to comprehend certain ideas can use ChatGPT to learn at their own pace, while the brightest can be challenged with more advanced topics. On this front, this level of personalization allows for all students to arrive at a deeper understanding of the subject material at hand, therefore enhancing overall educational outcomes. Additionally, ChatGPT can further contribute to pupils gaining a deeper understanding of certain complex subjects. This module can break down very complex topics into smaller, more digestible pieces of information, making the understanding of difficult concepts easier for the student. On the other hand, it permits questions to be asked and immediate feedback to be received, thus allowing for the clarification of doubts without having to wait for a teacher's availability. This instant feedback loop is, in fact, very important for reinforcing learning and ensuring that students are not lagging behind. Moreover, the fact that it can explain things in different ways—for example, giving examples, drawing analogies, or providing guides step by step—answers learning preferences, thus fitting the role in personalized education.

The second critical strength is how ChatGPT would relieve the teachers in education (Lo, 2023; Opara et al., 2023). Teachers are challenged with preparing lessons, grading assignments, and giving feedback, all of this managing a class full of students. ChatGPT can help to mitigate some of these burdens by allowing teachers to automate routine activities so that they can focus their effort on other impactful parts of the job: keeping students engaged and curriculum development (Zhai, 2022; Yu, 2023; Grassini, 2023; Elbanna & Armstrong, 2024;. For instance, it can support the planning of a lesson draft in the flowing of ideas, structuring of lessons, and coming up with activities that will meet the standard criteria of educational set standards. Moreover, it may grade preliminary remarks on student's work, constructively giving feedback and knowing areas where they may need extra help. This frees the teacher to handle such tasks and teach more directly or create an encouraging atmosphere while teaching. Apart from assisting teachers, ChatGPT makes education more accessible. The second-biggest challenge facing education must be how to ensure that all learners, irrespective of their background or condition, get quality learning resources. ChatGPT is an online tool that could be able to reach students in remote or underserved areas where educational resources might be limited. This will also grant access to an enormous extent of information and learning materials for the students to keep learning, even in the absence of classrooms. More importantly, considering the situation that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, when remote learning became a core activity, ChatGPT shall ensure that learning is not disrupted by continuing education outside the traditional classroom, hence closing the digital divide in education (Božić & Poola, 2023; Mhlanga, 2023; Adeshola & Adepoju, 2023).

Moreover, ChatGPT is accessible not just across geographical areas but also across differently abled learning needs (Elbanna & Armstrong, 2024; Lee, 2024). In the case of students with disabilities, ChatGPT can become a very important tool. For example, it can read out text to visually challenged students, help out students with learning disabilities by simplifying some tough concepts, and so on. This is a great leap towards making education more equitable and provides all students with an opportunity to excel. Another strength ChatGPT brings to education is the enhancement of critical thinking and creativity. Traditional education has been highly biased towards rote learning; in contrast, ChatGPT makes sure that students get actively involved with the subject matter. Exploring different perspectives promotes a more analytical mindset in students and gets them to think critically about anything they learn from the solution. For example, when students get engaged with ChatGPT in solving a problem or discussing some topics, they are drawn into much deeper thinking beyond the surface about the principles lying underneath or alternative viewpoints. This would enhance not only their subject knowledge but also the problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which become very important in today's fast-moving world.

Moreover, ChatGPT can spur creativity by getting students to come up with new ideas and think outside of the box (Božić & Poola, 2023; Mhlanga, 2023). Starting from creative writing prompts and generating brain storming project ideas to innovative solutions for problems, ChatGPT acts as a catalyst for creative thinking. This is particularly valuable in subject areas that involve a large component of creativity, for example in the arts or in entrepreneurship. By giving the students a platform on which to toy around with ideas and get instant feedback, ChatGPT inculcates a culture of innovation and creativity in education. Within lifelong learning, ChatGPT serves as a crucial tool in supporting continuous education beyond the classroom. The needs for lifelong learning increase colossally in today's economy, which is knowledge-based. One has to constantly upgrade his or her skills and knowledge if he or she is to compete for opportunities in the job market. ChatGPT makes this possible by offering on-demand learning materials targeted at adults who want to acquire a new skill or learn more in a certain area. From learning a new language to acquiring technical skills and catching up with industry trends, ChatGPT makes this easier and more accessible, providing the individual with many opportunities for learning throughout life.

Educators can effectively use the tool to improve their teaching methodologies and develop new skills for further professional growth, which will eventually benefit students. While the strengths of ChatGPT in education are enormous, there is a need for responsible usage and integration of this technology. It will be on the shoulders of educators and institutions to ensure that ChatGPT works in support and not to the detriment of traditional teaching methods. No machine can ever replace a human element empathy, emotional intelligence, and personal interaction while imparting an education. View ChatGPT as a tool that supports and boosts the educational experience where needed, allowing for teachers to spend more time dealing with the human factors of education which technology has yet to duplicate.

4.3 Weaknesses of ChatGPT in Education

One of OpenAI's brain children in artificial intelligence language models is ChatGPT, which has attracted a lot of attention and use in educational circles. Much as it has manifold benefits, like any other tool, it comes with weaknesses that call for caution on the part of all educational stakeholders: educators, students, and policymakers. Such weaknesses are related to accuracy, ethical dilemmas, dependence, pedagogical implications, and other challenges that have posed implementation difficulties in AI in education.

Accuracy and Reliability Issues

One of the chief weaknesses of ChatGPT in education is the model's accuracy and reliability. Even though the model is trained on vast amounts of data, it does not really understand the information it provides to the learner. It responds by learning patterns during training, which might lead to spreading wrong or misleading information when the model confidently presents its output as factual. This can lead to serious consequences in educational contexts, where accuracy is paramount. For example, students might insert the tool's wrong information into the assignments, which would cause misapprehension and entail poor grades for them. Moreover, while relying on ChatGPT, an educator might unsuspectingly include mistakes in the teaching material, hence compromising the quality of education.

Lack of Critical Thinking and Analysis

On a fundamental level, ChatGPT is a pattern-recognition tool that does an excellent job of generating answers that seem human-like—it simply lacks the ability for critical thinking or deep analysis. In education, one of the key goals is to develop critical thinking, a capacity seriously eroded by a reliance on ChatGPT. Tipped into habitual reliance on ChatGPT, students may become accustomed to receiving ready-made answers without having gone through the cognitive processes involved in deep learning. This could erode, in the long term, the student's faculties for critical appraisal of information, reasoning through complex problems, and working out ideas that are original. Hence, ChatGPT can inadvertently add to the decline in the quality of learning and student intellectual growth.

Ethical Concerns and Bias

AI models such as ChatGPT are also not immune to the biases present in their training data. These biases could manifest in anything from subtle language patterns to more obvious discriminatory statements. Within an educational context, this becomes worrying; the repetition may underline and multiply kinds of bias and inequality that already characterize society. For example, in times when the student is asking something about historical events or social issues to ChatGPT, the answer might include biased perspectives, consequently leading the student to gain a prejudiced understanding of the topic under consideration. This process might only further stereotype, thus impeding the target to create a more inclusive and just learning environment. In addition, there is no transparency into how these models arrive at these conclusions, and hence it is hard for users to identify and correct biased responses.

Dependency and Lowered Self-Reliance

Another major weakness for ChatGPT in education is the tendency for students to learn to depend on it too much in order to finish tasks. While this tool may be instrumental in the provocation of ideas or in answering questions and even providing writing assistance, there is the fear that students may rely on it to the point at which they no longer make an effort to develop any skills of their own. For instance, a student can allow ChatGPT to write essays or solve math problems for them without really comprehending the ideas behind those disciplines. This can lead to superficiality in grasping subjects and a loss in self-reliance that is important in academic progress and lifelong learning. Instructors have to be cognizant of this and ensure that AI is taught as an auxiliary tool and not as a crutch.

Impersonal Learning Experience

Education is not about just knowledge; it embodies personal growth, social interaction, and emotional development. Helped out by its algorithms, ChatGPT is able to dispense information but not engage with students at a personal level. It can't feel or respond to the feeling of a student's question and can't offer encouragement, empathy, or motivation like a human teacher. That might be one very impersonal breed of experience about AI in education—like making a transaction that would make the experience less engaging for the student. This could eventually lead to a lack of interest in learning and a feeling of being cut off among students who are highly dependent on AI to fulfill their learning needs.

Issues with Assessment of Students' Comprehension

Assessment can be referred to as the lifeblood of education. Through assessment, continuous in nature, an educator can come to know whether the student has grasped and imbibed the concepts of the lesson being delivered. The deployment of ChatGPT challenges this very area. In the event students are using AI as a means to complete assignments and pass exams, then it becomes quite challenging to distinguish between genuine understanding and parroting information spat out by the model. This complicates assessment and might cause distortion in a student's abilities. It places questions on academic integrity, where the line blurs between rightful assistance and cheating.

Data Privacy and Security Concerns

Finally, there are considerable data privacy and security concerns in the incorporation of AI tools like ChatGPT into education. Every time students turn to AI platforms, they usually fill in personal information, academic work, and other sensitive data that could be compromised or abused in a case where the platform does not have properly laid-down security measures. This has been a very important issue in an educational setup where the privacy of students and keeping their work under wraps is paramount. The data security policies and practices that schools and other learning institutions observe ought to be vigilant with any AI tool brought on board for use to ensure student information security.

Lack of Contextual Understanding

ChatGPT can be clever enough to answer relevantly and coherently, but frequently has no deep contextual understanding about what it discusses. Technical correctness may thus come at the cost of proper contextualization or completeness of response. This can be very challenging in educational contexts where the context is especially relevant for proper understanding and learning. For example, on a math problem, ChatGPT will answer correctly but never comment to the learner about the underlying principles in ways a particular student will understand. This utter lack of contextual sensitivity makes it very difficult for the AI to tailor-make its responses according to individual students' needs and backgrounds, which is actually a very critical part of teaching.

Fig. 4.1 Sankey diagram of a SWOT analysis of ChatGPT in education

Potential for Abuse and Plagiarism

How easy it is to log onto ChatGPT, and how fast and effortless content generation is, beg the question of its potential for being misused in the form of plagiarism. In this regard, students could get tempted to use ChatGPT for essays, research papers, and other tasks without properly attributing the work, which raises academic dishonesty concerns. This does not just undercut the educational process; rather, it devalues other students' hard work and original thought. Further, the general application of AI content generator will eventually make it harder for educators to determine a student's original work from those constructed by AI, hence probably creating problems in maintaining academic honesty.

Interdisciplinary Learning with Limitations

Today, increasing emphasis in education is toward interdisciplinary learning, in which students are motivated to make connections across different subjects and apply knowledge in a variety of contexts. However, the way that ChatGPT was designed to process—and thus produce—information can be very compartmentalized, not fully integrated across the disciplines. For example, it could give great answers to a historical question but can't seem to connect that information to contemporary issues in society or scientific principles. In that respect, students cannot begin to think holistically toward a more integrated understanding of complex subjects. The requirement for continuous human oversight, finally, comes as one of the major weaknesses of ChatGPT in education. In spite of its strengths, the model of AI can never be perfect and requires close monitoring to ensure it works effectively and ethically. There should be a close watch by educators over the information and content generated by ChatGPT with regard to its accuracy and appropriateness. This need for oversight can be time-consuming and might offset some of the efficiencies that AI is supposed to bring to the educational process. Moreover, it illustrates that AI can never replace a human teacher who brings in his/her essential judgment, empathy, and contextual understanding into the learning environment.

4.4 Opportunities for ChatGPT in Education

One of the greatest opportunities that ChatGPT brings to education is its capacity for personalized learning. A lot of difficulties exist in the traditional classroom setup, because of the constraints of time and the number of learners. ChatGPT can, however, give personalized learning experiences according to its capability because of the design of the program: it adjusts to the pacing and style of each learner. For instance, students who face a problem understanding a particular concept can be taken for one-on-one tuition with ChatGPT, which will help with an explanation, examples, and exercises suitable for the learning style of the student and level of understanding. This makes the learning process so much more delightful and nourishes a more engaging and motivating learning atmosphere.

Lastly, ChatGPT can play a major role in filling the gap between formal education and informal learning. Often, students just want some assistance outside of the classroom: with homework, preparation for a test, or learning a little bit more about a topic of interest. ChatGPT would thus become a reliable and available tool for any student at any time, providing instantaneous feedback and guidance. This 24/7 availability is particularly beneficial for the students who do not have an opportunity to refer to classical tutoring or those who may prefer to learn at their convenient time, when off from school hours. In supplementing that kind of formal education with support throughout the day and on order, ChatGPT has the potential to lead to realize reinforced learning outcomes.

More specifically, ChatGPT assures great help not only to students but also to educators. A major part of the teachers' time is invested in lesson preparation, grading, and giving feedback to the students, which takes attention away from the quality of instructions. ChatGPT can help ease a bit of this workload by automating routine tasks. It can help grade assignments but is especially helpful in language arts studies, which are normally essay-based and therefore lengthy to grade because of the subjective nature. It can evaluate grammar, coherence, and argument structure, giving at least the initial marks that an instructor can fine-tune thereafter. This not only saves a lot of time but also gives more engagement to instructors for tasks of teaching, such as blueprinting creative lesson plans and involving students in deeper critical thinking.

In addition, ChatGPT can collaborate to help in curriculum development. ChatGPT can propose improvements in the curriculum through its ability to analyze massive amounts of educational content and also identify gaps that exist in the material that need to be filled. It can also generate diverse educational resources suitable for the needs of many classrooms, including but not limited to quizzes, flashcards, or other kinds of interactive exercises. Such scale-related generation is particularly useful in subjects where information is crucially necessary to remain up-to-date, for instance, in technology or science. ChatGPT can assist educators in following up on the trends existing currently in these areas and incorporating them into teaching so that the students get an updated and relevant mode of education.

Another key opportunity that ChatGPT helps in education is accessibility. Education systems all over the world are usually hard-pressed to fit in equal opportunities for learning for all sets of students who could be suffering from any disability or those speaking other languages. On the other hand, it can also make education more inclusive. For learners with disabilities, ChatGPT could be incorporated into assistive technologies for education. Voice-activated versions of ChatGPT could link these visually impaired students to educational materials and provide opportunities for real-time text-based communication for the hard-of-hearing ones. Likewise, ChatGPT would be a good facilitator for societies with non-native speakers, as it allows this group to learn complex things in their simpler, easier language, thereby making education more reachable for all people around the globe.

Apart from being a tool to make learning easier for disabled students, ChatGPT can help in bridging the gap of communication problems in schools. In a multilingual classroom setting, it is hard to teach uniformly due to the wide range of students' fluency. The vast potential of ChatGPT, with language translation capabilities, will be maximized to foster real-time translation and explanations in native languages of the students. This makes it possible for all students to engage fully and realize maximum benefits from activities conducted in education, regardless of their linguistic background. In addition, the application can be aimed at developing language learning applications that will promote the effective acquisition of a second language by students to ensure they have better and more efficient communication skills, making them more globally competitive.

Although this opens up a lot of possibilities, the integration of ChatGPT into education also comes with some challenge. The major concern is the accuracy and reliability of the information from the AI. Though ChatGPT has been trained on massive datasets, it proves to be infallible, occasionally generating incorrect or misleading information. The situation just worsens for fields like education, for which niceties are critical to a student's success. As such, ChatGPT should be used in a much more assistive role in educational settings. The information provided using ChatGPT must be cross-checked and its credibility established by teachers and students through other sources, and a critical eye has to be kept in view of the information being so cited. The use of ChatGPT raises questions regarding data privacy, especially in sharing sensitive information with the deployed AI. It would be very imperative to first ensure that student data is not in any way exposed in using ChatGPT, thus in a manner compatible with the current privacy regulations—the maintenance of the trust of the students. Another is the fact that, with overuse of AI, the personal touch of human educators and human connections that make up education will be lost. In fact, there has to be a balance to be struck, which can use the advantages of ChatGPT without diluting the very human characteristics that define good education.

The integration of ChatGPT into education has a requirement to be approached from an equity perspective. It can be concluded that while ChatGPT would enhance learning for many students, not serving equal access to all would possibly widen the digital gap. Schools and educational institutions must verify that ChatGPT is accessible to every learner, ensuring that it does not add to the existing gap. This may involve providing necessary hardware, internet access, and training to students and educators alike.

4.5 Threats of ChatGPT in Education

The one very serious threat that ChatGPT poses to the educational sector is academic integrity. ChatGPT can generate coherent, sophisticated text on any issue, which students can misuse to come up with their own version of assignments, essays, and any other academic kind of work. This could lead to an increased level of plagiarism and eventual deterioration of the whole educational process due to greater instances of cheating. Educators challenges have increased with the growing phrase of AI-powered content that is continuously making an attempt to be indistinguishable from the normal human-crafted work. Plagiarism detection mechanisms critically depend on the detection of matching text from known source materials, and this mechanism is rather weak when faced with AI-generated content. It is therefore quite easy for students to outwit the system without the educator's knowledge.
