The following is excerpted from an online article posted by Pew Research Center.
As debates continue over whether chatbots should have a role in the classroom, more teens are turning to ChatGPT to help with schoolwork.
The share of teens who say they use ChatGPT for their schoolwork has risen to 26%, according to a Pew Research Center survey of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17. That’s up from 13% in 2023.
Still, most teens (73%) have not used the chatbot in this way.
Teens show far more support for using ChatGPT for certain school tasks than for others.
Just over half of teens say it’s acceptable to use ChatGPT to research new topics (54%). Only 9% say it is not acceptable to use it for this.
Far fewer support using the chatbot to do math or write essays:
- 29% of teens say it’s acceptable to use ChatGPT to solve math problems, while 28% say it’s not acceptable.
- 18% say it’s acceptable to use ChatGPT to write essays, and 42% say it’s not acceptable.
Another 15% to 21% of teens are unsure whether it’s acceptable to use ChatGPT for these tasks.
