Parents' views on the use of AI-based chatbots such as ChatGPT in High School (STEM) education

As digital technology becomes increasingly available in education, educational researchers around the globe increasingly have to confront how it may affect school students’ academic success. To summarize, the survey I conducted revealed that parents generally hold a positive view of integrating AI-based chatbots such as ChatGPT into high school STEM education, with most believing it enhances learning and should be part of the STEM curriculum. However, the participants’ views diverged on the broader use of such chatbots in high school education, with mixed stances on their impact and adoption in all high school subjects. Moreover, a correlation analysis revealed links between participants’ views on the use of AI-based chatbots in high school education and their geographical origin, as well as their self-evaluated knowledge about the use of such chatbots.
