Materials and Methods
1. The Main Difficulties Faced by Teachers in Using ChatGPT in Higher Education
| Difficulty | Description | References |
| Academic Plagiarism | The ease of generating texts with ChatGPT can lead to increased plagiarism among students. | Martins et al. (2024); Sabzalieva and Valentini (2023) |
| Reduction of Critical Thinking | Over-reliance on ChatGPT may decrease the development of critical and reflective skills in students. | Ganascia (2018); Gabriela (2023) |
| Inequality in Access | Students without access to advanced technology may be at a disadvantage, exacerbating existing inequalities. | UNESCO (2022) |
| Lack of Training | Many teachers feel they do not have adequate training to integrate and monitor the use of AI in teaching practices. | Miao (2019); Gabriela (2023) |
| Ethical Uncertainties | The lack of clear guidelines on the ethical use of ChatGPT raises concerns about privacy and responsible use of AI. | Williamson (2023); UNESCO (2023) |
| Technological Dependence | Over-reliance on AI can lead students to rely more on technology than on their own analytical and creative capabilities. | Sabzalieva and Valentini (2023); Gabriela (2023) |
| Adaptation to Innovations | Teachers have difficulty quickly adapting their pedagogical practices to new technologies and constant updates to ChatGPT. | Martins et al. (2024); Miao (2019) |
| Time Management | Integrating AI into educational activities can increase teachers’ workload due to the need to monitor and evaluate usage. | Martins et al. (2024); Gabriela (2023) |
2. Effective Pedagogical Strategies to Mitigate the Negative Impacts of Chatgpt
| Pedagogical Strategy | Description | Source |
| Creating Custom Assessments | Develop unique tests and assignments for each student, making it difficult to reproduce answers generated by ChatGPT. | (UNESCO, 2022) |
| Encouraging Critical Thinking | Promote debates and analyses that stimulate reflection and active participation among students. | (Ganascia, 2018) |
| Using Plagiarism Detection Tools | Implement software that detects copies and fraud by identifying AI-generated texts. | (Sabzalieva and Valentini, 2023) |
| Continuing Education for Teachers | Offer courses on the ethical and responsible use of AI, enabling teachers to deal with new technologies. | (Miao, 2019) |
| Education on Ethics and Plagiarism | Implement educational modules that address ethics in the use of technologies and the consequences of plagiarism. | (UNESCO, 2023) |
| Development of Research Skills | Teach advanced research and academic writing techniques, promoting the production of high-quality original work. | (Ganascia, 2018) |
3. Practical Recommendations for Teachers to Adopt in Their Pedagogical Practices Aiming to Prevent Academic Plagiarism
| Strategy | Description | Reference |
| Classwork and Oral Assessments | Prioritize assessments that require student presence and active participation, such as oral presentations. | Srivastava (2023) |
| Promoting Critical Engagement | Promote debates and analyses that stimulate students’ reflection and critical thinking. | Zhai (2022) |
| Integration of Practical Activities | Include projects that require practical application of knowledge, making it difficult to plagiarize. | Lock (2024) |
| Continuous and Individualized Feedback | Provide continuous, individualized feedback, identifying changes in writing style that may indicate AI use. | Gabriela (2023) |
