Abstract
The research analyzes the impact of ChatGPT on the development of investigative competencies in students of regular basic education, focusing on three main aspects: its role in information retrieval, its contribution to the generation of accurate and relevant content, and its usability in fostering investigative skills. An experimental design was applied to a sample of 100 students, with 50 students using ChatGPT during the development of learning sessions and a control group of 50 students conducting their sessions through traditional methods. The students developed research projects evaluated according to six key criteria: coherence, precision, originality, content depth, problem-solving ability, and source management. Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in coherence, precision, and originality. However, the control group showed better performance in source management, suggesting that traditional methodologies remain more effective for handling bibliographic references and searching for reliable sources. Regarding content depth and problem-solving ability, both groups achieved similar results, with a slight advantage observed in the experimental group. In summary, ChatGPT improves students’ coherence, precision, and originality in research tasks. Nonetheless, it is recommended to integrate its use with traditional methods to strengthen source management and ensure the comprehensive development of investigative competencies, promoting the ethical and responsible use of technology.
