Chatbots in education: Outperforming students but perceived as less trustworthy
In recent years, chatbots have emerged as potential individual assistance systems in educational settings. However, their successful implementation depends on their ability to deliver high-quality outcomes and gain students’ trust. Against this background, this study investigated the perceived trustworthiness of chatbots in nursing education and whether this trust was justified in light of chatbots’ actual performance in care plan creation. We conducted a study with 189 vocational nursing students who created medical care plans under two conditions: without ChatGPT (GPT-4) and with ChatGPT assistance. Additionally, ChatGPT was used to develop care plans without student involvement. Expert evaluations of these care plans allowed us to compare quality across conditions. We also examined students’ trust by having them evaluate another care plan before and after experimentally manipulating information about its source (chatbot or peer-generated). Statistical analyses revealed that source disclosure significantly affected students’ trust: Care plans believed to be chatbot-generated experienced a significant decrease in trust, while those attributed to peers showed no significant change. However, analyses of expert evaluations showed that ChatGPT-generated plans were of higher quality than those created by students, even when students used ChatGPT assistance. This discrepancy between perceived trustworthiness and actual performance of chatbots indicates that students’ skepticism toward chatbot-generated content is, to some extent, exaggerated. While ChatGPT can enhance students’ care plan quality, our findings emphasize the importance of addressing trust issues in educational settings where chatbots are implemented.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Educational Psychology is a scholarly journal that publishes empirical research from various parts of the world. The research aims to substantially advance, extend, or re-envision the ongoing discourse in educational psychology research and practice. To be considered for publication, manuscripts must be well-grounded in a comprehensive theoretical and empirical framework. This framework should raise critical and timely questions that educational psychology currently faces. Additionally, the questions asked should be closely related to the chosen methodological approach, and the authors should provide actionable implications for education research and practice. The journal seeks to publish manuscripts that offer cutting-edge theoretical and methodological perspectives on critical and timely education questions.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Contents Pages in Education, Australian Educational Index, Current Contents, EBSCOhost, Education Index, ERA, PsycINFO, Sociology of Education Abstracts, PubMed/Medline, BIOSIS Previews, and others.
