Abstract

This educational intervention study aimed to evaluate how the implementation of artificial intelligence tools, specifically ChatGPT, in project-based learning (PBL) in the subject of Communication in Veterinary Medicine, influences the quality of research projects and the resolution of clinical cases, as well as to analyze students’ perceptions and attitudes. A mixed design was used that combined quantitative and qualitative methods, selecting a sample of 109 students from a total of 160. Over six months, data were collected through surveys, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that 53.2% of students consider that ChatGPT improves their learning, 56% prefer Project-Based Learning over traditional methods, and 46.8% feel more motivated to participate thanks to this tool. The interviews revealed that students value the assistance of ChatGPT to clarify concepts and improve their work, although they also expressed concerns about dependence on this tool and the likelihood of obtaining incorrect information. Furthermore, the analysis of documents showed that the quality of research projects improved significantly after the use of ChatGPT, and the information presented in clinical cases showed a notable advance in writing. In conclusion, the study indicates that ChatGPT can enrich the educational process, improving the understanding of complex concepts and encouraging a critical approach to research, so constant support in its implementation is recommended to ensure effective learning and a collaborative environment
