THE USE OF AI (CHAT GPT) IN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT
The world of education is rapidly changing, and new technologies have been introduced to help school administrators manage their schools better. One technology that has gained a lot of attention in recent years is artificial intelligence (AI). AI has been used in various industries to improve efficiency, productivity, and accuracy. And now, it's finding its way into the world of school administration.
One of the leading AI technologies in the market today is Chat GPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI based on the GPT-3.5 architecture. Chat GPT can understand natural language and generate responses, making it an excellent tool for school administrators to communicate with teachers, parents, and students. Since I came across this technology in January 2023, it has made a lot of difference in the way I do my administration. It was launched in the latter part of 2022.
One of the most significant applications of Chat GPT in school administration is its ability to answer frequently asked questions. School administrators receive a lot of inquiries from parents and students, and answering these questions can be time-consuming. With Chat GPT, administrators can create a chatbot that can answer common questions like "What are the school hours?" or "What's the school's dress code?". This frees up administrators' time, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.
Chat GPT can also be used to personalise communication between administrators and parents/students. By analysing data such as grades, attendance, and behaviour, Chat GPT can generate personalised messages to parents and students. For example, if a student is struggling in a particular subject, Chat GPT can generate a message to the parent, highlighting the issue and suggesting ways to improve the student's performance.
Another significant application of Chat GPT in school administration is in grading and feedback. Chat GPT can analyse student responses and provide instant feedback to the student. This saves teachers time and provides students with instant feedback, allowing them to improve their performance in real time.
Finally, Chat GPT can also be used to analyse school data and generate insights that can help administrators make informed decisions. By analysing data such as student attendance, academic performance, and behaviour, Chat GPT can provide insights into areas that need improvement, enabling administrators to take corrective action.
In conclusion, Chat GPT is a powerful tool that can help school administrators manage their schools better. From answering frequently asked questions to providing personalised communication, grading and feedback, and analysing school data, Chat GPT has a wide range of applications in school administration. As schools continue to embrace technology, Chat GPT is set to become an essential tool for school administrators in the years to come.
