Abstract

This study aims to explore the concerns about using ChatGPT in education that have been investigated by researchers from a variety of disciplines. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis to analyze the 47 existing literature from the Scopus database, applied VOS viewer to construct and visualize the thematic analysis, and discussed three major educational concerns when using ChatGPT, (1) Ethics, (2) Plagiarism, and (3) Academic integrity. Several potential solutions to solve the concerns were also mentioned. This study concluded that it cannot deny ChatGPT can help users brainstorm and provide personalized services in lots of fields. However, if scholars and educators over-rely on it, they may lose the originality and novelty of their academic work and have plagiarism problems.
