Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated teaching strategy incorporating the ChatGPT Python API in education, aligning with Learner- Centered Instruction (LCI) and Tinker Learning principles. The strategy promotes personalized learning by fostering active, hands-on experiences for students. Using the API, students engage in critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, exploring resources and generating ideas. It facilitates informed decision-making and self-directed learning, empowering students to experiment, iterate, and discover practical strategies. This personalized approach cultivates confidence, academic success, and long-term skill development. The ChatGPT Python API creates an engaging and supportive learning environment, stimulating curiosity, exploration, and creativity. It prepares students for a rapidly changing world, reflecting LCI and Tinker Learning principles. The Chat- GPT Python API allows students to explore diverse solutions, evaluate alternatives, and make informed decisions while fostering self-directed learning. In Tinker Learning environments, integrating the ChatGPT Python API empowers students to experiment and iterate, enabling them to discover effective learning strategies tailored to their needs. This personalized approach enhances students’ confidence, leading to remarkable academic achievements and long-lasting skill development.
