OpenAI has introduced a new feature called Study Mode in ChatGPT, designed to enhance the learning experience by guiding users through problems step-by-step rather than simply providing answers. This mode employs the Socratic method, using interactive prompts, quizzes, hints, and scaffolded responses to encourage deeper understanding and critical thinking. Study Mode adapts to the user's skill level and is available to logged-in users across Free, Plus, Pro, and Team subscription tiers, with an education-specific version, ChatGPT Edu, forthcoming. The feature aims to transform ChatGPT from a quick answer tool into a personalized tutor, supporting learners in academic settings and beyond. It is multilingual and free to use, with potential applications extending to enterprise training and knowledge workflows. While some observers note that Study Mode does not fully address the broader educational disruptions caused by generative AI, it represents a shift toward interactive and scaffolded learning facilitated by artificial intelligence.
