Aprendizaje activo del Derecho mediante herramientas LLM como ChatGPT para la simulación de casos en el aula

The educational innovation project titled “Active Learning in Civil Law through Mock Trials and Academic Debates Enhanced by LLM (Large Language Model) Tools like ChatGPT” addresses the pressing need to modernize the teaching of Civil Law. Designed to resonate with the digital expectations of contemporary students, this initiative leverages Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as a methodological foundation to foster critical thinking and analytical skills. Central to the project is the integration of large language models (LLMs) into practical simulations, where tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot generate tailored content and take on roles like litigators, witnesses, or judges, under the guidance of instructors. This approach marks a significant departure from traditional methodologies, creating a more interactive and immersive learning environment. The project outlines a comprehensive methodological design, detailing the activities conducted and the strategic deployment of LLM tools. Particular emphasis is placed on the crafting of targeted prompts, which are analyzed for their effectiveness in addressing complex legal scenarios and cultivating essential competencies, including legal reasoning, critical analysis, and the practical application of theoretical knowledge. The outcomes and student evaluations presented in the study highlight notable advancements in academic performance and skill development. These findings underscore the value of artificial intelligence as a pedagogical resource, demonstrating its potential to enrich legal analysis, enhance creativity, and redefine the learningexperience within a university setting.
