Abstract

This study examines the potential of generative artificial intelligence to create educational stand-up monologue scripts in university contexts. The research compared two generative AI systems (Claude and ChatGPT) to generate didactic scripts subsequently validated by experts in performing arts and pedagogy, following a specific rubric. The validated scripts were performed by students from a research seedbed in front of 40 first-semester students of Computer Science Pedagogy, who evaluated their effectiveness through a survey that measured humor, message relevance, clarity, interaction, and reflection on topics such as innovation, ICTs, pedagogy, programming, robotics, and computer science. The results showed a significant preference (70%) for scripts generated by Claude, with notable differences in clarity (+0.8), connection with the audience (+0.9), and perceived learning in pedagogy (+1.3). The study demonstrates the value of generative AI as a complementary tool for creating innovative educational material, facilitating new methodological approaches in university teaching.
