Smart Chat, Bright Minds: Does Chat GPT Propel Students to Academic Heights?
Keywords:
academic performance, artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, efficiency, engagementAbstract
ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot being utilized more frequently in the field of education to promote academic achievement and cognitive development. This research paper explored ChatGPT's function in educational environments and how it may help students reach new academic benchmarks among senior high school students. The study employed descriptive-survey research design. The respondents were 89 Grade 12 students from STEM, GAS, and CSS strand. The data were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis H test and post-hoc-test, the Dunn-Bonferroni-Tests. The results revealed ChatGPT increased student engagement, efficiency, autonomy, and difference between the three groups, but there is a challenge about academic integrity. Therefore, teachers should provide sessions to promote responsible usage, and ensure continuous monitoring and ethical use of AI-generated material. The researchers plan to host seminars on educational benefits and minimize disadvantages, resulting in improved academic achievement. Further study involving equal grouping and larger samples in a longer period is also recommended to further establish the result.
