Abstract

The advent and development of technologies such as artificial intelligence have created benefits and challenges for educational stakeholders. Artificial intelligence, such as OpenAI’s Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), has brought new benefits, challenges and pressures for higher educational institutions. There are relatively few reports of how students perceive and intend to use ChatGPT. Taking cognizance of these, the research explored students’ perceptions and intentions to use ChatGPT in their higher education. Guided by two hypotheses and a mixed-method approach, the analysis revealed no statistical relationship between perception and intention to use ChatGPT. Despite this statistical relationship, the study reported students’ positive perceptions towards ChatGPT, and intentions to use ChatGPT and advocated its adoption in education. Based on these findings, the study offers implications for educational practices and further research.

  • Perceived cost is an important factor affecting students' intention to use GenAI.

    “Compared to previous studies which utilised TAM to explore the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use (e.g., Bonsu & Baffour-Koduah, 2023;Hu, 2022;Kim et al., 2020), this EVTbased study shows that perceived cost is also an important factor affecting students' intention to use GenAI.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
