Analyzing The Utilisation of Chatgpt for Academic Purpose: Exploring Student Motivations

Abstract

While praising ChatGPT for its ability to produce complex and human-like text, it was hailed as the best AI chatbot ever released to the public. It was also noted that the output was on par with what a competent student could do, suggesting that teachers would have significant challenges down the road. The purpose of this study was to investigate what drives students to use ChatGPT for schoolwork. This study used a descriptive research approach to describe the opinions of Arts and Science College students in the Coimbatore District. The study used a questionnaire to get data from the students' opinions. In all, 450 people participated in the survey. The academic community frequently turns to ChatGPT for help with homework, studying, and understanding difficult ideas. Yet, it has the potential to reduce the capacity for independent thought. In spite of these problems, ChatGPT encourages students to actively participate in their education by providing them with relevant materials, guidance, and interactive features that spark their curiosity. When implemented properly, ChatGPT have a substantial impact on educational advancement, leads to better outcomes, and keeps students motivated to learn.
