Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices on ChatGPT:Perspectives from Students and Teachers of De La Salle Santiago Zobel School

Abstract

Abstract. Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an artificial intelligence (AI) system that is gaining popularity among students and teachers. However, in the basic education level, the use of ChatGPT is still an ongoing discussion, particularly on how to regulate its use. This study endeavors to describe the perspectives of teachers and students about ChatGPT in terms of their knowledge, attitudes, and practices to better appreciate its role in advancing teaching and learning. This descriptive survey involved a total of (N=187) respondents, including students from Grade 6 (n=70), Grade 10 (n=38), and Grade 12 (n=18) and teachers (n=61). The newly developed 39-item Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices on ChatGPT Questionnaire (KAP-CQ39) with a Cronbach α = 0.91 was used as the primary instrument in understanding and leveraging the academic potential of this AI system. Open-ended questions on the advantages and disadvantages of using ChatGPT are also included in the questionnaire. KAP-CQ39 was administered online using Google Forms. Data culled from the survey was analyzed using an online open-source program referred to as Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP). Results revealed no significant difference in perspectives between teachers (mean=11.88) and students (mean=11.46) knowledge on ChatGPT F (2,169) =2.66, p=0.104. Similarly, attitudes towards the educational use of ChatGPT showed that both teachers and students hold positive attitudes. Demographic factors contributing to the differences in teachers’ perspectives on the educational use of ChatGPT were sex, years of teaching experience, and specialization. For the students, the demographic factors did not contribute to the differences in their perspectives. Generally, in terms of practices, responses provided valuable insights into how ChatGPT can be better designed and implemented for teaching and learning. Thus, policy implications were drawn relative to the efficient use of ChatGPT.
