Abstract

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems such as ChatGPT (GPT-4) could transform teaching and learning. Yet, integrating these tools requires insight into what drives students to adopt them. Research on ChatGPT acceptance has so far focused on university settings, leaving school contexts underexplored. This study addresses the gap by surveying 506 upper secondary students in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2). Performance expectancy, habit and hedonic motivation emerged as strong predictors of behavioral intention to use ChatGPT for school purposes. Adding personality traits and personal values such as conscientiousness or preference for challenge raised the model’s explanatory power only marginally. The findings suggest that students’ readiness to employ ChatGPT reflects the anticipated learning benefits and enjoyment rather than the avoidance of effort. The original UTAUT2 is therefore sufficient to explain students’ acceptance of ChatGPT in school contexts. The results could inform educators and policy makers aiming to foster the reflective and effective use of generative AI in instruction.
