The Effect of using Chat GPT on Learning among Jordanian University Students

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of ChatGPT on learning among Jordanian university students. It explores how the use of ChatGPT affects their educational experience, focusing on variables such as age, gender, and duration of usage. Data was collected from a sample of 300 students, revealing that ChatGPT positively influences learning by providing accessible and accurate information, aiding skill development, and improving understanding of academic concepts. The study results indicated that the impact of ChatGPT on learning was high. And it was differences in ChatGPT's impact based on gender and usage duration, with males and students using the tool for longer periods experiencing greater benefits. Age did not show significant differences. Despite its advantages, the study notes concerns about over-reliance on ChatGPT, which may impact critical thinking and independent learning. The study concludes that while ChatGPT offers valuable support in education, it is crucial to address its limitations and integrate it thoughtfully into learning processes. Recommendations include further research on its broader impacts, increasing awareness among educators about its potential drawbacks, and adapting evaluation methods to preserve academic integrity.
