" THE IMPACT OF CHATGPT ON STUDENT LEARNING IN PRIVATE HIGHER LEARNING INSTITUTION"

Abstract

The integration of ChatGPT into the education system has introduced transformative changes, offering both substantial benefits and notable challenges. These abstract addresses the impacts of ChatGPT focusing on teaching and learning providing educational inequalities among students enrolled in higher education at a private higher education institution. ChatGPT is designed to significantly enriches educational practices by delivering personalized learning experiences. Its ability to provide real-time, adaptive feedback allows students to engage with content at their own pace, catering to diverse learning styles and needs. Moreover, ChatGPT facilitates access to information and educational resources. It acts as an on-demand tutor, helping students with homework, clarifying complex concepts, and offering practice problems across various subjects. This increased accessibility in education by providing high-quality support in teaching and learning. However, the integration of ChatGPT into education also presents challenges. Issues of data privacy, the risk of perpetuating biases, and the need for accurate content verification are among the significant concerns. Additionally, reliance on Artificial Technologies (AI) for learning support raises questions about the potential reduction in human interaction, communication and the implications for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.  The results of this study show that ChatGPT has significant negative impacts to the educational teaching and learning outcomes. This study also crucially addresses the challenges and impacts of using ChatGPT in collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students at private higher education level. However, a cross-sectional study comparing respondents from public higher education opinions of ChatGPT are required to undertake a more thorough investigation.
