THE INFLUENCE OF CHATGPT USAGE ON STUDENT LEARNING PROCESSES

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the influence of ChatGPT usage in the learning process among students, based on constructivist theory. This theory emphasized the importance of active learning that allowed individuals to build knowledge through experience and interaction with the learning environment The population of this study consisted of all second-semester students of the Economic Education Study Program at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, totaling 92 students. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling, in which all members of the population were included as the research sample. Data analysis was carried out using classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression analysis to test the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results of the study showed that: (1) the frequency of ChatGPT usage had a positive and significant influence on students' learning independence, (2) the type of ChatGPT usage also had a positive and significant influence on students' learning independence, and (3) simultaneously, the frequency and type of ChatGPT usage contributed 81.6% to students' learning independence, while the remaining 18.4% was influenced by other factors not included in this research model. These findings indicated that frequent and varied use of ChatGPT could significantly support the development of student learning independence, in line with the principles of constructivism, which emphasized active and reflective learning. This study provided a valuable contribution to leveraging AI technology as a learning medium that supported the development of student independence and learning skills in the digital era.
