ENHANCING STUDENTS' CONFIDENCE AND UNDERSTANDING IN PROBABILITY THROUGH CHATGPT: AN ANALYSIS OF AI'S IMPACT ON LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ChatGPT on the learning process and academic achievement in the field of probability. A selected group of students from the mathematics and computer science department was involved in the process. They were given two tests, pre-test, and post-test, which were designed to assess their proficiency in solving probability problems. Utilizing ChatGPT was permitted during the post-test. To capture the students' perceptions regarding their learning experience with ChatGPT, two separate surveys were administered. These surveys aimed to gauge the students' self-confidence levels, their comprehension of probability concepts, and the perceived level of challenge encountered during problem-solving activities. The results of this study revealed significant improvements in both self-confidence and comprehension of probability concepts among students after the introduction of ChatGPT assistance. The qualitative data obtained from the surveys further supported these findings, indicating a positive shift in the students' perceptions of their abilities and understanding of the subject matter. Interestingly, despite these improvements, the level of challenge perceived by the students during problem-solving activities did not exhibit a significant change. This could be attributed to the intrinsic complexity of probability problems, which often require a deep understanding of underlying mathematical principles and may not be fully mitigated by external assistance alone.
