STUDENT'S PERCEPTIONS OF CHATGPT USE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
STUDENT'S PERCEPTIONS OF CHATGPT USE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Artificial intelligence has spread very rapidly and has taken a strong position in education too. All parts of education have been touched by different forms of AI making it inevitable for both teachers and learners. Especially when it comes to higher education, students are young adults who own smartphones and other devices, connected to internet almost 24/7. This has surely served them well in other ways, but has also made them lazier in finding ways to seek knowledge and achieve their final mission. Of course, conditions are not the same for students in all countries, depending on the development of the country in different aspects. The 79 participants in the survey are students from different study programs at the University of Tetova. The aim of the study is to see if students are informed about Chat GPT use in general and if they personally use it for their studies and educational purposes. Except students’ perceptions on the tool’s benefits, the study tries to see what are their standings and opinions on the future development and consequences. The results were somehow conflicting, and their use is not always interconnected with their perceptions of future development of these tools. It also showed that the majority of them were uncertain about the negative consequences in their studies in general, because they felt like it made them lazier by offering answers and solutions in few seconds.
