PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN CHATGPT TERHADAP MINAT BELAJAR MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of ChatGPT usage on the learning interest of students in the Islamic Education Study Program at STIT At-Taqwa Ciparay Bandung. The research employed a quantitative approach using a descriptive method to examine the level of ChatGPT utilization, students’ learning interest, and the relationship between both variables. Data was collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 30 items distributed to 75 active students selected as research respondents. The research instruments were tested for validity and reliability using IBM SPSS 26, resulting in a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.893, indicating very high reliability. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings show that the level of ChatGPT usage among students is categorized as high, while students’ learning interest is classified as very good. The hypothesis testing results indicate a significance value of less than 0.05, demonstrating that the use of ChatGPT has a positive and significant effect on students’ learning interest. This study concludes that ChatGPT can function as an effective learning support tool when used ethically and responsibly, contributing to increased student motivation and engagement in learning. The results are expected to provide insights for educators and institutions in integrating artificial intelligence technologies into learning strategies to enhance learning interest without reducing students’ critical thinking and academic independence.
