A STUDY OF CHATGPT AND USAGE AMONGST TEACHERS IN AIDED AND UNAIDED SECTION IN INDIA

Abstract

While many teachers believe that teaching may be negatively affected by the advent of ChatGPT, some teachers believe otherwise. This research paper tries to understand the usage of ChatGPT by teachers of higher education. Teachers have been categorised into aided and unaided section and their usage and acceptability of ChatGPT has been understood. A questionnaire consisting of 26 questions apart from the initial demographic questions was circulated amongst 390 respondents. The responses were analysed using Jamovi (Version 2.3). Statistical tools like Cronbach’s Alpha, McDonalds Omega, Shapiro-Wilk Test, Independent Sample T-Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal Wallis Test and Spearman’s rho were used to perform various analyses and prove the hypothesis and find the correlation between section of teachers and usage and acceptability of ChatGPT. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to determine the factors influential in usage of ChatGPT for teachers and Sentiment Analysis was used to understand the overall opinion of the respondents. It was proved there is a relationship between the section of teachers and the usage of ChatGPT. Automation, Student Efficiency and Teacher Efficiency are factors which positively influence the usage of ChatGPT. Recommendations have been given to further improve and enhance the usage of ChatGPT by teachers.
