Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into higher education (HE), offering numerous benefits and transforming teaching and learning. Since its launch, ChatGPT has become the most popular learning model among Generation Z college students in HE. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, concerns, attitudes, and ethics of using ChatGPT among Generation Z college students in HE in Peru. An online survey was administered to 201 HE students with prior experience using the ChatGPT for academic activities. Two of the six proposed hypotheses were confirmed: Perceived Ethics (B = 0.856) and Student Concerns (B = 0.802). The findings suggest that HE students’ knowledge and positive attitudes toward ChatGPT do not guarantee its effective adoption and use. It is important to investigate how attitudes of optimism, skepticism, or apathy toward AI develop and how these attitudes influence the intention to use technologies such as the ChatGPT in HE settings. The dependence on ChatGPT raises ethical concerns that must be addressed with responsible use programs in HE. No sex or age differences were found in the relationship between the use of ChatGPTs and perceived ethics among HE students. However, further studies with diverse HE samples are needed to determine this relationship. To promote the ethical use of the ChatGPT in HE, institutions must develop comprehensive training programs, guidelines, and policies that address issues such as academic integrity, privacy, and misinformation. These initiatives should aim to educate students and university teachers on the responsible use of ChatGPT and other AI-based tools, fostering a culture of ethical adoption of AI to leverage its benefits and mitigate its potential risks, such as a lack of academic integrity.

Z 世代大学生对使用 ChatGPT 的认知、态度和感知道德规范
人工智能(AI)已融入高等教育(HE),为教学带来了诸多益处和变革。自推出以来,ChatGPT 已成为最受高校 Z 世代大学生欢迎的学习模式。本研究旨在评估秘鲁高校 Z 世代大学生使用 ChatGPT 的知识、关注点、态度和道德规范。我们对 201 名曾在学术活动中使用过 ChatGPT 的高校学生进行了在线调查。在提出的六个假设中,有两个得到了证实:道德认知(B = 0.856)和学生关注(B = 0.802)。研究结果表明,高校学生对 ChatGPT 的了解和积极态度并不能保证其被有效采纳和使用。重要的是要研究对人工智能的乐观、怀疑或冷漠态度是如何形成的,以及这些态度如何影响在高校环境中使用 ChatGPT 等技术的意愿。对 ChatGPT 的依赖引发了伦理方面的担忧,必须通过在高校开展负责任的使用计划来解决这些问题。在使用 ChatGPT 与高校学生的道德认知之间,没有发现性别或年龄差异。不过,要确定这种关系,还需要对不同的高校样本进行进一步研究。为了促进高校以合乎道德的方式使用 ChatGPT,各院校必须制定全面的培训计划、指导方针和政策,以解决学术诚信、隐私和错误信息等问题。这些举措应旨在教育学生和大学教师负责任地使用 ChatGPT 和其他基于人工智能的工具,培养一种合乎道德地采用人工智能的文化,以充分利用其优势并降低其潜在风险,如缺乏学术诚信。
