  • The perception of public administration students on ChatGPT [Elektronski vir]
    Umek, Lan, 1981- ...
    Launched in November 2022, ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-based chatbot, can generate coherent, informative, human-like responses and have natural language conversations with users. In the ... higher education sector, ChatGPT has been met with both excitement and scepticism. On the one hand, some educational practitioners recommend engaging students with such tools to enrich the learning experience rather than prohibiting them, as it is believed that ChatGPT will inevitably become an integral part of higher education. In this context, it is believed that ChatGPT can help students develop various skills such as reading, writing, information analysis, critical thinking and problem-solving, generation of practice problems, etc., which are relevant to public administration practice and research. However, there are likely to be multiple challenges associated with ChatGPT, including copyright, biases, equity, over-reliance by students, and data privacy and security. The aim of the paper is to investigate the perception of ChatGPT by students of public administration. Findings show that ChatGPT seems to be an attractive platform for public administration students. Students have generally positive perceptions of ChatGPT in relation to different study issues, suggesting the further impact of using ChatGPT in concrete public administration study issues is recommended to enhance learning from students' perspective. However, students feel less effective in developing and improving critical thinking, creativity and personal communication skills. Accordingly, the findings of this paper add to the existing scientific knowledge and facilitate evidence-based policy-making, which is crucial for higher education in the future.
