Biology Education Students' Perspectives on the Utilization of Artificial Intelligences (AI) ChatGPT in Learning

Abstract

The advancement of science and technology (IPTEK) has significantly impacted various life aspects, including education. One rapidly evolving innovation is Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically ChatGPT developed by OpenAI. This study aims to explore the perspectives of biology education students on the use of ChatGPT in their learning process. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collected through questionnaires distributed to Biology Education students of the 2022/2023 cohort at UIN Walisongo. The findings indicate that ChatGPT is considered beneficial in accelerating task completion and enhancing productivity. However, there are still challenges regarding accessibility and ease of use. The results of this study can serve as a basis for developing more effective AI technology integration strategies in biology education curricula.
