CHAPTER I

PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

The senior high school years are crucial in shaping the future of students,

particularly in terms of their academic and professional pursuits. One of the key

subjects in senior high school is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

(STEM), which plays a vital role in preparing students for careers in various fields. As

part of their academic requirements, grade 12 MCAMS students are expected to

develop their writing skills and produce quality written outputs. In this regard, the use

of innovative technologies such as ChatGPT has been introduced to enhance their

writing capabilities.

Through the incorporation of AI-enabled applications like ChatGPT in STEM, the

writing skills of these students can be improved dynamically. ChatGPT uses the

methods of natural language processing to provide timely suggestions, and advice, to

help the users sharpen their writing skills. This technology usage may enable STEM

students to overcome their writing problems, put forward their findings, work with other

students more effectively, and communicate freely with a wider audience.

ChatGPT generates responses that are grammatically correct and semantically

meaningful. They are not, however, always accurate (Lingard, L. 2023). The accuracy

of ChatGPT has been a subject of concern, as it has been found to not always generate

1
MCA MONTESSORI SCHOOL – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

factually correct responses. Moreover, the students may grow overly reliant on

ChatGPT which may result in instances of plagiarism, where students may simply copy

the responses generated by the tool without fully understanding the content.

While there could be disadvantages, the opinion of students in STEM about using

ChatGPT to elevate their writing skills is different. Several students might see the

ChatGPT as a tool of great importance with a high chance of helping them correct their

writing difficulties and improve the quality of their work. The AI is subjected to doubts,

and questions about the reliability and ethics of the writing assistance.

Therefore in this study, the researcher will explore the perception of grade 12

MCAMS STEM students on the effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving their writing

skills. It is designed to explore the STEM students’ preferences for certain features or

functionalities of ChatGPT and their suggestions for improvement, as well as

investigate any concerns or reservations STEM students may have about ChatGPT.

The study also aims to examine the influence of academic discipline, writing

proficiency, and past exposure to AI technologies on MCAMS STEM students’

perceptions and behavior patterns toward ChatGPT. Finally, it is to help educators,

curriculum developers, and AI developers bring out the effectiveness of ChatGPT in

STEM students’ writing ability.

Background of the study

ChatGPT is part of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) model series

developed by OpenAI. The journey began with GPT-1 in 2018, which demonstrated

the capabilities of large-scale unsupervised language models. Building on its success,

GPT-2 and GPT-3 further showcased its impressive text generation. OpenAI then

allowed access to GPT-3 through an API, enabling developers to integrate its

capabilities into applications. ChatGPT specifically focuses on conversational

interactions, and its iterative development reflects OpenAI’s commitment to refining

language models and exploring their applications in diverse contexts.

However, while ChatGPT has impressive capabilities in generating text and can

be used to enhance writing capabilities, its use raises concerns about the impact on

the authenticity and credibility of the academic work (Derga, et al.). The use of AI-

generated text in academic writing may lead to plagiarism that could potentially embed

biases in the generated text. Moreover, there are instances wherein the students rely

solely on ChatGPT, hindering their development of critical thinking and writing skills,

which may also lead to cheating and becoming overly reliant.

This not only undermines the integrity of the educational system but also fails to

provide an accurate assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills. Students then

may develop unrealistic expectations and be overly confident in the works of AI.

Therefore, the investigation is essential for gaining insights into the effectiveness and

3
MCA MONTESSORI SCHOOL – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

negative effects of using Chat GPT as a shortcut or a substitute for their learning

efforts.

This study aims to explore the perceptions of Grade 12 MCAMS Science,

Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students regarding the utilization

of ChatGPT for enhancing their writing capabilities and how this advanced language

model impacts their writing skills. The research delves into student attitudes,

experiences, and potential improvements in written communication through the use of

ChatGPT, focusing on emerging technologies in educational settings and their

potential contribution to STEM students’ writing capabilities.

Theoretical Framework

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which was developed by Davis

(1989), explains how users come to accept and use a technology. It suggests that

perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are key determinants of an

individual’s intention to use a technology. In the context of AI in education, student’s

acceptance of AI tools and platforms is crucial. If students perceive AI as easy to use

and believe that it enhances their learning experience, they are more likely to engage

with and benefit from AI-driven educational technologies.

By implying this in our study, the researchers assume that this theory will help

students recognize what technological advancements they should utilize.
