From the Consumers’ Side: Determining Students’ Perception and Intention to Use ChatGPTin Ghanaian Higher Education

An expectancy value theory (EVT) based instrument for measuring student perceptions of generative AI

“…As perceived cost was negatively correlated with the intention to use, it suggests that reducing the perceived costs associated with the use of GenAI could potentially increase students' intention to use it. Compared to previous studies which utilised TAM to explore the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use (e.g., Bonsu & Baffour-Koduah, 2023;Hu, 2022;Kim et al, 2020), this EVTbased study shows that perceived cost is also an important factor affecting students' intention to use GenAI. As shown in the responses to the questionnaire, students were concerned that the use of GenAI could undermine the value of a university education, deprive them of the opportunities to interact with others, and hinder the development of transferable skills.…”

“…Another example is Hu's (2022) study that examined the factors affecting students' use of an AI-supported smart learning environment system and found that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness influenced students' behavioural intention. Bonsu and Baffour-Koduah (2023) explored the perceptions and intentions of Ghanaian higher education students towards using ChatGPT, using a mixed-method approach guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with a sample size of 107 students. The study found that although there was no significant relationship between students' perceptions and their intention to use ChatGPT, students expressed the intention to use and supported its adoption in education, given their positive experiences.…”

“…Despite the relatively recent emergence of ChatGPT, most of the students adopted it and use it frequently. In fact, it should be highlighted that students who took the questionnaire are Generation Z between the ages of 20-25, and according to Emmanuel Bonsu and Daniel Baffour-Koduah in their article (Bonsu & Baffour-Koduah, 2023), Generation Zs are in tune with their surroundings, ensuring that they remain innovative. Generation Zs are the first generation born and raised in the digital age (Shin & Lee, 2021), hence, they quickly learn this new technological innovation, become familiar with it, and adapt to its use.…”
