INTRODUCTION
Students who rely heavily on ChatGPT are experiencing a negative impact on their
academic performance, specifically in terms of diminished critical thinking and independent
problem-solving skills. This issue is particularly prevalent in online learning settings, where
students tend to excessively depend on ChatGPT for instant assistance, undermining their
engagement with course materials and traditional educational approaches. The study by Buriak
and colleagues provides a critical perspective on the limitations of AI-based language bots,
arguing that the output of AI models like ChatGPT must be carefully reviewed to prevent errors,
missing information, or unrelated claims. This supports the notion that relying on ChatGPT may
have negative consequences on academic performance due to potential inaccuracies or lack of
deep analysis (Buriak et al., 2023). Zhai's study explores the potential educational implications
of ChatGPT, suggesting that ChatGPT may significantly influence learning objectives,
assessment processes, and learning activities. This supports the idea that students heavily relying
on ChatGPT may face challenges in developing critical thinking and independent problem-
solving skills, impacting their academic performance (Zhai, 2022). Bin-Hady and colleagues
conducted a global study on ChatGPT in English learning, highlighting its anticipated positive
impact on language skills and the learning process. This contrasts with the problem presented in
the research title, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of ChatGPT's influence on
academic performance, including potential negative consequences such as diminished critical
thinking skills (Bin-Hady et al., 2023).
Many students nowadays rely on the use of chatbots because they can easily give answers
to questions, assignments, and even exams without the student putting an effort, resulting in
many schools banning such use on their campuses as it relies on cheating and plagiarism. Based
on Education Science, the bad cause of using chatbots is the abuse that they can easily access
chatbots. Mhlanga examined around sixty papers that address whether chatbots can commit
plagiarism. Mhalanga and Sallam conducted in-depth analyses to determine the potential
advantages and risks of chatbots for education. This supports that chatbots can be treats that can
affect our education and life (Chung Kwan Lo 2023). Using a chatbot has drawbacks: it might
provide you with misleading information, as evidenced by the FBI's 2021 research that found
chatbots to be the source of phishing scams. This supports that we just need to identify if it can
give us true information or false information (Korab Dragidella 2023). Md. Mostafizer Rahman
and Yutaka Watanobe said threats to the traditional research and education system posed by
ChatGPT include the potential for online exam cheating, the ability to generate writing that is
human-like, a reduction in critical thinking abilities, and challenges in assessing the information
produced by ChatGPT. This supports that we need to work hard for our education not just need a
Chatbot to pass just like online exams (Md. Mostafizer Rahman and Yutaka Watanobe, 2023).
The researchers will examine the influence of ChatGPT on the academic performances of
senior high students grades 11 and 12 of National University Laguna. They will conduct
quantitative research and surveying to examine the level of influence the use of ChatGPT on
students and our target number of respondents is 100 senior high students who use ChatGPT.
The researcher aims to know the influence of using ChatGPT and how it influences a student’s
academic performance. By examining its influence on students’ learning outcomes and
participation.
1. How often does a student use ChatGPT? On what subjects do they use ChatGPT?
2. What is the level of academic performance of students using ChatGPT? Does it
influence or not?
3. Are there demographic factors that affect the relationship between ChatGPT usage and
academic performance?
Theoretical/Conceptual Framework
Conceptual framework:
The conceptual framework for our study, "The Influence of ChatGPT on Academic
Performance," provides an organized guide for the research process. At first, our objective is to
understand students' ChatGPT usage in terms of frequency and subjects. Then, the framework
directs data analysis, emphasizing quantitative aspects. It aims to assess the impact of ChatGPT
on academic performance, considering learning outcomes and participation levels. Demographic
factors are investigated to determine their potential influence.
The conceptual framework used to show the figures of this study is presented following the
Input-Process-Output Model.
Theoretical framework:
This study focuses on Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, which emphasizes the
significance of observational learning, imitation, and demonstration in shaping behavior. In our
investigation, this theory offers insight into how students' engagements with ChatGPT can
impact their academic performance. According to Bandura's theory, that learning occurs not just
through direct experiences but also by observing and imitating others. By applying this theory to
our study, students can potentially adopt academic behaviors and strategies based on their
interactions with ChatGPT, which can affect their learning results.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study aims to identify the influence of ChatGPT on academic performance. The
researchers chose the topic “The Influence of ChatGPT in Academic Performance” among other
topics. The reason for this is that the researchers wanted to know the influence of ChatGPT on
students’ academic performance and the most popular and used chatbot. This study will be
quantitative research and will conduct a survey to gather data for the study. They chose Senior
High Students of NU Laguna because they are the ones who are most likely to start using and
currently using ChatGPT in different types of activities. It will focus on respondents from senior
high students to gather information. We want to know how ChatGPT influences their academic
performance.

Overview
Over the last few years, there has been considerable attention paid to integrating artificial
intelligence, like chatbots, into education. ChatGPT, which uses advanced natural language
processing algorithms to help students with their studies, is one of the most prominent artificial
intelligences chatbot systems (Kevin D. Caratiquit and Lovely Jean C. Caratiquit, 2023).
material. Teachers will require tools and resources to support students in identifying and
navigating possible incorrect responses, biased information, and false news if this is to take
place. Although chatbots have been around for the past 20 years, they had certain limits when it
came to their capacity to teach complicated subjects like quantum physics or produce original
works like ballads. Unprecedented AI technological advancements have been made by Chat
GPT. ChatGPT may challenge Google’s current dominance of the internet search market,
although the tech giant has been developing a comparable technology for years. Microsoft made
a billion-dollar investment in Open AI in 2020, taking up the sole license for the GPT-3 model.
Microsoft wants to include the technology into popular productivity suites including Word,
PowerPoint, and Excel. In November 2022, GPT 3.5 had been upgraded through 2021 and had
been made freely available to the public as a chatbot. Chat GPT amassed 100 million members
only two months after its introduction, dwarfing other social media sites like Instagram, which
took two years to reach that number. It is worth noting that Chat GPT is presently in beta. The
argument is that ChatGPT can program, explain, and debate effectively and like a human. The
website clearly states that it may provide misleading, obviously false information. When tested
in precise ways, it has been shown to induce prejudice material. There are instances of ChatGPT
responses that read like they were authored by experts but are factually inaccurate by Shehab
Eldeen Ayman et al. (2023). Artificial intelligence, such as Chat GPT, has raised concerns about
its potential effects on education and academics. Some worry that excessive AI use may lead to
technology-dependent students, but research shows that AI can enhance students' educational
experiences if teachers prioritize critical thinking and interpersonal connections. However, AI
cannot replace the nuanced thinking and analysis needed for higher-level learning. The early
casualty of AI's impact on education is the capacity for thought, and future difficulties may not
be accurately predicted. This literature review examined existing research on the influence of
ChatGPT as an academic support tool on senior high school student's academic performance.
Topical/Theme Presentation (APA style for citation)
According to Radha Firaina and Dwi Sulisworo (2023). Technology enables easier access
to learning resources, such as e-books, video tutorials, and online learning platforms. In
addition, students may take online courses or obtain certificates from accredited institutions. This
enables students to develop their knowledge and skills independently, without being bound by
time and place. However, concerns are also raised about the potential for technology to reduce
social interaction between teachers and students. Due to a high reliance on technology, learners
may also lose discipline and be unable to concentrate at all (p. 39). However, users must be
critical and selective in utilizing it. Further research is needed to understand the full impact of
ChatGPT on learning, including more interviews and case studies. Despite its limitations,
respondents believe ChatGPT improves productivity and learning efficiency, making it an
attractive alternative to learning. However, users must maintain a critical approach and verify the
information provided.
Motivation drives most human activities, including foreign language learning, and both
inner and extrinsic variables influence it. This study explored the impact of ChatGPT on English
learning. A quantitative research design was used to collect data from 80 teachers and students
who had access to the ChatGPT during its initial phase in early 2023. The sample, drawn using a
non-probability sampling technique, completed an online questionnaire. The findings revealed
that ChatGPT generally stimulates learners to improve their reading and writing skills. The
respondents were ambivalent about the effect of ChatGPT on improving listening and speaking
abilities. The results indicate that ChatGPT-based education is motivating. ChatGPT should be
used as a learning tool rather than feared for its negative effects, which require additional
exploration. More research is needed to investigate the benefits of ChatGPT for other parts of the
language and to illuminate its negative impacts so that educators can lessen them in English
programs. The paper discusses the impact of ChatGPT on English language learning,
recommending its integration into English language programs to promote learners' motivation to
learn autonomously and under teacher supervision. Teachers should show students how to
benefit positively from ChatGPT instead of fearing its negative impacts. (Jamal Kaid
Mohammed Ali et al. 2023).
According to Korab Dragidella (2023), ChatGPT is a tool that can produce emails,
stories, summaries, reviews, articles, and blogs. ChatGPT has become more and more popular,
especially among students, thanks to its quick information processing speed and user-friendly
interface. Among the many reasons ChatGPT will be important to education in the future are the
services it provides, which include language learning, coding, writing, brainstorming, and other
helpful resources. The fact that ChatGPT can create messages in a variety of languages is one of
the factors contributing to its growing popularity. Students who want to use AI as a helper to
create appropriate content have an advantage because ChatGPT can generate texts in about 95
languages, which gives an advantage to students who have a goal of creating adequate content,
by using AI as an assistive method for writing techniques. Among the many languages that
ChatGPT supports are programming languages. Python, JavaScript, C#, C++, Swift, and other
programming languages are among those used to write code. Students can now get information
and brainstorm any time of the day regardless of their location. Its user-friendly interface and
quick information processing speed make it popular among students.

Synthesis
Students will eventually be able to employ AI technologies to study new
material. Teachers will require tools and resources to support students in identifying and
navigating possible incorrect responses, biased information, and false news if this is to take
place. Although chatbots have been around for the past 20 years, they had certain limits when it
came to their capacity to teach complicated subjects like quantum physics or produce original
works like ballads. ChatGPT can program, explain, and debate effectively and like a human.
There are instances of ChatGPT responses that read like they were authored by experts but are
factually inaccurate by Shehab Eldeen Ayman et al. (2023).
The literature provides an overview of the introduction and early impact of ChatGPT in
education. ChatGPT, introduced in November 2022, offers easier access to learning resources
and promotes independent learning. However, concerns arise regarding reduced social
interaction and potential loss of discipline due to excessive reliance on technology. Its
performance varies across subjects, from excellent in economics to subpar in mathematics. While
widely used, ChatGPT faces drawbacks like biased responses and inability to multitask. Ethical
concerns include unfair academic advantage and unintentional plagiarism. Research indicates
ChatGPT's positive impact on reading and writing skills, though its effect on listening and
speaking abilities is uncertain. Integration into language programs is recommended to enhance
motivation for learning. Overall, ChatGPT holds promise for education but requires careful
consideration of its ethical implications and varied performance across subjects. The significant
impact of ChatGPT on education, particularly its role in enhancing students' motivation and
academic performance. According to Kevin D. Caratiquit and Lovely Jean C. Caratiquit (2023),
ChatGPT functions as an academic support tool, fostering student interest, curiosity, and intrinsic
motivation by offering helpful resources and interactive elements. This increased motivation
leads to greater engagement, effort, and initiative in academic work, ultimately resulting in
improved academic performance. Similarly, Korab Dragidella (2023) highlights ChatGPT's
versatility and accessibility, making it increasingly popular among students due to its quick
information processing speed and user-friendly interface. ChatGPT provides various services,
including language learning, coding assistance, writing support, and brainstorming, catering to
diverse educational needs. Additionally, research by Jamal Kaid Mohammed Ali et al. (2023)
suggests that ChatGPT stimulates learners to improve reading and writing skills, although its
impact on listening and speaking abilities remains uncertain. They advocate for its integration
into language programs to promote learner motivation and autonomy, emphasizing the
importance of educators guiding students to utilize ChatGPT effectively. Overall, the literature
underscores ChatGPT's potential as a valuable tool in education, not only for providing academic
support but also for fostering motivation and enhancing learning outcomes across various
subjects and languages.
