Introduction

Recent years have seen an increase in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)

technologies within education, and Chat GPT has stood out as one of the most popular

methods to improve educational facilities. As many other educational institutions do, Colegio

de Montalban has incorporated Chat GPT into their system to assist students with more

personalized help and resources. Yet, like all technological marvels, there is always the need

to focus on both sides of the aisle and zoom in on not just its pluses but its minuses as well.

Therefore, what follows aims at giving an authentic view concerning whether Chat GPT

might be more damaging than helpful for students and their academic performance. This

study aims to probe into the various ramifications of Chat GPT at Colegio de Montalban. We

hope to generate thinking around how these benefits personalization of help and increased

engagement—result in Chat GPT being a support for students through their studying journey

as we explore further into its impact. However, the disadvantages related to such a program

e.g., addiction to usage, validity will also be examined in order to determine its impact on the

students’ developmental process.

From exploring this, we hope that the insights provided will help educators, administrators,

and policymakers reflect on how best to integrate Chat GPT with educational practices at

Colegio de Montalban. Understanding the subtle effects of Chat GPT on students’ learning

performance and experiences can help establish an ecosystem where technology only serves

as a support mechanism that strengthens rather than replaces traditional pedagogy, thereby

enabling our students to achieve success in their academic journeys. Furthermore, while AI

integration in education presents exciting prospects, it also raises ethical questions about data

protection and algorithmic biases. As a result, this study will also address the ethical issues of

using Chat GPT in educational contexts, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its

impact on students' academic experiences. This study aims to provide significant insights on
 the use of Chat GPT as an educational resource, which will inform future pedagogical

practices and technology integration initiatives.

Among these tools, Chat GPT stands out as a strong candidate, with potential benefits

for improving students' academic experiences. Despite its claims, Chat GPT raises important

doubts about its usefulness and impact on student learning outcomes. This study aims to delve

into the complex domain of Chat GPT inside the educational landscape of Colegio de

Montalban, uncovering both its benefits and drawbacks while analyzing its concrete impact

on students' academic performance and learning outcomes.

Finally, Chat GPT's potential may be limited by the current state of artificial intelligence technology,

which may pose challenges in understanding complex queries. However, with careful consideration

of these limitations, Chat GPT integration can effectively complement traditional methods.

Technology tools can improve academic performance by giving students access to greater amounts of

information and resources. Moreover, Chat GPT's impact on student academic performance extends

beyond just immediate support. The mediating role of learning motivation, an important

psychological factor, is crucial in understanding the relationship between Chat GPT as an academic

support tool and academic performance.

Background of the Study

This paper explores the integration of Chat GPT, an AI-based language model, in undergraduate

education. The study examines the potential benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations

associated with incorporating Chat GPT into teaching and learning practices. It investigates the

impact of Chat GPT on student engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, as well as

its potential to enhance writing skills and provide personalized learning experiences. The survey

conducted on faculty staff at a university reveals their perspectives on using Chat GPT, including its

effects on learning outcomes and performance. Additionally, the paper addresses concerns related to
biases in AI-generated content, privacy issues, copyright considerations, and the importance of

balancing AI use with traditional teaching approaches. The findings emphasize the need for

responsible implementation, faculty training, and ongoing evaluation to maximize the benefits of

Chat GPT while upholding ethical practices in education. Overall, this paper sheds light on the

potential of Chat GPT as a valuable tool in undergraduate education while highlighting the

importance of maintaining critical thinking skills and human interaction in the learning process Chat

GPT is an abbreviation for generative pre-trained transformer. It is a new artificial intelligence

technology that was made available in November 2022. This tool responds to inquiries in a

conversational manner. Chat GPT is one of several AI techniques that comprise the big language

model. Developed by Open AI, it can produce outlines, poetry, letters, advice, cover letters, resumes,

and even blog posts for this website. Chat GPT can provide logical and fluid replies to a variety of

inquiries and prompts since it has been trained on a vast quantity of text data. It can make research

and learning more efficient. Through an internet browser, anyone may communicate with Chat GPT.

Chat GPT reacts to a question or prompt that has been posted. The education community has had

conflicting feelings about Chat GPT. As students utilize recent technology to cheat on essays, exams,

and assignments, some educators have become alarmed. others are approaching it more liberally and

think it has the potential to revolutionize education by helping students become better writers,

thinkers, and learners

Review related literature

Artificial intelligence, also known as AI has brought about a transformation, in the field of education

by introducing tools and resources that show promise in improving the teaching and learning

experience. While AI offers advantages it also comes with drawbacks that need to be considered.

This review of literature aims to examine both the benefits and drawbacks of integrating intelligence

into college programs focusing on how it may affect students.

Baidoo Anu and Ansah (2022) highlighted the aspects of AI in education its ability to support

personalized and interactive learning experiences. Technologies like Chat GPT can create prompts

for assessment tasks offering feedback to enhance teaching and learning processes. This tailored

approach to education has been proven to boost proficiency levels and cultivate attitudes towards AI

assisted learning (Bommarito & Katz 2015). Additionally, tools such, as chat bots have been

designed to assist students in classrooms by providing resources to enrich their learning journey

(Chen et al., 2022).

Despite these advantages there are obstacles related to incorporating AI into education settings. One

major concern revolves around the possibility of errors and biases being introduced during data

training processes, which could potentially misinform students and impact their outcomes negatively

(Baidoo Anu & Ansah 2023). Furthermore, the absence of defined standards regarding the expertise

of teachers, in intelligence along with insufficient assistance, in acquiring the necessary skills

presents substantial challenges that must be overcome. According to Akgun and Greenhow (2021),

another downside of utilizing AI in education is privacy issues. The use of artificial intelligence

systems in educational settings raises ethical concerns concerning student privacy and data security.

Moreover, Kocielnik, Amershi, and Bennett (2019) emphasized the importance of managing end-user

expectations of AI systems, as faulty AI can lead to dissatisfaction and mistrust among students and

instructors. In addition to the benefits and drawbacks of AI in secondary education, there are

knowledge gaps that require further research. There is less understanding of the potential long-term

effects of AI on students' learning outcomes and overall educational experience.

Statement of the Problems

This study aims to investigate the benefits and drawbacks of integrating Chat GPT into educational
 practices at Colegio de Montalban, focusing on its influence on students' academic performance and

learning experiences. Specifically, the study seeks to address the following questions:

1.1 Name (optional)

1.2 Sex

1.3 1.2 Age

2.What are the perceived benefits of integrating ChatGPT into educational practices at Colegio de

Montalban.

3.How does the integration of ChatGPT affect students' academic performance, including their

grades, comprehension levels, and overall learning outcomes?

Theoretical frameworks

Chat GPT, an advanced AI chat bot, ushers in a new era of intelligent technology. While it benefits

academia, its use has led to have some negative impacts as well. According to Richard Ryan, PhD and

Edward desi PhD self-determination Theory (SDT), the research hypothesizes that the use of Chat GPT

would positively influence student learning outcomes by fulfilling the psychological needs of autonomy,

competence, and relatedness. The study confirms the positive impact of Chat GPT on student motivation

and performance, aligning with and expanding upon the principles of SDT. It highlights the potential of

integrating AI tools in educational strategies, while also acknowledging the need for cautious

interpretation due to limitations like the violation of homoscedasticity assumptions. This research opens

new avenues for the strategic use of AI in education and sets a foundation for future exploration in this

evolving field.The use of Chat GPT in education has generated considerable interest due to its potential to

enrich the learning experience of students. By providing quick and personalized responses, this system

has the ability to address individual student needs, offer immediate feedback and facilitate the
 understanding of complex concepts. In this way, it becomes a promising tool that promotes a student’s

active participation and cognitive advancement by adapting to their learning pace and offering continuous
