Exploring the Impact of ChatGPT on Students' Engagement and Motivation: A Demographic Perspective

AI-powered education is becoming increasingly prevalent in the global educational system. ChatGPT, an AI tool, significantly improves the dynamics of schooling by accelerating students' academic achievement to new heights using their various demographic information while engaging learners' thinking attributes. Thus, the study sought to explore the impact of ChatGPT on students' academic engagement and motivation using student demographics as a lens. The study used a quantitative research technique. The descriptive survey included all undergraduate students from public and private universities in Karachi. The researcher applied purposive and snowball sampling techniques to choose a sample of 400 undergraduate students. The study collected data using a questionnaire and analyzed it using SPSS. The findings indicated that male and female undergraduate students enrolled in any semester of any degree program at any department of Karachi's public and private-sector universities had the same level of academic engagement and motivation while utilizing ChatGPT in online learning settings. Therefore, the study offered useful information for policymakers, educators, and practitioners to develop more successful ways for incorporating current AI techniques into Karachi's higher education system.
