Analysis Of Chatgpt And Other AI’s Ability To Reduce Anxiety Of Science-Oriented Learners In Academic Engagements

Abstract

Integration of AI models has a remarkable promise in enhancing classroom experiences and student outcomes. AI can serve as a valuable aid in idea generation and cognitive expansion. Students can harness AI models to brainstorm ideas, delve into complex concepts, and explore new perspectives. This study explored how AI could help in addressing specific intellectual needs with the potential of AI to revolutionize education by fostering well-rounded, confident, and capable learners. Science-oriented students (n=20) were interviewed about their experience on using AI models as assistant with their academic engagements. The participants were purposively sampled based on specific characteristics e.g., their science-oriented course, frequent use of AI, and at least one year in college. The findings indicated that self-regulated learning with the use of AI models mitigates academic anxiety. AI-guided personalized learning empowers students to take ownership of their education, boosting self-efficacy and fostering a growth mindset. AI's ability to provide step-by-step guidance and comprehensive explanations ensures that students remain on track, minimizing stress associated with meeting academic expectations. As the educational landscape continues to evolve, the strategic incorporation of AI stands poised to revolutionize learning, nurturing well-rounded, capable, and confident learners prepared for the challenges of the future.
