Abstract
Lecturers play a crucial role in the educational process, offering unique insights and perspectives within the classroom. The issue of credibility in educational assessment often rests on the shoulders of lecturers, who are responsible for evaluating students' progress. The present study aimed to investigate lecturers' attitudes and perceptions regarding the potential of ChatGPT for instructional assessment. A correlational research design was adopted, and purposive sampling was used to select 102 lecturers from Nigerian universities who had utilised ChatGPT for instructional assessment. Data was collected through an online structured questionnaire. The normality and homogeneity of variance assumptions were met, as evidenced by kurtosis and skewness values falling within acceptable thresholds. The lecturers employed the instructional assessment questionnaire utilising ChatGPT to gather and analyse the data, employing t-tests and ANOVA. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between perception (F (3, 98) =7.168, p=0.001 <0.05) and lecturers' years of experience in using ChatGPT for instructional assessment. The study indicated that lecturers held low attitudes and had poor perception levels when it came to exploring the potential of ChatGPT. However, it is recommended that training be provided to enhance lecturers' attitudes and perception levels to fully exploit the potential of ChatGPT for instructional assessment.
