Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The focus of global human resource development today is on the mastery of STEM and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. There is limited understanding of rural youth’s perceptions related to this focus, especially the use of ChatGPT in STEM fields. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to examine the use of ChatGPT in the field of STEM by rural youth. A survey design involving an online questionnaire on 75 respondents in a district was used. Cronbach’s alpha for the scale was calculated to be 0.889. The data of this study was analyzed using descriptive analysis and statistical tests including ANOVA and t-test. Most respondents have given a positive perception about the use of ChatGPT in the STEM field, while the information that has been generated from ChatGPT is fast and abundant. Based on these findings, ChatGPT should be exposed as early as possible to rural youth for their self-development in STEM fields.
