The Relationship between Attitude towards ChatGPT and its Educational Usage among B. Ed. Trainees in Madurai District
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates B.Ed trainees’ attitudes toward ChatGPT and its relationship with their educational usage patterns. A sample of 245 B.Ed trainees from various colleges of education in Madurai district completed the ChatGPT Attitudes Scale and self-reported usage questionnaire. Correlational analyses using Pearson's 'r' found significant positive correlations between ChatGPT attitudes and educational usage (r = 0.38, p < .001), indicating trainees with more favourable attitudes showed higher educational application of the tool. The correlation was strongest for lesson planning activities (r = 0.45, p < .001) and weakest for assessment creation (r = 0.24, p =0.02). The results support the hypothesis that favourable attitudes toward ChatGPT are associated with greater educational implementation. This highlights the importance of addressing trainee teachers' perceptions of AI tools in teacher education programs.
