Exploring BSIT Students Experiences and Perceptions on CHATGPT as a Tool for Software Development
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the attitudes and experiences of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students about the use of ChatGPT as an aid tool in software development. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning, particularly programming and software subjects, the study aims to determine how students use ChatGPT in their learning processes. With a descriptive qualitative research design guided by the Input-Process-Output (IPO) model, researchers gathered the data from 30 purposively sampled BSIT students using structured questionnaires. Results indicate that students primarily utilize ChatGPT to learn about programming concepts, debugging, and generating or optimizing code. While most acknowledged its usefulness and constructive contribution to learning, issues such as providing incorrect answers, failing to offer sufficient detail in explanations, and the risk of overreliance were also cited. Most participants favored integrating ChatGPT into the curriculum with proper instructor guidance and ethical instruction. This study offers practical contributions for teachers, developers, and institutions to integrate AI responsibly into IT education to enhance students' learning without sacrificing their critical and independent problem-solving skills
