artificial intelligence, behavioural intention, ChatGPT, Mathematics student teacherAbstract
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), exemplified by ChatGPT, has transformed education. However, few studies have examined the factors influencing its adoption in higher education, especially among Mathematics student teachers. This study investigates factors that influence the behavioural intentions of Mathematics student teachers regarding using ChatGPT. Guided by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, data were collected through a questionnaire of 24 items across six factors on a 5-point Likert scale. Using multiple linear regression analysis with RStudio, the findings reveal that Intrinsic Motivation, Performance Expectancy, Social Influence, and Perceived Trust positively affect behavioural intentions to adopt ChatGPT. The study emphasizes implications for developers and educators to enhance AI integration in education, thereby supporting personalized and engaging learning experiences.
