Influences of ChatGPT on student learning motivation and technology acceptance

The aim of this study was to examine the influence ChatGPT exerts on university students' current learning motivation, as well as the impact of this motivation on the (technological) acceptance of ChatGPT in academic settings. Students were surveyed between the months of July and November 2023 using an online questionnaire. This included the Questionnaire on current motivation (FAM) and selected scales from TAM 3 to assess technological acceptance. A total of 111 complete datasets were analyzed. The results revealed a minor effect of ChatGPT on current learning motivation, which in turn influenced the acceptance of ChatGPT in academic settings.
