Description Of The Use Of Chatgpt For New Students Of Islamic Religious Education In Ponorogo

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing use of ChatGPT among Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students as a learning tool and for assignment preparation. The purpose of this study is to describe the forms and impacts of ChatGPT use by early PAI students in Ponorogo on their learning process. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through the literature. The results show that students use ChatGPT to understand course material, find references, and assist with academic writing. This use has been proven to increase learning efficiency, but there is still a tendency to depend on it and a lack of critical evaluation of the results provided by AI. Therefore, digital literacy and ethical guidance are needed so that the use of ChatGPT supports productive and responsible learning
