Abstract

This study aims to examine the perceptions of modern university students on the utilization of ChatGPT and its impact on their higher order thinking skills. The experiment was conducted in a top-tier university with robust academic capabilities in Shandong, China. Through a 40-min English speaking class combined with classroom observation and semi-structured interviews, this research found that 1) University students hold positive attitudes towards the efficiency of ChatGPT, but they encounter challenges in devising input prompts; 2) The use of ChatGPT may lead to the weakening of students’ subjective thinking abilities, consequently restricting the development of their higher order thinking skills.
