How important is Trust: Exploring the Factors Influencing College Students' Use of Chat GPT as a Learning Aid

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, its functions have become increasingly powerful. Large Language Models such as ChatGPT have solved various tasks such as text creation and code debugging, and the impact in the field of education has caused close attention from many scholars. Therefore, by establishing an extended TAM, we conducted a questionnaire survey on 470 college students to explore their acceptance of using ChatGPT as an auxiliary learning tool. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that trust, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use have a positive impact on college students' use intention of ChatGPT. Hence, by improving the credibility of generated content and providing appropriate auxiliary resources will help promote students' acceptance of ChatGPT. The research results provide suggestions and directions for future design.
