Abstract

ChatGPT was a learning revolution known as an online program for learning Algebra; it changed what we knew about the teaching medium and molded the learning platform into a more engaging way of teaching. This research determines the use of ChatGPT in addressing math anxiety and promoting the confidence of college students enrolled in algebra at a Philippine state university. Using a purposive sampling technique the descriptive correlational method was utilized by employing a three-part questionnaire to 320 selected students using purposive sampling. The gathered quantitative data were treated using frequency, mean, standard deviation, and Chi-square test of independence. The study revealed that most respondents are enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, aged 22 to 23, female, and full-time first-year students who agreed that ChatGPT addressed Algebra anxiety and promoted Algebra confidence, resulting in a very good score on the Algebra performance test. Also, it reveals that students' Algebra performance is significantly related to the college to which they belong and the respondents’ ages. Furthermore, the study shows that the students’ Algebra performance correlates with using ChatGPT to promote Algebra confidence. Using ChatGPT in algebra instruction has shown promising results in raising student confidence, and it suggests including ChatGPT in algebra instructional materials. The researcher suggests integrating ChatGPT into the algebra course materials to promote more diverse and practical learning settings.
