Global ChatGPT Student Survey

Students' Perception of ChatGPT

Dear Student,

The Faculty of Public Administration, University of Ljubljana (from Slovenia, Europe), together with over 200 international
academic partners, is conducting a global student survey entitled Students' Perception of ChatGPT.

The recent exponential growth in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has led us to recognize the importance of
understanding how ChatGPT shapes higher education students' experiences and learning outcomes by specifically
analysing how students with diverse cultural backgrounds view ChatGPT.

Students attending higher education institutions around the world are kindly invited to complete the questionnaire to help
us understand your perception and use of ChatGPT. Participation in the study is completely voluntary. It should take
about 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire, divided into 11 sections. All answers are treated as anonymous. The data
collected will only be used for research purposes and only be disseminated in aggregate form.

Please complete the questionnaire in full and submit it by clicking “End” on the final page to ensure a valid response. Do
not submit the questionnaire more than once.

For any more questions, do not hesitate to contact Prof. Aleksander Aristovnik, PhD, from the University of Ljubljana
at [Link]@[Link].

By clicking on the Next page, you hereby declare that:

● You have been informed of the voluntary and anonymous participation in this study.
● You are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to provide free and voluntary consent.
● You are currently enrolled in a Higher Education Institution on any level of study.

By answering the complete questionnaire, you give us your consent to be able to process your answers, and this consent
is extensive and a precondition to participate in this research project.

Thank you in advance for participating in this survey!
