Students’ Acceptance of ChatGPT in Higher Education: An Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology
Abstract AI-powered chat technology is an emerging topic worldwide, particularly in areas such as education, research, writing, publishing, and authorship. This study aims to explore the factors driving students' acceptance of ChatGPT in higher education. The study employs the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) theoretical model, with an extension of Personal innovativeness, to verify the Behavioral intention and Use behavior of ChatGPT by students. The study uses data from a sample of 5…
Among 503 Polish state university students, habit and performance expectancy increased behavioral intention to use ChatGPT, and behavioral intention increased actual use behavior in higher education.
Findings are constrained by sample size and selection from Polish state universities, limiting generalizability beyond that population and early ChatGPT adoption period.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1038 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
