Abstract
The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the education sector, particularly through the use of ChatGPT as a supportive tool in teaching and learning processes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between teachers' usage of ChatGPT and students' learning skills, knowledge, and understanding in primary schools. A quantitative survey research design was employed involving 40 respondents. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 31 through descriptive analysis. The findings revealed that teachers' usage of ChatGPT was at a high level and contributed positively to the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Furthermore, students' learning skills, knowledge, and understandings were also found to be at high level, indicating a positive relationship between the use of ChatGPT and improved learning outcomes. In conclusion, ChatGPT has the potential to serve as an effective educational support tool in enhancing teachings and learning practices in primary schools, provided that it is used ethically and aligned with appropriate learning objectives.
