Integrating ChatGPT in Visual Basic Programming (VB.Net): A Study of Students' Learning Experience

Abstract

This study investigated the integration of ChatGPT into the learning of Visual Basic Programming (VB.NET) among students, as a potential solution to the limitations of existing platforms for teaching Visual Basic programming. The study aimed to assess the potential benefits of ChatGPT in enhancing the learning process and to evaluate its impact on individual learners. To collect data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three purposively sampled students one of the Department of Information Technology at a northern polytechnic in Malaysia. The findings revealed that students favoured online platforms for learning, with W3Schools being the most popular. The study highlights the need to develop tailored platforms that cater to the specific needs of individual learners and underscores the potential benefits of integrating ChatGPT into Visual Basic programming education.
