ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the impact of ChatGPT on enhancing the learning outcomes and
academic performance of high school students in physics, specifically focusing on its role in aiding
the understanding of challenging topics such as Newton’s second law of motion. This study
employs a quasi-experimental quantitative methodology that involves two groups from different
schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and comprises both genders of students. The research
findings reveal that ChatGPT has significantly improved the academic performance of both male
and female students, with a slightly greater improvement observed among the latter, as indicated
by the pre-test and post-test scores. Moreover, the experiments demonstrate high student
engagement and interaction, which have improved their learning and achievements. The
contributions and implications for research and practical applications are highlighted and
discussed.
