Using ChatGPT to Assist Differential Calculus Learning: An Analysis of Learning Outcomes Among Technological High School Students with Different Levels of Engagement

Abstract

Calculus is a core subject in technical high schools, crucial for developing students' higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. Traditional teaching often lacks personalization. ChatGPT offers real-time Q&A and personalized guidance to address these gaps. This study explores ChatGPT-assisted learning in differential calculus, analyzing usage behaviors and performance across varying engagement levels. Using regression and cluster analysis, it examines how behaviors, strategies, and emotions impact outcomes, providing insights into applying ChatGPT to optimize learning.
