In this survey, students who responded were 153 male students (37.9%) and 251 female students (62.1%). Female students were in the majority, and the distribution across academic years was relatively even, with 75 freshmen (18.6%), 90 sophomores (22.3%), 100 juniors (24.8%), 120 seniors (29.7%), and 19 students in their fifth year or beyond (4.7%). Of the total 415 respondents, 405 students (97.6%) indicated that they have "experience using generative AI for personal learning," demonstrating that the majority of students are incorporating generative AI into their learning. 

 2. ChatGPT PLUS Usage Experience

  ChatGPT Plus, as a paid subscription service, evolved one step further in September, allowing voice conversations and answering questions based on images. OpenAI announced on September 25th that ChatGPT has added the 'listening and speaking' feature for users to ask questions and receive answers through voice, and the 'answering by looking' feature for images. ChatGPT Plus, with the introduction of 'multi-modal' technology approaching ChatGPT-4, provides higher-quality conversations, longer response lengths, and has gained much attention compared to ChatGPT equipped with GPT-3.5. We investigated whether our school students are subscribing to and benefiting from ChatGPT Plus. 

  According to the survey results, for the question of whether students are aware of ChatGPT Plus, slightly more than half of the students responded that they are aware (52%), and 10.6% (44 students) of the total respondents are actually subscribing and using it. Considering the monthly cost, including VAT, exceeding $22 or more than 25,000 won in our currency, the fact that more than 10% of the respondents are subscribing to ChatGPT Plus indicates a high level of interest among students. 

  Additionally, targeting the 44 respondents who are subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, we investigated the purpose of using ChatGPT Plus for learning, allowing multiple responses. The results showed that the usage for 'programming and coding' purposes was the highest with 31 students (70.5%), followed by 'general data research' with 27 students (61.4%), and 'in-depth learning about study content' with 22 students (50%). Comparing the purpose of using generative AI for all students who participated in the survey, 71.1% of all respondents answered 'general data research' as the first, and 'programming and coding (52.5%)' as the second, showing a difference. In terms of in-depth learning about study content and summarizing data, the response rate of students using ChatGPT Plus was higher than the response rate of all students, and there were differences in the order as well. Students who participated in the survey are also using generative AI for various purposes, such as 'creating results (essays, reports, etc.)' (25.8%) and 'outlining results (essays, reports, PPT)' (24.1%). 

 3. Expectations for the Use of Generative AI in Student Learning 

 In response to the question about the academic fields suitable for utilizing generative AI in learning, students expressed that, as shown in the graph below, computer science (331 students or 79.8%) is considered the most suitable field, followed by various engineering disciplines (152 students or 33.6%), and social sciences (117 students or 28.2%). This indicates that students anticipate the effective utilization of generative AI in engineering fields.

 Regarding what our university should provide guidance on regarding generative AI, the survey results show that 297 students (71.6%) responded that they expect guidance on effective utilization of generative AI in learning. Following that, 263 students (63.4%) expressed interest in practical applications of generative AI in different fields. Other responses included requests for department-specific roadmaps integrating generative AI with their majors (0.2%) and interest in prompt learning (0.2%). This suggests that students are more interested in practical and user-friendly programs for utilizing generative AI in their learning and areas of interest, rather than the technical and theoretical aspects.

 In this survey, we explored whether our university students are using paid subscription services like ChatGPT PLUS as generative AI continues to evolve. Out of 415 respondents, all except 7 students reported having experience using generative AI in learning. Approximately 10% of the respondents stated that they subscribe to ChatGPT PLUS. Students mainly use generative AI for general research, programming and coding, data summarization, and more. They expressed a desire for our university to provide guidance on effective ways to use generative AI in learning and practical applications in different fields. We hope this teaching tip will be a useful reference for professors in effectively utilizing generative AI for education and research.
