Methodology

3.1 Research Design

This research aimed to find an answer to whether AI chatbots usage have positive or

negative impact on university students. In order to answer our research question, we used a

mixed-method approach, since it may enable us to obtain additional data from participants.

However, we depended more on quantitative data, as it was simpler for us to collect specific

answers for our questions, and it is helpful in controlling the flow of the questionnaire like

displaying certain parts of the form based on their answers. An example of quantitative data that

we used in our questionnaire was closed-ended questions like question 9 “Do you see that AI

chatbots have time management impact on university students? “. In this question, we would like

to know the participants’ opinion about if whether AI chatbots have time management impact or

not. When it comes to the qualitative part of the questionnaire, we wanted to know why they

chose that specific answer in the quantitative part. An example of qualitative data that we used in

our questionnaire was open-ended questions like question 10 " If the answer of the previous

question is yes, how it can help you in time management? ". In this question, we would like to

ask the participants if AI chatbots help them manage their time then tell us how it could do this.

This will help us in discussing and analyzing the answers in addition to validating the

quantitative data.

3.2 Research Participants

We focused, in our study, on university students between 18 to 25 years old. Our initial

target was 100 participants. However, we only managed to get 82 participants. We targeted only

university students and excluded non-university students from our results. Most of our

participants was from Nile university.

3.3 Sampling

Purposive and snowball sampling were used in this study's conduct to evaluate the impact

that AIGEN had on high educational students. The first participants were chosen using a

deliberate sampling strategy that targeted trustworthy and long period AIGEN users. The

questions were submitted via a Google Form. We recruited the assistance of a few friends to help

us locate users with a significant amount of platform knowledge. This gave us access to a group

of individuals who were very knowledgeable about AIGEN, allowing us to learn more about

how it affected highly educated students.

3.4 Research Instrument

Because online questionnaires have so many advantages, we used them to gather data

from participants. The first and most significant advantage was that, in contrast to other standard

methods that need careful observation and examination of every detail, it was the shortest way to

obtain information from a large population. Additionally, it was much simpler to manage the

data collection flow for example, we could program the form to display in excel sheet or skip

questions based on responses we got from earlier sections of the form.

The questionnaire started with 4 demographic questions about age, gender, university, and

faculty. Then the second section focused on the AI chatbots Consumption; whether the

participants know about AIGEN, what they use it for, and if its effect on the participants. The

following section aimed to see how AIGEN affects the participants positively or negatively on

learning, time management, and communication skills. The last section shows the future

expectation of AIGEN in the future.

3.5 Data collection Procedure

We gave the survey to some of our friends who watch anime and asked them to give

them to their friends who watch anime as well. Also asked them to post it on relevant groups -for

our population- in any social media platforms -like Facebook, Twitter, and Discord- to help

extend the area of our search. We also posted the survey on the university’s group that is called

what’s up in NU and asked them to share the survey with their friends who they know they

watch anime.
