ABSTRACT
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major factor in driving sustainable development. AI
technology facilitate the innovation and creativity that could be used to achieved the sustainable
development goals SDG, where education is the third SDG. Since the emergence of an advanced
language model supported by AI, ChatGPT has been widely used in various fields, including
education. Perhaps the fields of mathematics in general and statistics, in particular, are among the
most important. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of ChatGPT-based
learning on statistical reasoning and attitudes towards statistics among undergraduates. The
study followed a quasi-experimental design. To achieve their objectives, the researchers employed
two valid and reliable assessments: the statistical reasoning assessment and the attitude toward
statistics measure. The study sample included 56 students from the Arab Open University in
Jordan and was distributed into two groups: experimental and control. The results demonstrated
the effectiveness of using ChatGPT in developing statistical reasoning and fostering positive
attitudes towards statistics. These findings encourage statistics instructors to incorporate ChatGPT
into their teaching methods and motivate students to utilize it in their learning of statistics.
