<![CDATA[The development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, has brought significant changes to the world of education. This research aims to analyze the influence of ChatGPT usage on the critical thinking skills of vocational high school students, identify patterns of ChatGPT utilization in the learning process, and explore the challenges faced in its use.
