ChatGPT is a natural language-based artificial intelligence model that is now starting to be used as a learning companion in various fields of science, including higher education. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method through a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 60 students, divided into two groups: experimental and control. The research instrument was a descriptive test of analytical skills that had been validated by experts. The results of data analysis using ANCOVA showed a significant effect of the use of ChatGPT on students' analytical skills (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that ChatGPT can contribute positively to the development of students' analytical thinking skills if used appropriately and directed in learning.]]>
