SQL Learning Study with ChatGPT for 141 Computer Engineering Students

141 computer engineering students from two Spanish universities (URJC and UCA) participated in a quasi-experimental study comparing traditional SQL learning to learning with ChatGPT. The dataset includes pre-test and post-test SQL knowledge scores, performance on 13 practical SQL query exercises, and survey responses based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The data was harvested from e-cienciaDatos and last updated on October 14, 2025.

Use Cases

• Compare SQL learning outcomes between traditional and AI-assisted methods based on pre-test and post-test scores.
• Analyze the relationship between perceived technology utility and actual SQL task performance based on TAM dimensions.
• Investigate the influence of prior SQL experience (none, academic, or work) on learning gains and technology acceptance.
• Evaluate student performance on basic versus advanced SQL query tasks based on the 13-exercise practical assignment.

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured quasi-experimental study with 141 participants, providing a controlled research context.
• Includes multiple dependent variables: SQL task performance (basic and advanced) and five dimensions of the Technology Acceptance Model.
• Captures independent variables such as assigned group, gender, and three levels of prior SQL experience.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific statistical methods.
• The sample is limited to computer engineering students from two Spanish universities, which may affect generalizability.
