Results of the survey indicate that most students do use GenAI for academic purposes, and the primary uses are to aid in the writing process and to explain topics to themselves.
Abstract
While GenAI can be used as a tool to benefit learning, incorrect use has the potential to negatively impact the user’s critical thinking abilities. It is important for users to be aware of how to use GenAI and what are the limitations of the tool. Prior to developing AI literacy programs, it is useful to know the current uses of GenAI of the study body. This study includes results of an in-class survey consisting of 107 students in a 4th year Civil Engineering Capstone course regarding their use of GenAI. Results of the survey indicate that most students do use GenAI for academic purposes. The primary uses are to aid in the writing process and to explain topics to themselves. From these results, students are currently unloading cognitive work where they should typically be spending time with new knowledge and developing a stronger understanding.
An assignment developed for a large-enrollment, 100-level, general-education, environmental science course at the University of Arizona that provides students with structured opportunities to experiment with and critically evaluate GenAI tools.

Research on student use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools to help with coursework and writing is in its incipient stages. In this exploratory mixed-methods study, we draw on data gathered from sociology students to answer three questions: (1) What are students’ views on using GenAI in coursework, both...

The study found that appropriate uses of GAI tools in the research setting were not straightforwardly obvious for participants, and more is needed to frame the challenges posed by GAI tools for Higher Education across the world as a technical challenge for learning design or for training that addresses the AI literacy...

This article explored the perception of Information Systems Engineering students at the National University (UNA), Interuniversity Campus of Alajuela (SIUA), regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in their university learning. Through a survey of 83 students, aspects such as level of knowledge, frequen...
The spread of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has restated the
importance of the writing-as-a-process concept in EFL instruction, showing that
this new technology can be very helpful in complementing the efforts of human
EFL writers. At the same time, there is a clear lack of research exploring the
way GenAI...
