What the study found

Students in this study viewed generative artificial intelligence, or GAI, as helpful for academic work, especially for saving time and supporting language and critical thinking skills. They also recognized concerns about privacy, information reliability, and plagiarism.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors conclude that these findings can help educational institutions design policies and learning strategies that make use of GAI while reducing its risks. They also say the study may support the development of digital literacy and more adaptive academic policies.

What the researchers tested

The researchers surveyed 71 students in a Library and Information Science program who had used GAI in academic activities. They collected responses with a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed the data descriptively using SPSS software.

What worked and what didn't

Students reported that GAI facilitated academic tasks and improved time efficiency. The abstract also says they perceived gains in language and critical thinking skills, but they identified privacy risks, unreliable information, and possible plagiarism as challenges.

What to keep in mind

The study was limited to 71 students from one Library and Information Science program, so its scope is narrow. The abstract does not describe additional limitations.

Key points

  • The study surveyed 71 students who had used generative AI in academic activities.
  • Students said GAI helped with academic tasks and time efficiency.
  • Students also reported improvements in language and critical thinking skills.
  • Concerns included privacy risks, unreliable information, and plagiarism.
  • The abstract says academic integrity awareness remained high.
