Abstract

To effectively analyze student usage of AI tools in learning, research should focus on understanding the specific AI tools used, their frequency of use, purpose to use. This study analyses the students’ use of the Artificial Intelligence tool in their learning. Using simple random sampling. Primary data of 153 participants were collected using a questionnaire method via Google Forms. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The questionnaire consists of four sections namely, A: Demographic Information, B: AI Usage in Education, C: Perceived Impact of AI on Academic Development, D: Open-Ended Questions. Altogether there were 14 questions, categorized into four sections. Section A consists of 4 demographics, section B consists of four AI usage, section C consists of one question followed by ten sub questions using Likert’s scale and Section D consists of five open ended questions. The findings reveal that 71% of the students use artificial intelligence tools for academic activities, the first factor accounts for 64.619% of the variance features from the stated observations. Thus, only one component is effective enough in representing all the characteristics or components highlighted by the stated 10 variables and probably 90 % of the students use AI tool to solve academic problems.
