Students' Perceptions and Attitudes Towards The use of AI for learning in the University of Lagos
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Understanding students’ perceptions and attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial, particularly as these technologies become increasingly integrated into academic environments. At the University of Lagos, tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used for tasks such as research, writing, and studying. While many students view AI as a means to enhance learning and productivity (Idroes et al., 2023; Zhou et al., 2024), concerns remain about over-reliance, academic integrity, and the disruption of traditional teaching methods (Han et al., 2023). Despite the growing presence of AI in higher education, existing research tends to focus on broader trends, leaving a gap in our understanding of how students at the University of Lagos specifically perceive, engage with, and adopt these tools. As AI continues to evolve, it is important to investigate these perceptions to guide responsible and effective integration into learning environments (Obidovna, 2024). This study, therefore, seeks to examine students’ awareness, attitudes, perceived ease of use, and factors influencing their adoption of AI for academic purposes.
