Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Thesis. Recent advances in generative AI, learning systems, and automated feedback tools have sparked discussion about the role of AI in education, encompassing technological innovations, pedagogical transformations, and ethical considerations. While educational institutions increasingly experiment with AI-driven tools, the success of these initiatives depends less on technological availability and more on how educators and learners perceive, accept, and intend to use these technologies meaningfully. Concept. The current research presents a conceptual framework for explaining Omani attitudes and intentions about AI adoption in higher education. By combining interdisciplinary literature and including Oman-specific contextual elements, the study seeks to advance theory and lay the groundwork for future empirical research. Results. The suggested framework's central notion is that attitudes toward AI in education serve as a link between essential determinants and intention to use AI. People's readiness to adopt AI into education is ultimately influenced by their overall evaluative attitude Conclusion. Within GCC, Oman presents a particularly important and underexplored context for studying AI in education. Guided by Oman Vision 2040, the country has prioritised education and human capital development as key drivers of sustainable growth. By combining interdisciplinary literature and including Oman-specific contextual elements, the study seeks to advance theory and lay the groundwork for future empirical research.
