Bridging The Gap: University Students' Attitude on The Integration of AI Technologies in Education

Abstract
As artificial intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly significant role in higher education, it is vital to understand how students perceive its application in their learning experiences. This study examines students' attitudes toward the integration of AI technologies in academic environments, considering both the exciting opportunities and the concerns they have encountered in the classroom. The research involved 120 university students from various disciplines at the Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, who have incorporated AI into their studies. Through questionnaires, these students expressed their thoughts and experiences regarding the role of AI in education, offering valuable insights into its effects on their learning processes. The questionnaire was tailored to fit the Iranian educational context to assess university students’ attitudes. The findings indicate that a majority of students are optimistic about AI's potential to enhance their education, support their learning, and simplify administrative tasks. However, they also emphasized that more attention should be paid to the integration of AI into the curriculum. Despite the growing prevalence of AI across different fields, many university students have yet to take courses on these subject, and numerous professors have not adequately incorporated AI into their teaching practices. This paper discusses the implications of these attitudes for educators and institutions, highlighting the importance of addressing student needs and concerns. By understanding students’ perspectives, we can better tailor the use of AI in higher education to foster a more effective and supportive learning environment.
