STUDENTS ATTITUDE

The study investigated the influence of artificial intelligence platforms on students’ attitude towards learning in tertiary institutions in Edo State. The main purpose of the study was to examine how AI platforms affect students’ cognitive, emotional, behavioural attitudes, and overall academic behaviour. Data were collected using a structured instrument titled Influence of Artificial Intelligence Platforms on Students’ Attitude Towards Learning Questionnaire (IAPSALQ). A sample size of two hundred (200) students was selected from the University of Benin using a stratified random sampling technique. The study adopted a survey research design, and data were gathered through the administration of questionnaires to the selected respondents. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and percentages for proper interpretation. The findings revealed that artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT, Quillbot, Grok, Turnitin, Copilot, and Duolingo help students think more clearly, understand difficult concepts, generate creative academic ideas, and improve the overall quality and originality of their academic work. The use of these platforms was also found to enhance students’ understanding, memory of key information, and general learning effectiveness. Furthermore, the study revealed that artificial intelligence platforms positively influence students’ emotional and behavioural attitudes towards learning. Students reported increased confidence, motivation, and support, as well as reduced frustration when using AI tools for academic tasks
