Exploring the Impact of AI Tools on Student Learning Through Text Mining

Abstract

This study addresses the research gap regarding the impact of AI tools on student learning, recognizing their increasing role in educational settings and the potential implications for learning outcomes. The objective was to evaluate students’ perceptions and the effectiveness of AI tools in enhancing their learning experiences. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing an online survey to collect data from 251 4th-year undergraduate students and applying text mining techniques for frequency and text mining analysis. Due to their significant presence in academic activities, the study focused on the five most commonly used AI tools - Quillbot, ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quizizz, and Brainly. Findings revealed predominantly positive sentiments (82.87%) regarding AI’s role in improving writing, problem-solving, and information-processing skills, alongside concerns about over-dependence on AI and its impact on critical thinking. The results emphasize the importance of fostering a balanced use of AI tools and promoting AI literacy among students. Educators are encouraged to carefully incorporate these resources to improve instruction while fostering fundamental human abilities, guaranteeing the overall growth of their students.
