"Some of the results are perhaps surprising: Relatively few students say that generative AI has diminished the value of college, in their view, and nearly all of them want their institutions to address academic integrity concerns-albeit via a proactive approach rather than a punitive one. Another standout: Half of students who use AI for coursework say it's having mixed effects on their critical thinking abilities, while a quarter report it's helping them learn better."
"The majority of students, some 85 percent, indicate they've used generative AI for coursework in the last year. The top three uses from a long list of options are: brainstorming ideas (55 percent), asking it questions like a tutor (50 percent) and studying for exams or quizzes (46 percent). Treating it like an advanced search engine also ranks high. Some other options present more of a gray area for supporting authentic learning, such as editing work and generating summaries."
Eighty-five percent of students used generative AI for coursework in the past year, mainly for brainstorming (55 percent), tutoring-style questions (50 percent) and studying for exams (46 percent). Many students treat AI like an advanced search engine, while uses such as editing and generating summaries raise authenticity questions about prior engagement and edit substance. Fewer students report using AI to complete assignments (25 percent) or write full essays (19 percent). Half of students who use AI for coursework say it has mixed effects on critical thinking, and one quarter say it helps them learn better. Nearly all students want institutions to address academic integrity through proactive rather than punitive approaches, even as higher education struggles to lead on AI.
