- Abstract: This study explores university students' perceptions of generative AI (GenAI)
technologies, such as ChatGPT, in higher education, focusing on familiarity,
their willingness to engage, potential benefits and challenges, and effective
integration. A survey of 399 undergraduate and postgraduate students from
various disciplines in Hong Kong revealed a generally positive attitude towards
GenAI in teaching and learning. Students recognized the potential for
personalized learning support, writing and brainstorming assistance, and
research and analysis capabilities. However, concerns about accuracy, privacy,
ethical issues, and the impact on personal development, career prospects, and
societal values were also expressed. According to John Biggs' 3P model, student
perceptions significantly influence learning approaches and outcomes. By
understanding students' perceptions, educators and policymakers can tailor
GenAI technologies to address needs and concerns while promoting effective
learning outcomes. Insights from this study can inform policy development
around the integration of GenAI technologies into higher education. By
understanding students' perceptions and addressing their concerns, policymakers
can create well-informed guidelines and strategies for the responsible and
effective implementation of GenAI tools, ultimately enhancing teaching and
learning experiences in higher education.
