Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) has swiftly revolutionised the world, significantly transforming higher education as new technologies are integrated into teaching and learning activities. Generative AI (GAI) offers numerous benefits to students. Despite its benefits, several factors influence students’ perceptions of using these tools in their educational pursuits. Understanding students’ perceptions is crucial for universities to determine how these technologies can be effectively integrated into their teaching and learning environment. Based on the foregoing, this study conducted a systematic literature review to investigate students' perceptions of GAI tools in their learning practices. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), together with social influence and perceived cost, were used as a lens to examine students’ perceptions of GAI tools in their learning environment. We examined a total of 27 articles published between 2022 and 2025, using data sources such as Taylor and Francis, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The findings reveal that many students found GAI tools beneficial for their academic endeavours, easy to navigate and use. Moreover, students asserted that their perceptions of GAI tools are shaped by influential figures (lecturers and family). However, students have admitted that their hesitancy towards using it is due to concerns about plagiarism and academic integrity. Therefore, future research should explore how higher education students can ethically use GAI in their learning environment.
