Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This exploratory study examines higher education students’ engagement with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Portuguese polytechnic institutions. Based on survey data from 171 students, the research analyzes usage patterns, motivations, perceived barriers, ethical concerns, and self-assessed competence. ChatGPT emerged as the most widely used tool, primarily for grammar correction, drafting texts, and summarizing articles. Students reported strong motivations linked to productivity and academic support, while concerns centered on information reliability, academic integrity, and data privacy. Although most students expressed moderate confidence in using AI, only 53% showed interest in formal training. Ethical engagement was evident through cautious use and information verification, yet formal practices such as citation were inconsistently applied. The findings highlight both the opportunities and challenges of AI use in academic contexts and underscore the need for inclusive, equity-driven educational strategies. Future research will explore how gender influences AI engagement and ethical awareness in higher education.
