A Study of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage Behavior for Learning Among Graduate Students at Sisaket Rajabhat University

Abstract

This research aims to study the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for learning among graduate students at Sisaket Rajabhat University. The sample group consisted of 43 students enrolled in the Master of Education Program. The participants were selected using simple random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) a questionnaire on students’ use of artificial intelligence for learning, and 2) a semi-structured interview. The statistics used for quantitative data analysis were descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results regarding students’ behavior in using artificial intelligence for learning were as follows: 58.1% of the students knew or had heard about artificial intelligence; 97.7% had experience using it; and 72.1% stated that it played an important role in their daily lives. In terms of usage frequency, 72.1% reported using artificial intelligence 2–3 times per week. The factors influencing the adoption of artificial intelligence were categorized into 4 dimensions, all of which were rated at a high level overall ( = 4.12, S.D. = 0.36).  The use of artificial intelligence for learning was found to include the following aspects: 1) Purpose of using artificial intelligence: Most students used AI to search for academic information, complete reports, create or summarize content, assist with work tasks, for translation, and entertainment purposes; 2) Experience with artificial intelligence tools: Most students used platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Bing, Copilot, and DeepSeek; and 3) Sources of information about artificial intelligence: Students primarily received information from social media, formal education, training or seminars, and from friends or family.
