Project Name

Chinese Postgraduate Students’ Perceptions towards the ethics, challenges, and functions of using AI in their studies in Malaysia

Project Description

The proposed study aims to investigate Chinese postgraduate students' perspectives on the ethical considerations, challenges, and benefits associated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their academic pursuits within the Malaysian higher education landscape. This study could hold significant relevance in understanding the nuances of AI adoption among Chinese students studying in Malaysia, and the insights garnered can contribute to informed decision-making in educational policies and practices related to AI integration. The research questions are structured to address key aspects: a) Ethical considerations perceived by Chinese postgraduate students in Malaysia regarding AI usage in academic studies. b) Challenges Chinese postgraduate students face when integrating AI technologies into research and coursework. c) Perceptions of the functions and benefits of AI in enhancing academic performance and research outcomes among Chinese postgraduate students in Malaysian universities.
