Artificial Intelligence in the Study Habits of Students
Abstract
The study aims to evaluate and analyze the artificial intelligence in the study habits of students. Mixed methods are utilized in the study which deals on the Focus Group Discussion and triangulation for both quantitative and qualitative research design. The study comprised One Hundred Fifty (150) students from both private and public Higher Education Institutions. Results show that AI helps in the analysis of the platform AI educational power in enhancing learning engagement and motivation benefits of students, show that AI is an important factor toward learning of students in the goal setting towards learning belief problem solving abilities, and external and inner motivation in the academic performance of the students, show that AI focuses on the process of learning collection for the insights of specific function input and output model of learning, show that AI increases and enhances literacy for students to motivate learning process, confidence, purpose, and to promote learning intelligence and ethics, and show to influence the behavior of students in the learning process such as the algorithm for the AI power in the data analysis, preference, customized news feed, curated behavior, and significant recommendation. Findings show that there is a significant agreement on the effect of artificial intelligence in the study habits of students as observed among the respondents.
