Generative artificial intelligence: University student awareness, experience, and confidence in use across disciplines

Abstract

The global higher education sector has been significantly disrupted by the proliferation of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, especially in relation to its implications for assessment. However, few studies to date have explored student perspectives on these tools. This article reports on one of the first large-scale quantitative studies of student views on generative artificial intelligence at an Australian university (n = 1,135). When the survey was conducted, most students had low knowledge, experience, and confidence in using these tools. These results varied across disciplines and across some student sub-groups, such as mature-age students and international students. Confidence appeared to increase with experience, although the data also revealed a portion of students that have never used these tools yet still felt confident in using them. In exploring these results, this article aims to shed new light on this fast-evolving landscape and inform the future direction of supporting students to engage with generative artificial intelligence tools appropriately.

    The release of generative artificial intelligence tools in late 2022 and early 2023 caused major disruption to university teaching and learning worldwide.

    “The open-access release of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in late 2022 and early 2023 prompted a major disruption to the teaching and learning practices of universities worldwide.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The survey respondents are representative of the university's student population.

    “The survey was sent to all students to understand their awareness, perceptions, and use of GenAI.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The survey instrument validly measures students' knowledge, experience, and confidence regarding generative artificial intelligence.

    “The tenitem survey was designed with a mix of closed-ended questions, open-ended questions, and Likert questions clustered into five categories: demographics; knowledge, experience, confidence, and perceptions about GenAI.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Excluding incomplete responses did not substantially bias the results.

    “Unfinished and incomplete responses were excluded from the data analysis (n = 450).”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The discipline categories used by the university meaningfully group students for comparison.

    “These have been grouped into each of the University's Schools.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    There is a lack of research into student perspectives on GenAI to date.

    “the lack of research into student perspectives of these tools to date limits the conclusions that can be drawn about how students will engage in practice.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    This study is one of the first published to explore student perspectives on GenAI.

    “While this study is one of the first published that explores student perspectives on GenAI”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
