Unveiling Chinese youth students’ AI adoption goals and experiences: An achievement goal theory (AGT) perspective
Different studies have been done on various tools and technologies powered by artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years. However, the role of age groups in using and perceiving AI tools has been ignored in academic contexts. To fill the gap, this qualitative research aimed to explore Chinese youth students’ perceived AI adoption goals and experiences. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 58 general education students. The results of thematic analysis showed different AI adoption goals and experiences. The students had employed AI tools for ‘deep learning and understanding’, ‘personal growth and skill development’, ‘discovery of novel ideas and solutions’, ‘others’ outperformance and surpassing’, and ‘praise and recognition attainment’. Regarding experiences, the participants referred to four themes, namely ‘the emotional impact of AI on learners’, ‘providing a personalized and adaptive learning path’, ‘AI-mediated language learning’, and ‘the ethical considerations of AI technologies’. The findings are discussed and implications are provided for youth students, teachers, and educators to augment their AI literacy and help them set realistic goals and orientations regarding the use of AI tools.
期刊介绍:
Learning and Motivation features original experimental research devoted to the analysis of basic phenomena and mechanisms of learning, memory, and motivation. These studies, involving either animal or human subjects, examine behavioral, biological, and evolutionary influences on the learning and motivation processes, and often report on an integrated series of experiments that advance knowledge in this field. Theoretical papers and shorter reports are also considered.
