AI AND CRITICAL READING SKILL AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on Al-Ghifari University Students’ critical reading skills)
Abstract
This research examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on Al-Ghifari university students' critical reading skills. As AI tools become more common in education, understanding their effects on students' analytical and evaluative abilities is crucial. A survey of 200 students assessed their AI usage for reading assistance, in addition to a reading comprehension test to evaluate critical reading skills. Results showed that 75% of students regularly used AI tools, particularly for text summarization. However, those who relied heavily on AI scored lower in critical reading assessments, indicating a negative correlation between AI usage and performance. These findings suggest that while AI can enhance immediate comprehension, it may hinder deeper analytical engagement. The study highlights the need for a balanced approach to AI integration in education, emphasizing strategies that develop critical reading skills among students.
