The Effects Of Ai Overreliance On Student Higher-order Thinking Skills Development

Résumé: The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about several merits and demerits across multiple life sectors, and education is no exception. AI has recently been an integral part of modern education, offering numerous benefits that enhance accessibility and efficiency in learning. While AI technologies have revolutionised education, they present significant challenges due to students' overuse and excessive reliance. Such overreliance hinders students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills when they excessively depend on automated solutions. The present study investigates the impact of university students’ overreliance on AI tools on their higher-order thinking skills development. In this context, an e-questionnaire survey is distributed to Algerian university teachers to investigate students’ use of AI in learning and gather insights into their experiences, perceptions, and frequency of AI tool usage in their academic studies. The findings highlight a need to balance AI-assisted learning and the development of essential academic skills.
