The Evolution of Student Trust in AI-Assisted Assignments
Analysis suggests that student perspectives toward generative tools often migrate from a perception of the tool as an instrument for academic dishonesty to a view of it as a collaborative resource [3]. This transformation is contingent upon the level of instructor guidance and the integration of AI within the learning process rather than as an external, prohibited entity. The evidence indicates that while students value the feedback loop provided by AI, the absence of human oversight creates a deficit in trust and learning outcomes, highlighting the need for a calibrated approach to educational AI usage [3].
