headline: The AI generation gap: Are Gen Z students more interested in adopting generative AI such as ChatGPT in teaching and learning than their Gen X and millennial generation teachers?
dek: Abstract This study aimed to explore the experiences, perceptions, knowledge, concerns, and intentions of Generation Z (Gen Z) students with Generation X (Gen X) and Generation Y (Gen Y) teachers regarding the use of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education. A sample of students and teachers were recruited to investigate the above using a survey consisting of both open and closed questions. The findings showed that Gen Z participants were generally optimistic about the potential benefits of GenAI, including enh…
gain_title: Gen Z students in higher education reported optimism that generative AI could improve learning through enhanced productivity, efficiency and personalized learning and expressed intentions to use it for educational purposes.
problem_title: Gen X and Gen Y teachers reported heightened concerns that student use of generative AI in higher education could lead to overreliance and create ethical and pedagogical problems without proper guidelines and policies.
trace_subject: use of generative AI in higher education teaching and learning
gain_reading: Gen Z students in higher education reported optimism that generative AI could improve learning through enhanced productivity, efficiency and personalized learning and expressed intentions to use it for educational purposes.
gain_evidence: enhanced productivity, efficiency, and personalized learning | expressed intentions to use GenAI for various educational purposes
problem_reading: Gen X and Gen Y teachers reported heightened concerns that student use of generative AI in higher education could lead to overreliance and create ethical and pedagogical problems without proper guidelines and policies.
problem_evidence: expressed heightened concerns about overreliance, ethical and pedagogical implications | need for proper guidelines and policies to ensure responsible use of the technology
quick_read: A November 2023 peer-reviewed study surveyed Generation Z students and Generation X and Generation Y teachers about generative AI in higher education. Gen Z respondents were generally optimistic about benefits such as productivity and personalized learning and said they intended to use the tools for educational purposes, while Gen X and Gen Y teachers acknowledged benefits but reported stronger concerns about overreliance and ethical and pedagogical implications.

The contrast matters because it shows adoption is not just a technical question but a generational and governance one for universities. The findings point to a need for evidence-based policies, critical thinking and digital literacy training, and approaches that combine AI with traditional teaching, though the abstract does not report sample size, institutional context, or measured learning outcomes, leaving how intentions translate into practice uncertain.

key_points: Survey of Gen Z students and Gen X and Gen Y teachers used open and closed questions to explore experiences, perceptions, knowledge, concerns and intentions regarding generative AI. | Gen Z participants were generally optimistic about benefits and reported intentions to use GenAI for various educational purposes. | Gen X and Gen Y teachers acknowledged potential benefits but reported heightened concerns about overreliance and ethical and pedagogical implications.
rundown: The study recruited a sample of students and teachers and administered a survey with both open and closed questions to capture experiences, perceptions, knowledge, concerns and intentions about generative AI.

Findings contrasted generational perspectives: Gen Z students emphasized productivity, efficiency and personalized learning benefits and intent to use, while Gen X and Gen Y teachers stressed overreliance risks and the need to combine technology with traditional methods and develop evidence-based guidelines.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0988 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
