Research consistently indicates that post-graduate students demonstrate generally positive attitudes toward AI integration in both classroom and workplace contexts. A comprehensive survey of 399 undergraduate and postgraduate students in Hong Kong revealed generally positive attitudes toward GenAI in teaching and learning. This finding aligns with international patterns, where a study of 1113 participants revealed positive attitudes toward AI in higher education, with stakeholders recognizing its potential to enhance teaching and learning.
However, attitudes vary significantly based on cultural, academic, and demographic factors. Research indicates no significant gender differences in AI attitudes, but significant differences among academic streams, with science students showing more positive attitudes. Thai research supports these findings, with 911 students across 10 Thai universities demonstrating significant acceptance factors including expected benefits, perceived usefulness, attitude toward technology, and behavioral intention.
AI integration in educational settings presents both opportunities and challenges. Mixed-method research reveals that AI applications stimulate creativity by introducing new ideas and problem-solving techniques, but also constrain creativity through rigid frameworks and emotional disengagement. This dual nature requires careful consideration in implementation strategies.
The pedagogical effectiveness of AI tools varies significantly across different educational contexts. Systematic reviews of 146 studies reveal that most AI applications in higher education focus on student profiling and prediction rather than direct pedagogical applications. This suggests a gap between AI's potential and its current educational implementation.
Post-graduate students express strong concerns about workplace readiness in an AI-driven economy. Students want to be partners, not passengers, seeking to help shape how AI is integrated into education and how it prepares them for future careers. This sentiment reflects the growing recognition that AI literacy will be essential for professional success.
Thai educational initiatives address these concerns through comprehensive skill development programs. The collaboration between Thailand's Ministry of Education and Microsoft aims to enhance AI skills for over 1 million Thais by 2025, targeting the development of 30,000 AI specialists and 10 million citizens with AI literacy.
Cultural factors significantly influence AI acceptance and implementation patterns. Thai research demonstrates unique characteristics in AI adoption, with high student acceptance of generative AI tools showing performance expectancy scores of M=3.66, SD=.58, and positive correlations between engagement and academic performance. However, medical students in Thailand show limited basic AI understanding (31%) despite strong recognition of its career value (93.6%), indicating the need for enhanced AI education.
Despite positive attitudes, significant challenges remain. Students report that over-reliance on AI was starting to have negative effects on work quality, causing them to re-evaluate its use. Additionally, students express anxiety about the speed of AI developments and concerns about data privacy and behavioral prediction.
The ethical implications of AI in education require careful consideration. Participants raised ethical concerns about biases in AI algorithms and the ethical use of AI in education, particularly regarding fairness and equity in academic evaluations.
Analysis reveals several critical research gaps requiring attention:
The literature reveals a complex landscape of post-graduate student attitudes toward AI use in classroom and workplace settings. While attitudes are generally positive, significant variations exist based on cultural, academic, and demographic factors. Educational institutions must balance the potential benefits of AI integration with concerns about creativity constraints, ethical implications, and workplace readiness.

การศึกษาวรรณกรรมครั้งนี้ได้ทบทวนงานวิจัย 20 เรื่อง ประกอบด้วยงานวิจัยไทย 10 เรื่อง และงานวิจัยต่างประเทศ 10 เรื่อง ในช่วงปี พ.ศ. 2563-2568 เพื่อศึกษาทัศนคติของนักศึกษาระดับบัณฑิตศึกษาต่อการใช้ปัญญาประดิษฐ์ในการเรียนการสอนและการเตรียมความพร้อมสู่โลกการทำงาน
ทัศนคติและการยอมรับเทคโนโลยี: งานวิจัยส่วนใหญ่แสดงให้เห็นว่านักศึกษามีทัศนคติในเชิงบวกต่อการใช้ปัญญาประดิษฐ์ โดยเฉพาะการศึกษาในฮ่องกงที่พบว่านักศึกษา 399 คนมีทัศนคติเชิงบวกต่อการใช้ GenAI ในการเรียนการสอน การศึกษาในประเทศไทยจากมหาวิทยาลัยชั้นนำ 10 แห่งพบผลสนับสนุนแนวทางเดียวกัน
การบูรณาการในการศึกษา: การนำปัญญาประดิษฐ์เข้ามาใช้ในการศึกษามีทั้งโอกาสและความท้าทาย งานวิจัยชี้ให้เห็นว่า AI สามารถกระตุ้นความคิดสร้างสรรค์ผ่านแนวคิดใหม่และเทคนิคการแก้ปัญหา แต่ในขณะเดียวกันก็อาจจำกัดความคิดสร้างสรรค์ผ่านกรอบการทำงานที่เป็นแบบแผน
การเตรียมความพร้อมสู่โลกการทำงาน: นักศึกษาแสดงความกังวลอย่างมากเกี่ยวกับความพร้อมในการทำงานในยุคที่ขับเคลื่อนด้วย AI รัฐบาลไทยได้ตอบสนองผ่านความร่วมมือกับไมโครซอฟท์เพื่อพัฒนาทักษะ AI ให้กับคนไทยกว่า 1 ล้านคนภายในปี 2568
ปัจจัยทางวัฒนธรรมและบริบท: งานวิจัยแสดงให้เห็นความแตกต่างทางวัฒนธรรมในการยอมรับ AI อย่างชัดเจน การศึกษาในประเทศไทยพบว่านักศึกษาแพทย์มีความเข้าใจพื้นฐานเกี่ยวกับ AI เพียง 31% แต่มีการยอมรับคุณค่าของการฝึกอบรม AI สูงถึง 93.6%
ความท้าทายและข้อพิจารณาด้านจริยธรรม: แม้จะมีทัศนคติเชิงบวก แต่ยังคงมีความท้าทายสำคัญ นักศึกษารายงานว่าการพึ่งพา AI มากเกินไปเริ่มส่งผลเสียต่อคุณภาพของงาน ทำให้ต้องประเมินการใช้งานใหม่
การทบทวนวรรณกรรมครั้งนี้แสดงให้เห็นภาพรวมที่ซับซ้อนของทัศนคติของนักศึกษาบัณฑิตศึกษาต่อการใช้ AI ในการศึกษาและการทำงาน แม้ว่าทัศนคติโดยรวมจะเป็นไปในเชิงบวก แต่ยังมีความแตกต่างอย่างมากตามปัจจัยทางวัฒนธรรม การศึกษา และประชากรศาสตร์ สถาบันการศึกษาต้องสร้างสมดุลระหว่างประโยชน์ที่อาจได้รับจากการบูรณาการ AI กับข้อกังวลเกี่ยวกับข้อจำกัดความคิดสร้างสรรค์ ผลกระทบด้านจริยธรรม และความพร้อมในการทำงาน
