Artificial Intelligence and Critical Thinking in University Students
Artificial Intelligence and Critical Thinking in
University Students: A Honduran Perspective
The integration of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Critical Thinking (CT) in education has become
a transformative force shaping how students learn, analyze, and engage with
information. A recent study titled “Artificial Intelligence and Critical
Thinking in University Students”, published in the Journal of Biomedical
Research & Environmental Sciences, offers vital insights into how
students in Honduras perceive and apply these concepts in academic settings.
๐ Study Overview
Conducted across various public and
private universities in Choluteca, Honduras, this research surveyed 236
students to assess:
- Their familiarity with AI technologies
- Their ability to engage in critical analysis
- The intersection of these competencies in academic
contexts
The study employed a structured
questionnaire addressing both sociodemographic data and specific questions
related to CT and AI.
๐ Key Findings
- CT Skills:
Many students exhibit basic critical thinking traits like questioning
media narratives and seeking evidence. However, few demonstrate deep
analytical skills such as data validation or argument construction with
scientific evidence.
- AI Awareness:
While most participants are aware of basic AI applications like virtual
assistants and recommendation systems, detailed knowledge (e.g., machine
learning algorithms or data privacy concerns) remains limited.
- Academic Use of AI:
A significant number of students report using AI tools (e.g., chatbots,
essay generators), indicating that AI is becoming embedded in academic
work.

Educational Implications
The study concludes that although
students are not entirely unfamiliar with AI, critical judgment needs to
be systematically developed from secondary to tertiary education. As AI tools
become more prevalent, institutions must:
- Emphasize reflective learning strategies
- Offer AI literacy programs
- Train educators to integrate ethical AI use into
curricula
