Abstract

In the aftermath of COVID-19, colleges and universities have faced many challenges that negatively impacted students' Critical Thinking (CR). Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into learning and teaching processes positively affects learners' self-efficacy, motivation, and regulated learning abilities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly become a transformative educational power, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance learning experiences and outcomes. This literature review examines the effects of AI-assisted learning applications on Critical Thinking skills in higher education. It provides valuable presentations of AI tools, Critical Thinking elements, and research-based strategies to integrate AI technologies properly into higher education classrooms. The review also addresses the negative impact of excessive use of AI on developing learners' independent problem-solving abilities. Therefore, balanced integration is crucial to ensure the use of AI as a complement in the teaching process. The report, therefore, suggests a more robust framework promoting CR skills in synthesizing AI-generated information. The implications of the findings were discussed, and pedagogical strategies were recommended to prepare students for the challenges of AI-driven knowledge. Additionally, educators' guided grids were shared to stimulate self-reflection, increase awareness of learning progress, and make performance levels visible.
