Abstract

This study aims to examine Gen Y faculty's attitudes and behaviors towards AI-enabled educational tools for improving student learning in higher education, specifically in emerging economies. Integrating three notable theories of technology adoptions, this study employs a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey. A total of 246 responses is collected using a purposive sampling strategy targeted at Gen Y faculty (born between 1981 and 1994) currently teaching at various Bangladeshi universities. Data is analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results corroborate that the PE and EE have a considerable impact on the PU and PEU, respectively, which in turn favorably influences a positive attitude about adopting the AI-enabled tools. This attitude toward using AI-enabled tools and perceived behavioral control is found to positively influence the faculty's intention to adopt AI-powered educational tools in their teaching and academic activities. These findings offer several theoretical and practical contributions.
