| Summary: | This study explores international students' perceptions of GenAI technologies in higher education, focusing on how gender and age influence their willingness to adopt. A survey of 122 international graduate students from a private university in South Korea showed that the students are generally familiar with GenAI and its uses in learning. However, its usage varied in frequency. The study also finds that male students are more likely to use GenAI than female students. Additionally, the study revealed age-related differences in the willingness of international students to adopt GenAI, with younger students showing more interest and willingness than older students. However, despite the differences in interest levels in adopting GenAI among genders and ages, the study revealed that overall, there is a general willingness among international students to learn and apply GenAI technologies to their studies. The South Korean education system can be reformed to accommodate the emerging and growing relevance of GenAI in education by developing ethical capacities that will enhance learning while addressing students’ concerns. |
