الملخص:
هدفت المقالة إلى التعرف على اتجاهات طلبة اإلعالم في الجامعات األردنية نحو توظيف الذكاء
االصطناعي في التعلم في األردن وأبرز التحديات التي يواجهونها في اكتساب المعرفة الكافية
بتدخالت الذكاء االصطناعي .وفي هذا الصدد ،اعتمدنا على منهج المسح القائم على معرفة
ات جاهات طلبة اإلعالم نحو تطبيقات الذكاء االصطناعي في التعلم من خالل استجاباتهم عبر استبانة
مكونة من ( )33فقرة وزعت على عينة عشوائية من 338طالبًا .وكشفت النتائج أن االتجاه األبرز
لدى طلبة اإلعالم نحو استخدام الذكاء االصطناعي في التعلم هو أن الذكاء االصطناعي يساعد على
تحسين كفاءة وسرعة عمليات التحرير وتحسين جودة المحتوى وتعزيز تجربة التعلم .كما أظهرت
النتائج أن مجاالت توظيف الذكاء االصطناعي في التعلم هي التحرير والكتابة اإلعالمية" ،إنتاج
واختراع أشكال جديدة من المواد اإلعالمية" ،واكتشاف المصادر .وأظهرت النتائج أن أبرز عيوب
توظيف الذكاء االصطناعي في التعلم هي إضعاف قدرة الطالب على تنمية مهارات التفكير النقدي
وإضعاف التفاعل اإلنساني المباشر للطالب مع التدريسيين أو الزمالء .وأظهرت أن أهم التحديات
التي تواجه طلبة اإلعالم في توظيف الذكاء االصطناعي هي عدم الوعي بأهمية استخدام الذكاء
االصطناعي في التعليم ،وعدم وجود استراتيجية واضحة في الجامعات األردنية لتطبيق الذكاء
االصطناعي في التعلم.

From the above, it can be said that AI applications help enhance the data
analysis process for faculty, which enhances their role in the educational
process. AI applications also support the student by arousing learning
motivation and motivating him to experiment. AI applications can also
accurately evaluate the student, making it easier for the teacher to detect the
strengths and weaknesses of each student.

The researchers used descriptive and survey methods to suit the study's
nature, based on collecting data and facts, classifying and tabulating them,
sufficiently and accurately analyzing them, and even interpreting these
results(Al-Mazahra, 2020).
The population was media students at (Arab Open, Petra, and Yarmouk)
universities in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The sample consisted of
(338) media students, who were selected using a simple random sampling
method from the population represented by three universities (Arab Open,
Petra, and Yarmouk) in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Table (1) shows
the description and distribution of the sample according to demographic
variables.

DISCUSSION
a. Trends in AI Uses
The results revealed that the most common attitudes and trends of media
students towards using AI in learning are that AI helps improve the
efficiency and speed of editing processes and that its applications can be used
remotely and for collaboration, in addition to its uses in improving the
quality of content, enhancing the learning experience, and increasing the
level of communication, social interaction between students, ease of use and
application. This result, shown by the sample, agreed with what was shown
by the study by Kelly et al. (2023), which showed that many students have
knowledge and experience with AI tools. However, they do not have much
confidence in them, and this confidence increases with experience, and then
they accept and interact with them. These trends are consistent with the
assumptions of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology,
which was proposed to identify the degree of acceptance of people’s use of
technological applications and the intention to use them. The sample trends
also showed that use is linked to two conditions, namely usefulness and ease
of use(Hwang et al., 2016). On the other hand, the use of AI affects, to some
extent, the level of academic achievement, with there being fears about using
AI in learning. In this regard, Sapci & Sapci (2020) showed that the use of
AI in education raises essential concerns related to teaching methods and the
impact on the roles of teachers. Although generative artificial intelligence
(AI) tools such as ChatGPT can enhance student learning, there are
significant concerns about academic integrity in higher education (Sullivan
et al., 2023) and ethical questions related to privacy, discrimination, and
others .

c. Challenges of AI Uses
The results revealed the most critical challenges facing media students in
employing AI, which were the lack of awareness of the importance of using
AI in education and the lack of a clear strategy in Jordanian universities for
applying AI in learning, as well as the weakness of The digital infrastructure
in media colleges in Jordanian universities, the student’s lack of technical
skills in using AI applications and how to make the most of them, the cost of
some artificial intelligence applications, and the difficulty of verifying the
