dc.description.abstractStudents’ awareness and utilisation of Artificial intelligence (AI) tools is crucial in the 21st century because their ability to positively navigate AI tools can facilitate their academic performance and research productivity. Therefore, this study assessed Islamic Studies undergraduates’ awareness and utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Kwara State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 1,236 Islamic Studies undergraduates in public and private universities in the state. A sample size of 240 students was selected using multi-stage sampling technique. The researcher-developed and validated questionnaire by experts in educational technology and measurement and evaluation was used for data collection and validity index was 0.78. Test re-test method of a two-week interval was employed. A reliability coefficient of 0.82 was obtained using (PPMC) statistics. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions, while independent samples t-test was adopted to test the hypotheses, all at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed a moderate level of awareness of AI tools among Islamic studies undergraduates, and their level of utilisation was occasional. The study further found no significant difference in Islamic studies undergraduates' awareness and utilisation of AI tools based on gender and university type. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that universities and educators should organize regular digital literacy workshops, and provide institutional support in order to encourage students to integrate AI tools into their academic and research practices for the purpose of enhancing their productivity and technological competence.
