 1. INTRODUCTION
In this report, we will explore the impact of AI on student learning outcomes.
Furthermore, this report will look at how AI can be used to assist and support student
learning. This report uses a one-sample hypothesis test to compare the survey results of
WSU students on the endorsement of AI as an effective learning support tool, and two
sample hypothesis tests to harvest the learning outcomes of two groups of students with
and without using AI, and paired testing to compare the learning outcomes of students
before and after using AI in learning, to draw conclusions about the impact of AI on
student learning outcomes. By exploring the impact of AI on student performance, we
hope to provide insights that can help educators and policymakers make informed
decisions about the use of AI in education.

2. METHODOLOGY
2.1 Reseach method:
During the quantitative study phase, the group aims to investigate the factors influencing
the academic performance of students at Western Sydney University regarding the
impulsive use of AI for academic purposes. The objective is to determine whether AI has
an impact on studying. The chosen method for this stage is an online survey conducted
through the Google Forms platform. A questionnaire has been developed to gather key
findings contributing to the overall results.

The questionnaire comprises two parts to diversify the information obtained from the
survey. The initial section focuses on collecting respondents' demographics, including
gender, age, studying stage at Western Sydney University, and whether they use AI for
academic purposes. The subsequent sections present two options: if respondents choose
'Yes,' they proceed to another part collecting detailed information about the AI they use
and how it directly affects their academic performance based on their latest
achievements. In the 'No' section, respondents provide reasons for not using AI, allowing
for a comprehensive analysis of the necessity and effectiveness of AI in the learning
environment. The form is designed with tick boxes and fillable gaps, facilitating
optimized participant responses.

The survey garnered participation from one hundred individuals aged 18 to 21,
encompassing all genders and enrolled at Western Sydney University. The collected
results from the survey were subsequently analyzed using statistical software.
2.2 Clean data:
After receiving responses from survey participants, we used Excel to store the answer
data. Subsequently, we organized the data sequentially and based on specific attributes.
During this process, we also eliminated erroneous data and any non-valuable entries,
while normalizing the dataset. And below is the data we cleaned

the survey

AI in learning

Graph 4: The given bar chart presents data on the number of students agreeing and
disagreeing that AI is an ideal tool to help students learn.

learning.

Graph 6: The bar chart provides information on the average grade of WSU students
before and after using AI.

AI for the most recent semester

3.2 Do hypothesis test:

3.2.1 One sample hypothesis test:
In this test, we will use the reference value = .67 (Quizlet, 2023) to compare with
the actual survey results of 80 WSU students regarding whether they agree that AI is an
ideal tool to help students develop and enhance the effectiveness of learning.
Link of the reference value: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/quizlets-state-
of-ai-in-education-survey-reveals-teachers-are-surprise-ai-champions-301884427.html.
Result of survey: 51/80 agree that AI is an ideal tool to help students develop and
enhance the effectiveness of learning  p=0.6375
H0: π ≥ .67 ( survey rate is the same or greater than the article’s rate)
H1: π < .67 ( survey rate has fallen below the article’s rate)
For α = .05 in the left tail test, the critical value is . = -1.645, so
 Reject If < -1.645
Otherwise do not reject
Normality assumption check:
n = 80 x .67= 53.6 ≥ 10
n(1- )= 80 x .33= 26.4 ≥ 10
Since these conditions are met, normality is assumed:
. .
= = = -0.618
( )
. ( . )

Since = -0.618 is greater than -1.645, we fail to reject

From this calculation, we can see that in reality, the majority of students still believe that
AI can greatly assist them in their studies, potentially bringing more benefits than hidden
drawbacks.

3.2.2 Two sample hypothesis test:

In this test, we will examine the scores of two groups of students, one with AI support
and the other without AI support during the previous semester. The purpose is to
determine whether there is a significant difference and to assess whether AI truly has an

8
impact on academic performance. ( The data of this test is summarized in Sheet 3 of
Cleandata file)
Group 1: No AI support ; : 7.08 : 0.235 : 40
Group 2: Use AI support ; : 7.92 : 0.273 : 40
Unknown variance but assumed equal:
: =
: ≠
First, we need to calculate Pooled variance
( ) ( ) ( ) . ( ) .
= = = 0.254
Secondly, we will find to compare with
. .
= = . .
= -7.454

And now, lets we check at α = .01 for two tailed test  α/2 = .005 and we also have
df= + − 2 = 78
.
= 2.64
Since | |>| |, we reject
From the examined data, it is evident that there is a significant difference in scores
between the two groups. This concurrently suggests that the utilization of AI has a
substantial impact on students' academic performance, potentially assisting them in
demonstrating better results and achieving higher grades in their studies compared to
non-users.
3.2.3 Paired test:
Finally, the purpose of conducting a paired test on the group of students who used AI
in the previous semester with scores before and after using AI to support learning is to
examine whether there is a significant change in scores and to understand the nature of
that change. (The data of this test is summarized in Sheet 2 of Cleandata file )
̅ : 0.523
: 0.441
n : 40
We will choose the right tailed test for this hypotheses:
μ≤0
>0
Calculate the test statistic:
.
= = . = 7.5
√ √

Now, we will check at α = .005 with df = n-1=40-1=39 for right tailed test
.
= 2.708
As we can see, since > . , we reject .
From this calculation, we can observe a statistically significant difference in scores
before and after using AI to support the learning of this group. It indicates that AI, to
some extent, can assist students in improving and enhancing their academic performance.
It suggests that AI may contribute to helping students enhance the quality of their
learning.

 4. CONCLUSION
In summary, when applied properly, artificial intelligence (AI) is a great tool for students
to employ in their studies. Moreover, the striking disparity in the two groups' academic
results offers strong proof of the major influence AI integration may have on student
learning outcomes. Furthermore, the statistically significant difference between the pre-
and post-AI results shows not just the impact of AI but also suggests that it may inspire
students to perform well academically. In summary, this research makes it abundantly
evident that artificial intelligence (AI) may be a useful tool for raising the standard of
education and giving pupils a better chance at succeeding academically.
