Abstract

Several higher education institutions recommended active learning many decades ago. In many fields, artificial intelligence (AI) has turned out to be a dominant aspect of people's lives. One of the fields that welcome AI is education. AI can play a crucial role in active learning, which is a teaching method that encourages students to take an active role in their learning process. Active learning can involve a wide range of activities, such as problemsolving, group discussions, and self-reflection. This quantitative research paper aims to explore students' engagement and perceptions of patterns of embracing AI tools and their relationship to student learning outcomes. A diverse sample of 355 students from a highly reputable university in the United Arab Emirates participated in the research study (UAE). Descriptive Analysis and Correlation Coefficient were used to achieve the paper's objectives. Findings uncovered students’ high engagement level in classroom activities, and they perceived AI tools as useful and effortless, which promotes their engagement and attention inside classrooms. Furthermore, the results demonstrated the existence of a positive association between students' perceptions of embracing AI and student engagement in the learning environment. However, students’ learning outcomes have a non-remarkable association with student engagement and their perception of AI patterns. The study's findings suggest embracing and promoting AI applications in classrooms to keep students engaged. This study's use of Neutrosophic sets offers a fresh way to approach the problem of ambiguity when evaluating students' opinions and performance in relation to AI technologies. Neutrosophic sets, a mathematical framework designed to manage uncertainty, provide a sophisticated way to understand how students' complicated interactions with AI operate. This integration promises a more comprehensive and flexible educational paradigm and is a trailblazing method of negotiating the complexities of active learning in higher education.
