Dataset of AI adoption usage, expectations, attitudes, perceptions, and motivations for learning in higher education.

This dataset presents the use of artificial intelligence (AI) among university students as a tool for completing academic tasks. A total of 535 data points were collected from students participating in an online survey conducted across 152 universities and 20 provinces in Indonesia. The dataset includes demographic information, educational level, field of study, and the types of AI tools used. It also captures students' use of AI, including performance expectations, challenges in using AI, attitudes toward AI use, perceptions of AI, and motivational intent to use AI. All collected data are described according to the results of descriptive statistical analysis, which aims to both describe and explore the relationships between the constructs. Moreover, this dataset offers significant potential for reuse and further comparative studies for researchers interested in the application of AI in academic contexts. It can serve as a reference for future investigations into the potential determinants influencing AI use in higher education settings. Potential applications include the development of advanced AI tool features tailored to students' specific characteristics and usage priorities.
