Authors : Benadda Abdelouahid .

Abstract

The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education is transforming both teaching practices and the principles of student assessment. This study explores the challenges of AI-supported evaluation, focusing on academic integrity, the authenticity of student work, and instructors’ digital readiness. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 20 university teachers across diverse disciplines. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews captured instructors’ perspectives on AI-related assessment concerns and professional development needs, while quantitative data from an online survey measured confidence in AI use, perceived threats to integrity, and the effectiveness of institutional support. Thematic and descriptive analyses revealed a tension between AI’s pedagogical potential and its disruptive effects on conventional assessment models. The findings highlighted the need for innovative evaluation strategies, focused faculty training, and coherent institutional policies to guide responsible AI integration in higher education assessment.
