    The main purpose of this study is to identity the use of AI tools in promoting student performance in higher education institutions. This study followed a systematic literature review method. A total of 101 articles were selected for the final analysis process. These were followed the inclusion criteria decided by the researcher. Four themes were developed based on the research questions. First theme was the impact of AI tools on student performance in higher education institutes. According to analysis, it was identified that use of AI tools can enhance the learning process and student engagement which can improve the student performance. Main AI tools used in higher education were Chat GPT, and Gen AI which was identified under the analysis of second theme. According to the analysis, the main Perceived Benefits of using AI were effective learning and teaching process, and personalized learning facilities. However, there were several ethical issues in universities in using AI for education (Theme 03). Further, it was highlighted that positive attitudes and investment in infrastructure is crucial for implementing AI in higher education. Based on the findings, it was suggested that the Sri Lankan policymakers and university administrations should develop policies to promote ethical use AI tools (ChatGPT) to promote student performance. Providing training sessions for both students and educators on effectively using Chat GPT and Gen AI for research, collaboration, and assignment assistance can further enhance learning outcomes.

    A Narrative Exploration of Quality in Higher Education
    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies University of Kelaniya., 2024-11-01) Chathurangani, D. S.; Wickramasinghe, C.N.
    The pursuit of quality in higher education is a complex challenge driven by diverse stakeholder perspectives, such as staff, students, and employers. This study investigates quality in higher education through a narrative review of recent literature. The review explores the perceptions and implementations of quality initiatives across various contexts. The methodology includes a narrative review of journal articles published between 2014 and 2024, retrieved from databases. Key findings reveal a significant disconnect between stakeholders' definitions of quality, challenges balancing accountability with genuine improvement, and cultural and contextual barriers in applying Western quality models globally. The study underscores the necessity for a strategic approach that integrates quality processes to foster a culture of continuous improvement and academic excellence. It also reveals the emerging concept of quality work, which focuses on academic staff's practical, everyday efforts in enhancing educational quality and improving student achievement. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on quality in higher education by identifying gaps in quality-related practices and proposing future research directions, including the role of cultural contexts and integrating quality enhancement processes for holistic institutional improvement and academic success.
