Artificial Intelligence in the Perception and Experience of Students from a Pedagogical University
Abstract
Introduction: The explosive growth of ChatGPT in 2022 has resulted in the terms “ChatGPT” and “AI” (artificial intelligence) becoming almost synonymous in popular perception and everyday speech.
Research Aim: Identification of knowledge and experiences of students from a pedagogical university related to Artificial Intelligence.
Research Method: Diagnostic survey using an electronic survey questionnaire.
Results: The survey participants had a broad understanding of the concept of AI. They most often identified it with technology (50.00%). The most common use of AI was generating and working with text (51.35%). All of participants had contact with AI, but 15% had not used it. Most of them encountered it for the first time in the media (52.50%), and they most often gained knowledge about AI from the Internet (76.25%). The largest number of students using AI tools (66.18%) indicated text generators, of which 84.44% were ChatGPT. The participants are supporters of using AI in educational institutions, but most of them did not even know the university guidelines regarding the use of AI in education and declared that they were not interested in them. More than half of the participants believed that using AI tools to complete tasks and exams constitutes cheating or plagiarism and is morally wrong.
Conclusions: Attention should be paid to the appropriate preparation of future teachers for the use of AI in their professional work, including this technology in educational programs, while emphasizing ethical and moral issues.
