Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education

Artificial intelligence has integrated itself into our everyday lives. The use of AI in education is not a new topic. The research aimed to explore the attitudes, experiences and potential applications of professionals working with children in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. A questionnaire method was used in the research. The survey included 122 participants (n=122). The results showed that the majority of respondents have a positive opinion of AI, even if they do not actively use it in their daily lives. Among the application areas of AI, data collection stands out in terms of popularity, while in other areas (e.g. preparing presentations, preparing for class, preparing assignments, searching for scientific literature), its uptake is more moderate but significant among respondents. Results show that AI is mostly used for tasks that facilitate information gathering and content creation. Most respondents think that AI can be used in certain areas, and there is a significant minority that is positive about its future use. There is great potential for future applications in education, although current experience and applications have not yet triggered a full-scale transformation.
