This contribution examines and compares undergraduate students’ views of the Faculty of Education, University of Primorska regarding their usage and attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence (AI). 105 full-time undergraduate students participated in the survey. The research on the students’ views reveals constructs regarding use, attitude, and ethical aspects and their intercorrelations. The normality of the data, the mean values, and the interpretation of the constructs, as well as the validity and correlations between the constructs, are analyzed. Also, students are recognized for their curiosity and positive attitude toward integrating AI technologies into their everyday practice and learning. Although, on average, students can relatively easily become acquainted with new AI tools, they encounter challenges when using these technologies in decision-making. The findings of the correlation analysis between constructs of usage and attitudes, conducted on undergraduate students, indicate that attitudes towards integrating AI in their everyday practice to a certain extent predict future attitudes and usage towards AI.

摘要

This contribution examines and compares undergraduate students’ views of the Faculty of Education, University of Primorska regarding their usage and attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence (AI). 105 full-time undergraduate students participated in the survey. The research on the students’ views reveals constructs regarding use, attitude, and ethical aspects and their intercorrelations. The normality of the data, the mean values, and the interpretation of the constructs, as well as the validity and correlations between the constructs, are analyzed. Also, students are recognized for their curiosity and positive attitude toward integrating AI technologies into their everyday practice and learning. Although, on average, students can relatively easily become acquainted with new AI tools, they encounter challenges when using these technologies in decision-making. The findings of the correlation analysis between constructs of usage and attitudes, conducted on undergraduate students, indicate that attitudes towards integrating AI in their everyday practice to a certain extent predict future attitudes and usage towards AI.
