Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been rapidly developing, and the issues concerning the use and implementation of AI in education and science are becoming increasingly relevant. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of introduction of digital technologies, including AI, into education largely depends on digital competence, the level of knowledge in this area, as well as the attitude of educators towards these technologies. In this regard the aim of the study was to identify the peculiarities of the attitude of students–pre-service teachers in different training fields towards artificial intelligence and their experience of its use in education. The study involved 249 bachelor students in Teacher education of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University. The study showed that, in general, students show interest in the use of digital tools for both educational and personal purposes. In teaching practice, about 40% of students have experience in using AI at the stage of planning and constructing lessons. Students from different training fields identify the benefits of using AI in different areas of education and set different goals for the use of AI in lessons design. At the same time, pre-service teachers critically assess the possibilities of AI and more than 80% of them point out possible risks in the use of AI in education. About 60% of the respondents agree on the need to adapt to changes brought on by AI. The results of the study can be used in designing the students’ curricula and planning their learning process using digital tools, including AI.
