Attitudes of Czech and Polish Teachers Towards the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Schools

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research study was to examine the subjective feelings of Polishand Czech teachers regarding the introduction of artificial intelligence in school.The partial goal of the research study was to find out whether there is a differencebetween the views of Czech and Polish teachers on the introduction of the use ofartificial intelligence in schools.To achieve the research goal, we decided to use a qualitative research.The semi-structured interview method was used with Czech and Polish primaryand secondary school teachers.As part of the research, it was found that Czech teachers fear the adventof artificial intelligence and its use in education, especially that students will“abuse” AI to cheat and plagiarize. This phenomenon was not detected amongPolish teachers. They rather perceived artificial intelligence as a help for teachers;respondents from the ranks of Polish teachers already had their first experiencewith the use of artificial intelligence. Among Czech teachers, there are also thosewho work with chatbots and perceive them as a tool that helps them reducetheir workload and make their work more efficient. Most Czech teachers see theintroduction of artificial intelligence in schools as inevitable and realize that theirtask is to teach pupils to use AI effectively. Also, Polish teachers believe that withthe advent of artificial intelligence, the role of the teacher is changing; the teacheris expected to be a guide for the student to learn about the effective use of artificialintelligence. Teachers, both Czech and Polish, are also aware that the teachingsystem will also have to change with the arrival of AI in schools. Pupils will needto be assigned different types of tasks than before, i.e., ones that AI will not createfor them.
