The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Academic and Personal Life of Pedagogy Students

Summary/Abstract: This study presents a comparative analysis focused on the use of artificial intelligence(AI) among students of Pedagogy in the Czech Republic and Poland. Theaim of the research is to compare how Czech and Polish students use AI in both theiracademic and personal lives.The research was conducted using a quantitative methodthrough a structured questionnaire (25 closed-ended questions) distributed acrossfive universities in both countries (a total of 275 pedagogy students participated inthe research, 130 from Poland and 142 from the Czech Republic) during May andJune 2025. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test of independence.The research findings show that AI has already become a common part ofacademic life for pedagogy students in both countries. The majority of respondentsreported using AI regularly, with Polish students showing a slightly higherfrequency of use than Czech students. Students most commonly use AI for informationretrieval, creating presentations, writing academic papers, translation,grammar checking, and understanding complex subject matter. Students perceiveAI as beneficial for their future professional practice, and most express an interestin further education in this area. At the same time, they are aware of the risksassociated with AI use-particularly ethical and informational risks – and in mostcases, they verify AI-generated outputs through other sources.The research also revealed differences between students in the two countries-for example, in the frequency of AI use in practical teaching, in the level ofperceived awareness, or in attitudes related to AI use (such as feelings of guilt).The conclusions of the study underscore the need for the systematic integration ofAI into education, including training on its risks, and the support for developingstudents’ digital competencies in an international context.
