Room: (B1) Gràcia
Presentation Type:Oral Presentation
The emergence and widespread use of modern tools utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) have led to a multitude of challenges across diverse aspects of Higher Education (HE), yet we still seem to be in the initial stages of the evolution and application of AI. Thus, with the further advance of AI it requires immense effort to keep up with the pace of its development. The study explores the pedagogical impact of AI on teaching and learning, and the ethical challenges it presents to HE, as well as students’ and professors’ perceptions of using AI tools in an academic environment. The study was conducted in six Georgian universities using an online survey of two target groups: the academic staff (N: 47) and students (N:165) with a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings highlight that AI can significantly personalize learning experiences, increase engagement through interactive and adaptive content, and assist instructors in assessment. However, these benefits are accompanied by growing concerns regarding maintaining academic integrity, ensuring fair and unbiased learning environments. It is of particular significance that the results of the study revealed the lack of awareness of AI’s potential and its limitations within a pedagogical context of applying AI in the Georgian Universities. The study emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to both the educational advantages and the academic integrity associated with utilizing AI. It concludes that universities must offer frameworks for applying AI in teaching, learning and assessment, offer staff training, and engage in ongoing evaluation of AI’s impact on learning outcomes.
