Abstract

In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence has become an important tool in various fields, including education. The integration of Artificial Intelligence in education promises to revolutionize teaching and learning. However, this dynamic approach has raised various reactions and concerns, especially after the advent of ChatGPT. The present study examines undergraduate students’ perceptions of the Department of Primary Education, University of Ioannina, regarding the use of ChatGPT in the educational process and as a tool for teacher utilization within classrooms. The findings revealed that the adoption of ChatGPT by the student community is still at an early stage. The research aspires to contribute to the discussion around the role of AI in education to enhance the effective integration of AI into pedagogical practice.
