On the issue of integrating artificial intelligence into the higher education system: the opinion of teachers

Abstract

The article considers the issues of implementation and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the higher education system. The advantages of artificial intelligence in teaching and teaching students are highlighted, for example, providing prompt feedback, developing an adaptive learning trajectory, predicting academic per-formance, as well as helping teachers develop educational content and assessment materials taking into ac- count the individual characteristics of students. The purpose of the study is to identify teachers' interest in and trust in artificial intelligence technologies and tools for use in the educational process. An analysis of the current situation and the results of a survey of 111 teachers from 6 leading universities of the RK revealed several problems. The results showed that respondents understand and positively assess the potential of artificial intelligence tools, in particular the benefits of adaptive learning, but most teachers face limitations in the use of AI applications in their teaching practice, as they do not have sufficient knowledge in the field of AI. In this regard, the authors conclude the need to improve the qualifications of teachers to use AI applications. The results also confirm the need to develop a platform for implementing adaptive personalized learning in the higher education system.
