Thực trạng ứng dụng AI trong học tập và nghiên cứu khoa học của sinh viên Khoa Giáo dục Mầm non, Trường Đại học Sư phạm Hà Nội 2

Tóm tắt

In the context of digital transformation in education, developing artificial intelligence (AI) competence for future teachers has become increasingly important. However, studies on AI use among Early Childhood Education students are still limited, especially in relation to learning and scientific research activities. This study used a mixed-methods design with a quantitative approach as the main method, combining an online survey of 581 students and semi-structured interviews with 29 students to explore the current use of AI among students of the Faculty of Early Childhood Education at Hanoi Pedagogical University 2. The results show that students generally have positive perceptions of AI, although some of them still have difficulty distinguishing AI from conventional software. ChatGPT and Canva AI are the most commonly used AI tools. AI is used more frequently for learning activities such as searching for information, completing assignments, and supporting knowledge acquisition, while its use in more advanced scientific research tasks remains limited. Although students have developed some basic AI-related skills, skills related to evaluating AI-generated information, verifying information accuracy, and applying AI in scientific research still need further improvement. The findings provide practical evidence on the current use of AI among students in an early childhood teacher education program and highlight the need to strengthen AI competence, information verification skills, and awareness of academic integrity in the digital learning environment.
