САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has significant potential for raising the quality of knowledge acquired by students. Advanced AI tools provide invaluable support in their learning endeavors. This study explores the perceptions of 953 primary and secondary school students, as well as university students, regarding the integration of AI in teaching methods. The research sample consists of Serbian students: 618 primary school students from Čačak and Belgrade, 233 secondary school students from Čačak, and 102 students from the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Čačak. The authors designed a targeted questionnaire to collect relevant data. The findings reveal a significant gap in the understanding of AI from the perspectives of different groups of students, particularly concerning applications more complex than the basic tools such as chatbots. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the most common AI tools in educational environments and presents conclusions and recommendations for improving the integration of AI tools in teaching to enrich the educational experience.
