Higher education students’ perspectives on GenAI in learning and career futures in the Visegrad countries
Computers and Education Open
December 31, 1969
The rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in higher education has transformed how students engage with learning, prompting both enthusiasm and unease. While prior research focuses on technology acceptance using quantitative models, qualitative insights into how students interpret these tools remain limited, especially in the Visegrad Group (V4). This study employed a coordinated qualitative design, utilizing 24 focus groups with students from social sciences, education, and management programs across V4 universities.
The study aimed to map student experiences onto the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and identify necessary theoretical extensions. Inductive and axial coding was applied to analyse emerging themes. Seven thematic categories were identified: 1) AI adoption and utility; 2) output reliability concerns; 3) user skill; 4) ethical dilemmas; 5) impact on cognitive engagement; 6) the university’s role; and 7) future career implications. While several UTAUT2 constructs (e.g., performance and effort expectancy) were supported, others (e.g., social influence, facilitating conditions) were largely absent or transformed. The analysis proposes four critical theoretical extensions: Contingent Performance Trust (expanding Performance Expectancy), Epistemic Vigilance (expanding simple ease of use), Identity Negotiation (internalizing social influence), and Institutional Legitimacy (validating usage norms).
Findings suggest existing models only partially capture GenAI complexity. Students view GenAI as mandatory "career capital" yet experience deep "deskilling" anxiety. The institutional context shaped interpretations, creating an "ethical vacuum." The study calls for universities to move from passive regulation to active scaffolding, implementing prompt literacy training and process-oriented assessment.

Validity evidence regarding the use of DigCompEdu as a self-reflection tool: The case of Hungarian teacher educators
Education and Information Technologies
December 31, 1969
Digital competence is crucial for technology integration in education, with teacher educators playing a vital role in preparing student teachers for digitalized environments. In our conceptualization of teachers’ digital competence (TDC), we emphasize its embeddedness in a professional context. The Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu) framework aligns with this understanding, yet research focusing on teacher educators is limited. To address this gap, we followed a quantitative research strategy to explore different sources of validity evidence for the DigCompEdu in a small, non-representative Hungarian teacher-educator sample (N = 183) via an online questionnaire. Our study, regarding the DigCompEdu as a measure of TDC, aims to (1) establish validity evidence based on internal structure concerns via Partial Least Squares structural equation modelling to evaluate the validity and reliability of the tool, (2) compare TDC self-categorization with test results to provide validity evidence based on the consequences of testing, and (3) explore validity evidence based on relationships of TDC with other variables such as age, technological, and pedagogical competence. Our findings reveal a significant mediating effect of professional engagement on teacher educators’ ability to support student teachers’ digital competence development. Despite the sample’s limitation, this study contributes to refining the DigCompEdu framework and highlights the importance of professional engagement in fostering digital competence among teacher educators.

A mesterséges intelligencia lehetőségei és kihívásai a pedagógiai tervezés folyamatában
Educatio
December 31, 1969
Tanulmányunkban megvizsgáljuk, hogy – a mesterséges intelligencia fogalmából kiindulva –, milyen lehetőségek merülnek fel a pedagógiailag racionálisan cselekvő ágensek létrehozásában az általános pedagógiai tudás részeként értelmezett tervezés folyamatában (az óratervezés szintjén). A pedagógiai tervezés során felmerülő kihívásokon keresztül bemutatjuk az MI által biztosított lehetőségeket és kihívásokat, reflektálunk a paradigmaváltás lehetőségeire és az ebből fakadóan felmerülő új szerepekre és kompetenciákra. Két lehetséges út (generatív út – tartalom létrehozása; prediktív út – algoritmusokkal támogatott konstruktív összehangolás) mentén mutatjuk be az MI felhasználását a tervezésben. Megközelítésünkben elsősorban a tervezési kompetencia fejlesztésének támogatására fókuszálunk.

Semmi értelme tiltani Magyarországon a mesterséges intelligenciát, de amihez vezet, az nagyon veszélyes
