Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent in the educational system, offering new opportunities for improving learning and teaching processes. The main aim of this research was to examine the general perception of students from music academies and teacher faculties in the Republic of Croatia regarding the use of AI in music education in elementary and secondary general education schools to understand their perspectives and needs upon which educational policies and practices could be enhanced.

Key questions included analyzing students' opinions and attitudes toward AI, the usefulness and applicability of AI technologies in music education and assessing their readiness to integrate these technologies into their future professional practices. Data was collected by surveying 400 students from various institutions and different years of study. Data analysis was conducted using quantitative methods. The preliminary results revealed students' positive attitudes towards integrating AI in music education, emphasizing expectations for improving the quality of education through personalized learning and innovative teaching methods.

Thus, this research provides insight into the current perceptions of future music educators and teachers of music culture and music art regarding AI, suggesting the need to direct educational policies and curricula toward developing competences required to use and understand AI technologies in educational contexts.

Sažetak 

Tehnologije umjetne inteligencije postaju sve prisutnije u obrazovnom sustavu nudeći pritom nove prilike za poboljšanje procesa učenja i poučavanja. Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati opću percepciju studenata muzičkih akademija i učiteljskih fakulteta u Republici Hrvatskoj prema korištenju umjetne inteligencije u glazbenom obrazovanju u osnovnim i srednjim općeobrazovnim školama kako bi se razumjelo njihovo stajalište i potrebe na temelju kojih bi se mogle poboljšati obrazovne politike i prakse.

Ključna pitanja uključivala su analizu mišljena i stavova studenata o umjetnoj inteligenciji, korisnosti i primjenjivosti tehnologija umjetne inteligencije u glazbenom obrazovanju kao i procjenu njihove spremnosti za integraciju ovih tehnologija u svoje buduće profesionalne prakse. Anketnim istraživanjem prikupljeni su podatci od 400 studenata različitih ustanova i različitih godina studija. Analiza podataka provodila se primjenom kvantitativnih metoda.

Preliminarni rezultati otkrili su pozitivan stav studenata prema integraciji umjetne inteligencije u glazbeno obrazovanje ističući očekivanja o poboljšanju kvalitete obrazovanja kroz personalizirano učenje i inovativne metode poučavanja. Ovo istraživanje tako pruža uvid u trenutačne percepcije budućih učitelja i nastavnika glazbene kulture i glazbene umjetnosti o umjetnoj inteligenciji sugerirajući potrebu za usmjeravanjem obrazovnih politika i kurikula prema razvoju kompetencija potrebnih za korištenje i razumijevanje tehnologija umjetne inteligencije u edukativnom kontekstu.
