Abstract

The development of technologies and solutions based on artificial intelligence offers an opportunity to help teachers and students develop and improve teaching and learning outcomes. There are many indications that software such as ChatGPT will soon become an accepted part of the technological toolset used by math teachers and students - we just need to learn how to use them safely and optimally. Integrating the use of digital technology into the teaching of mathematics at the academic level is a huge challenge. On the one hand, we have many tools at our disposal, which are often used more effectively by learners than teachers, on the other hand, shortcomings in knowledge and mathematical skills of candidates for studies require many changes in the curricula implemented in the classes. In the case of mathematics education at technical universities, this should encourage activities related to an in-depth analysis of the teaching methods used and the development of learning outcomes that will allow students not only to navigate efficiently in the digital world, but also to participate in its creation. The article presents the results of a survey conducted among first-year engineering students related to the use of applications and software supporting mathematics education. Examples of e-technologies used for learning and solving tasks by students were also shown, and certain threats and possibilities of their use were indicated. The need to modify programs and methods of teaching mathematics at the academic level was also signaled, to allow students to achieve learning outcomes with the optimal use of technology.

Keywords: mathematics education at the academic level, innovative education at the academic level, the usage of e-technology in education, methodology in academic mathematics teaching, use of AI in mathematics education
