From May 4 to 6, 2025, dr. Jana Luprichová, a member of the project team representing the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia, participated in the XVII International Scientific Research Congress held in Prague, Czech Republic. The congress welcomed participants from 36 countries and provided an international platform for scholarly exchange across various thematic areas, including Social and Community Studies, Civic and Political Studies, Cultural Studies, Global Studies, Environmental Studies, Organizational Studies, Educational Studies, Communication, Natural Studies, Medical Sciences, and Agriculture.
Dr. Luprichová contributed to the congress with a presentation titled “Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Assistant in Vocational Education: Preliminary Insights from AI Tool Evaluation.” The presentation introduced the Erasmus+ funded project “Artificial Intelligence as VET Teacher Assistant,” coordinated by Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in Hungary, with partner institutions from Serbia (University of Novi Sad), Slovakia (University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava), and Germany (University of Bremen).
The presentation highlighted the objectives of the project and the outcomes of its first phase, which focused on evaluating 37 AI tools and platforms based on functionality, usability, accessibility, training availability, and other relevant criteria. Dr. Luprichová also informed participants about the ongoing development of practical guidelines and AI literacy training materials, including video tutorials, which will be made freely available to teachers and schools upon the project’s completion to support the integration of AI in vocational education.
Participation in the congress provided an opportunity to share research findings, promote the project’s objectives, and engage in meaningful exchanges with international scholars and practitioners in the field of educational innovation.
