Abstract

This research aims to capture the experiences of students of the Faculty of Education regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the academic research process, focusing on the ways and stages where AI is used, such as in writing, analysis or working with scientific literature, as well as analyzing the benefits and challenges they encounter during its use, with a focus on academic integrity and ethical issues related to the use of AI. The research uses a qualitative approach conducted through semi-structured interviews with 20 master's students from the Faculty of Education at the University of Prishtina and the Public University "Kadri Zeka" in Kosovo. The research questions aim to identify: how students use AI in research, the benefits and challenges they encounter while using it, and their thoughts on academic integrity and ethical issues of using AI. The results provide good insights into the use of AI in research, maintaining integrity and ethical issues of AI by students, contributing to the development of guidelines and practices that support the effective and ethical use of artificial intelligence in academic research.
