Abstract

Smart education integrates technology into teaching and learning, which can provide challenges for both students and teachers. The aim of the study is to show the impact of intelligent education on student learning, as well as the effect it has on the teacher’s new way of teaching. The research objectives refer to identifying the risks of technology in education, as well as highlight the opportunities that pupils/students can achieve due to digitalization of education. The study is important because technology has clearly changed the approach to education in recent years. Smart education has evolved significantly in the last five years with the emergence of COVID-19, when schools and universities have had to continue their schooling using technology. The educational system, regardless of the state, has undergone changes in the institutional organization (digital equipment in classrooms) and in the organization of the teaching act (online tutoring, online courses). The study represents an in-depth analysis of a current topic, and the quantitative research is conducted with reference to fields such as sociology, political science, education, geography, psychology, and technology. In conclusion, intelligent education enters education with both risks and opportunities. It requires today's teacher to be multifunctional, both using technology, becoming creative and being a good psychologist. Nowadays, it is a big challenge for a teacher to maintain students' interest in the classroom, as they have had access to the internet from an early age and know more and more things. On the other hand, technology-enhanced learning often integrates interactive elements, which can increase student engagement and motivation. Smart education is not only about the technology used in classrooms, but also about modern teaching-learning methods and adapting teaching projects to the level of the students.
