Abstract

This multiple case study analyses the perceptions and attitudes of students from the Duques de Soria Campus at the University of Valladolid regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in education. A total of 25 students from the Early Childhood Education program and 53 from the Primary Education program were evaluated. Using a mixed-methods approach, two dimensions of the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp 2.2) were explored: competence 1.2, focused on the critical evaluation of data, and competences 3.3 and 5.3, related to copyright and the creative use of technology. The results show that Primary Education students evaluate information more critically, while Early Childhood Education students view AI as a creative resource. This study highlights the importance of training in digital skills for the ethical and responsible use of AI, suggesting curriculum improvements and future research directions.
