Abstract

This study examines the integration of AI-powered tools in university-level British history education, focusing on critical thinking, historical interpretation, and student engagement. First-year students at the Department of British and American Studies at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava used ChatGPT, Perplexity, and HeyGen to analyse historical figures and create AI-generated presentations. Through a seminar-based workshop, students evaluated AI-generated content, verified historical accuracy, and developed digital storytelling skills.

A qualitative research approach was used, with observation sheets assessing engagement, research validation, collaboration, and argument construction. Findings show that AI tools enhanced participation and creativity but also revealed challenges in source validation and critical analysis. The study underscores the need for AI literacy training and structured reflection to ensure AI complements rather than replaces historical inquiry.
