Abstract. The article analyzes students‘ attitudes towards smart technologies in education. Results of a survey, held in the period September - October 2023 with 64 students, conducted on the current use of smart technologies in the educational process and attitudes towards future use are presented. The survey shows that the respondents know and use more than 10 smart technologies in their everyday life and in their education; use smart technologies in their daily life (86.08) and for entertainment, sports and in their free time (75.04), have positive attitudes towards
using smart technologies for learning (very often 35.64 and often 51.56) and attitudes
with a reflected positive tendency for social university life (from current use 0 to
attitudes to use 41.16).
The results engage the digital transformation of education with the implementation of more and different smart-technologies in the educational process. The application of smart technologies in education allows education to be digitally inclusive, personalized and much more attractive and effective for student
learners. The established attitudes of the students manifest the tracing of the path of
smart education and digital inclusive education.
Keywords: attitudes towards the use of smart devices; smart devices in higher education
