Understanding teachers’ perspectives on ethical concerns and skills to use AI tools

Abstract

This poster paper explores teachers' perspectives on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in education, focusing on ethical concerns and the requisite skills for effective implementation. A survey of 48 educators from 32 countries revealed widespread familiarity with AI (92%) and personal use (85%). Ethical concerns, notably about decision control and biases, were expressed by 57.5% of participants. The majority (90%) expressed interest in AI training, highlighting a need for professional development. Educators emphasized the importance of possessing practical skills in lesson preparation, student engagement, and prompt engineering. Moreover, it is important to note that the insights presented in this study are derived from self-reported knowledge and experiences of educators, providing a subjective perspective on their engagement with AI tools in education
