Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education: Benefits and Limitations of AI as Perceived by Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education Teachers.
Abstract
The aim of this research has been to identify the main benefits and limitations that primary education, secondary education, and higher education teachers perceive regarding the use of artificial intelligence in education. To achieve this, a total of 276 opinions were collected from teachers currently working in educational institutions, who were asked about the benefits and limitations they considered in integrating artificial intelligence in classrooms. The results indicate that, overall, teachers perceive more limitations than benefits in the use of artificial intelligence. Among the most prominent benefits are the facilitation of tasks and access to resources. As for the major perceived limitations, they include inappropriate use and lack of critical review of the results. A correspondence analysis revealed a significant association between certain benefits and limitations based on the educational stage in which the teachers work. Finally, these results reveal a distinct perception among teachers at different stages, which implies a need for differentiated teacher training in the use of artificial intelligence according to the specific requirements of each educational stage.
