How Do I Use AI in Education? Perspectives of Teachers

This paper investigates how teachers view the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational environments, including universities, further education colleges and workplace training programmes. Successful implementation of AI technologies depends on teacher attitudes and their personal experiences, because these factors determine their willingness to adopt new educational tools. This research examines teacher perspectives about AI through a survey of 27 educators, who evaluated their understanding of AI benefits and risks and their institutional backing. Results showed that teachers had knowledge about AI systems, and ChatGPT stood out as their most familiar tool, while they applied AI for creating educational materials, planning lessons and administrative work. Participants expressed concerns about academic dishonesty, false information spread, lack of creativity and an overreliance on technology. The survey results showed that 96 percent of teachers wanted better regulatory frameworks and 74 percent supported official institutional policies for AI use. Teachers demanded training programmes that would teach them both technical AI skills and ethical principles for responsible AI usage this research supports current discussions by demonstrating how institutions must create proper governance systems to enable teachers to feel confident about AI implementation. AI adoption in education needs sustainable policies, ethical frameworks and training programmes that transform teachers into active participants instead of passive technology users.
