Perception of TVET Practitioners in Pan-Commonwealth Countries on the Use of AI in the Development of OER: Prospects and Challenges
Abstract
This study examines the perceptions, challenges, and misconceptions of TVET practitioners in Pan-Commonwealth countries regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in developing Open Educational Resources (OER). While GenAI has the potential to enhance OER accessibility and efficiency, its adoption depends on practitioners’ perceptions and systemic constraints. Grounded in Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory, the study explores the adoption process of GenAI-driven OER creation, analysing factors such as relative advantage and complexity. Engeström’s Activity Theory provides a framework for examining the interactions between practitioners, AI tools, and institutional structures, identifying contradictions that influence implementation. Data were collected from TVET educators and subject matter experts in Jamaica, Kenya and Nigeria through a self-administered electronic survey. The findings offer insights into AI adoption challenges, misconceptions, and socio-technical constraints, that may inform policy recommendations and professional development strategies. This research contributes to advancing GenAI-driven OER frameworks for TVET, ensuring equitable and sustainable implementation.
