Teacher Educators’ Attitude Towards and Challenges Faced in Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Teaching-Learning
Abstract
Opportunities and challenges in the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education require thorough exploration, particularly in the context of Open and Distance Learning (ODL). This study examines faculty members’ perceptions of AI's role, opportunities, and the challenges faced in its implementation to develop policy recommendations. This study utilised a qualitative case study using semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively selected participants. Data were collected through validated interview guides and analysed thematically. The results revealed that faculty perceived AI as a transformative tool that has a positive impact and ethical and practical considerations. Additionally, opportunities for enhancing learning outcomes were reiterated as well as the challenges that should be addressed when incorporating AI. This study developed policies to address these challenges, including promoting more equitable access to AI, ethical guidelines, and support for continuous professional development to enhance AI literacy, and it concluded that AI offers immense potential to revolutionise Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs), particularly within the ODL context.
