Teacher’s Readiness Level for Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) Based on Teaching Experience

TLDR

There is no significant relationship between teacher’s experience and their readiness for AI integration, which suggests that adequate AI-related training should be provided to all teachers, regardless of experience level, to ensure its effective implementation in the future.

Abstract

The integration of technology in education has become a crucial aspect in the current digital era. In Malaysia, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been emphasized in education through the recently introduced Digital Education Policy. This empirical study aims to assess the readiness level of Tamil national type primary school (SJKT) teachers in adopting AI in teaching and learning, based on their experience. A total of 86 randomly selected SJKT teachers from the Segamat district participated in this study. A descriptive and inferential survey methodology was conducted, with data collected via an online questionnaire using Google Form. The findings of this study contributed to the existing literature by addressing the gap in understanding how teaching experience influences AI readiness. Results indicate that there is no significant relationship between teacher’s experience and their readiness for AI integration. This suggests that adequate AI-related training should be provided to all teachers, regardless of experience level, to ensure its effective implementation in the future.
