Abstract

Teachers' Perspectives on Education in the Era of AI and ChatGPT : Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to reshape the educational environment. As technologies swiftly progress, educators are faced with the challenge of incorporating AI into their teaching practices while addressing concerns around its ethical use and teaching efficacy. This research explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, specifically ChatGPT, in education, focusing on their use by educators, perceived benefits, and challenges. As AI tools become more prevalent in classrooms, understanding how educators utilize these technologies is critical to harnessing their potential while addressing concerns. A survey of 100 educators was conducted to examine their experiences with AI, including its impact on lesson planning, student support, and administrative tasks. The study highlights the need for comprehensive professional development for teachers, the establishment of ethical guidelines, and the promotion of critical thinking and digital literacy skills among students. Additionally, the research provides insights into the future role of teachers in a world increasingly shaped by AI, with most respondents viewing AI as a tool to enhance their work rather than replace it. This research offers actionable recommendations for educators, policymakers, and AI developers, contributing to the responsible and effective integration of AI in education.
