Abstract

A better understanding of educators’ perspectives of emerging education technology, specifically tools that incorporate AI, is essential to unlock the full potential benefits of these innovations. While prior research has primarily emphasized technological advancements, it has overlooked the profound influence of social, psychological, and cultural factors in shaping educators’ perceptions, trust, and adoption of educational technology. As increasingly powerful AI tools emerge, their design must be rooted in a deep understanding of educators’ needs and perspectives. It is only with the acceptance and trust of educators that these innovative solutions can elevate learning outcomes, academic achievements, and educational equity.© The Author(s) 2023.
