Perception of Primary School Teachers towards the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Teaching

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review relating to primary school teachers' perceptions of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching. AI in education refers to the use of intelligent technologies capable of supporting, analyzing, and personalizing the teaching and learning (PdP) process. This paper employs a literature review methodology by analysing previous research articles related to the use of AI in education, particularly those focusing on teachers’ perceptions. Articles were selected from relevant academic databases based on specific criteria such as year of publication, relevance of topic, and educational context. This paper explores the current state of research in this field as well as identifying knowledge gaps for future studies. The literature review shows that teachers generally have a positive perception of the capabilities of AI, but there are still challenges in terms of readiness, training, and understanding of the technology. The findings suggest that more research needs to be conducted to better understand the level of teacher acceptance, the suitability of AI applications in the classroom context, and the forms of support needed. Overall, this paper acts as a platform for future research and strategies to support the implementation of AI technology in teaching at primary school level in Malaysia.
