ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly played an important role in educational development in the digital era. Teachers, therefore, need appropriate knowledge and perceptions regarding the use of such technology in instructional practices. This study aimed to: 1) develop and examine the construct of a scale measuring Thai teachers’ perceptions of the use of artificial intelligence in instructional management, and 2) investigate the level of Thai teachers’ perceptions regarding the use of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. The research was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 involved instrument validation using Exploratory Factor Analysis with a sample of 353 teachers. Phase 2 examined teachers’ perceptions of the use of artificial intelligence in instructional management with a sample of 298 teachers. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that teachers’ perceptions of AI in instructional management consisted of several components reflecting different dimensions of technology integration in teaching. Overall, Thai teachers demonstrated a moderate to high level of perception regarding the use of artificial intelligence in instructional practices. The results provide useful implications for promoting the effective integration of artificial intelligence in educational settings.
