Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education - Impact on Teachers

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has sparked significant discussions regarding its potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods.This study examines the role of AI in education, focusing on its advantages, limitations, and the extent to which it can replace human teachers. AI has shown potential in reducing administrative burdens, providing personalized learning experiences, and offering valuable insights into student performance. However,concerns remain about its inability to replicate the emotional intelligence, creativity, and personal connections that human teachers bring to the classroom. A survey was conducted among 25 teachers to gather their perceptions of AI's role in education. Respondents evaluated AI's impact on various aspects of teaching and learning, including student engagement, accessibility, and the ability to address individual learning needs. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage and graph, to identify key trends and insights. The findings reveal that while AI is widely regarded as a valuable tool for enhancing educational processes, it is not perceived as a substitute for human teachers. Teachers highlighted the irreplaceable role of educators in fostering critical thinking, creativity, and emotional development. The study concludes that AI should be viewed as a complementary resource, working alongside teachers to create more effective and inclusive learning environments
