Abstract
The swift advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has had a substantial impact on a number of industries, including education. This study focuses on M.Ed. students’ awareness and comprehension of AI, particularly examining how they view AI’s function in the educational process. It is crucial to evaluate future teachers’ readiness to incorporate AI technologies into their teaching methods as they become more common in classrooms. Examples of these technologies include virtual learning assistants, automated grading, and intelligent tutoring systems. In order to assess M.Ed. students’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of AI in education, this study uses a mixed-method approach that combines surveys and interviews. The study identifies professional training, access to AI tools, and technological literacy as important factors influencing the adoption of AI in educational settings. The results show that although the majority of M.Ed. students are aware of AI’s potential, many do not fully comprehend its real-world applications and difficulties in teaching surroundings. Furthermore, organized training programs are desperately needed to give aspiring teachers the know-how to use AI-based teaching methods in the classroom. The study highlights how crucial it is to include AI in teacher education programs in order to adequately prepare teachers for the demands of AI-enhanced pedagogy in the future. It ends with a discussion of the possible advantages and difficulties of AI in education, along with suggestions for how educational institutions and policymakers can promote a teaching community that is more cognizant of AI.
