ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing elementary school teachers' utilization of AI digital tools in education and to propose policy directions for the effective dissemination of AI-based teaching. Given that the use of AI digital tools is currently limited to specific educational effects and their adoption rate falls short of expectations, this study seeks to identify key factors affecting elementary school teachers' AI digital tool utilization. To achieve this, a multivariate regression analysis was conducted using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) model. Six independent variables, were set, while three dependent variables were defined. Pearson’s linear correlation analysis was used to exclude five non-significant variable combinations, and ultimately, 13 variable combinations were analyzed through SUR individual regression and dependent variable interdependence regression analysis. The analysis revealed that teachers’ confidence and beliefs had the strongest impact on all dependent variables. Additionally, school support and teacher training were found to be significant factors in facilitating advanced learning. However, AI digital literacy and utilization skills did not directly correlate with the dependent variables, indicating that teachers' attitudes and beliefs play a more crucial role in AI digital tool adoption than mere technical proficiency. It is essential to support teachers in ways that shift their attitudes and beliefs to promote the utilization of AI digital tools. In particular, teacher training should go beyond developing technical skills and focus on fostering positive perceptions of AI usage in education. Additionally, school-level support and professional development programs should be strengthened to further facilitate advanced learning.
