Abstract

The progress made by artificial intelligence (AI) worldwide has led, through the Beijing Consensus, UNESCO to recommend to governments, in 2019, to include AI in educational policies and processes.While numerous studies inventory students' and teachers' opinions on the use of AI in education (AIEd), this article differs by analysing the factors that influence the behavioural intention to use AI from the training stage of future primary and secondary teachers in Romania.Through exploratory quantitative research, carried out on a sample of 270 students from the Faculty of Education, Social Sciences and Psychology, the interaction of subjects with AI and the intention of integrating AIEd are followed using binary logistic regression.The analysis conducted shows that among the six variables of the model, "the confidence in personal ability to use AI" and "the perception of a greater number of advantages" have a positive and significant impact on the willingness to use AI in the educational process, more than "being previously used", "the knowledge level" or "student requirements".These findings are of particular importance for the revision of teacher training programmes and the development of educational policies that increase the confidence of future teachers in the ability to use AI, eliminating fears or misconceptions about AI.

  • Generative AI can help boost self-efficacy for pre-service teachers by providing tools that allow for a more tailored and responsive learning experience.

    “Other studies have also suggested that gen-AI can help boost self-efficacy for PSTs by providing them with tools that allow for a more tailored and responsive learning experience (Ayanwale et al., 2024; A.-C. E. Ding et al., 2024; Samarescu et al., 2024; Sanusi et al., 2024).”

    The Conclusions say AI can support personalised learning experiences and provide future teachers with real-time teaching suggestions. They describe teachers’ confidence in using AI as a predictor of their intention to use it, not as an outcome increased by generative AI or tailored learning tools. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Pre-service teachers with higher AI literacy tend to demonstrate a higher level of autonomy in decision-making regarding how to utilise AI tools effectively.

    “PSTs with higher AI literacy tend to demonstrate a higher level of autonomy in decision-making regarding how to utilise AI tools effectively (Karahan, 2023; Samarescu et al., 2024).”

    From Mentorship in the Age of Generative AI: ChatGPT to Support Self-Regulated Learning of Pre-Service Teachers Before and During Placements (2025) · cites this paper as Samarescu et al., 2024

    The results section (‘Source: The authors’ own calculations’; page unavailable) examines knowledge of AI and willingness to use it, finding no positive effect of knowledge on that willingness. The paper does not assess whether pre-service teachers with higher AI literacy have greater autonomy in deciding how to use AI tools (searched: autonomy, decision-making, AI literacy). Willingness to use AI is not the same outcome as decision-making autonomy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
