Artificial Intelligence for Inclusion: Teachers’ Perceptions

Resumen

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in inclusive education, offering new opportunities to personalize teaching and respond to students' needs. This study aims to explore how teachers perceive AI in terms of usefulness, ease of use, and intention to integrate it into their teaching practice. A questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was administered to a non-probabilistic convenience sample of teachers from schools of all levels. The results show a generally positive perception of AI as a useful tool to enhance teaching efficiency and support inclusion. However, some critical issues related to ease of use emerged, suggesting the presence of barriers linked to technological familiarity. Despite these challenges, many teachers expressed a strong intention to use AI, as long as they receive adequate training. In conclusion, the study highlights an open yet cautious attitude toward AI.
