Methodology & findings
Study design
Qualitative exploratory study using interviews and document analysis with 20 certified Indonesian primary school teachers
Sample
N = 20, 1 group
Main result
The study found that "GenAI is valued for enhancing efficiency and personalization, especially in creating worksheets, reading texts, grammar tasks, and vocabulary lists." However, "concerns emerged regarding pedagogical integration, ethical use, and lack of training," indicating that while teachers recognize AI's potential, significant barriers to effective implementation exist.
Reports effect sizes.
Research paradigm
Qualitative/Interpretivism
Author conclusions
The authors conclude that "The study underscores the urgent need for continuous, practice-based teacher training to develop AI literacy and ensure that GenAI supports, rather than replaces, instructional decision-making." This highlights the importance of proper training and pedagogical integration of generative AI in educational contexts.
