• In Event: TED - Artificial Intelligence Integration: Lessons Learned from Early Adopters in K-12 Education

Short Description

This case study investigated AI education integration barriers in South Korea from the perspectives of AI education Core Teachers. Five teachers were interviewed individually. Ertmer’s first-order (e.g., resources) and second-order (e.g., beliefs) barriers to change framework (1999) was implemented to analyze the data. Findings suggest: 1) training is essential to address first-order barriers; 2) strong teachers’ buy-in resulting in minimum second-order barriers; and 3) a new barrier evolving from a desire wanting to do more.
