The survey report “Artificial Intelligence and Education: The Views of Teachers from Asia and Europe” is based on the outcomes of the ASEFClassNet17 Open Call survey on AI and Education (AI&ED) between March – April 2024 where teachers shared their perspectives on various aspects of AI&ED. 458 responses from 47 Asian and European countries have been analysed to present the survey findings in this report.
This report aims to serve as a tool to inform relevant secondary education stakeholders about how teachers view the role of AI in Education and fears and hopes they have.
The Report Consists of 7 chapters:
Chapter 1 – Introduction: This Survey report is an outcome of the 17th ASEF Classroom Network Project (ASEFClassNet17) in 2024. To help readers understand the aim of the survey and its relevance, a brief background introduction about the ASEFClassNet project, ASEFClassNet17 project, and the ASEFClassNet17 survey on AI&ED are presented in this chapter. It provides necessary information to the ASEFClassNet project, ASEFClassNet17 project and the ASEFClassNet17 open call survey that led to the creation of this report.
Chapter 2 – Methodology and Thematic Introduction This chapter provides a brief and comprehensive overview of the survey methodology, AI and AI in Education (AI&ED) to help readers, not familiar with the concepts, understand the topic as well as the survey data and findings in this report better.
Chapter 3 – Approaches to AI and Education across Asia and Europe This Chapter of the report explores connections between AI and education across Asia and Europe by means of nine country case studies, five from Asia and four from Europe. Each case study (presented in alphabetical order) is a brief high-level analysis of publicly available documents. This allows readers to consider how their national approaches to AI and education compare with some other countries – not to rank approaches but to help start conversations about how national systems might best engage with AI&ED. The countries are Australia, China, India, Korea, Singapore from Asia and Estonia, Finland, Slovenia, and the United Kingdom based on the following three categories: the maturity of AI&ED related policies and/or practices in those countries, the mutual exclusivity of AI&ED development, and the availability of resources written for global audiences.
Chapter 4 – Survey Respondents: This chapter provides information about the survey respondents highlighting respondents’ countries, gender, institutional roles, level of internet access in institutions, subjects they teach etc.
Chapter 5 – Survey Findings (Closed Questions): This chapter presents the findings of the overall survey and critically analyses the quantitative data on various aspects of AI&ED.
Chapter 6 – Survey Findings (Open Questions): This chapter presents the findings of the open survey questions and highlights key findings from the qualitative data on various aspects of AI&ED.
Chapter 7 – Conclusion: This chapter concludes the report by highlighting the key findings and respondent teachers’ views on AI&ED as well as robustness of the survey findings.
ASEF hopes that this report will contribute to the ongoing critical conversation on capacity building of teacher and raise awareness about empowering teachers adequately for ethical and meaningful AI&ED innovation across schools in Asia, Europe and beyond.
