• Title: Generative AI Adoption in Classroom in Context of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT)
• Authors: Aashish Ghimire, John Edwards,
• Abstract summary: This study aims to dissect the underlying factors influencing educators' perceptions and acceptance of GenAI and LLMs. Our investigation reveals a strong positive correlation between the perceived usefulness of GenAI tools and their acceptance. The perceived ease of use emerged as a significant factor, though to a lesser extent, influencing acceptance.

• Abstract: The burgeoning development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs) in educational settings have sparked considerable debate regarding their efficacy and acceptability.Despite the potential benefits, the assimilation of these cutting-edge technologies among educators exhibits a broad spectrum of attitudes, from enthusiastic advocacy to profound skepticism.This study aims to dissect the underlying factors influencing educators' perceptions and acceptance of GenAI and LLMs.We conducted a survey among educators and analyzed the data through the frameworks of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT). Our investigation reveals a strong positive correlation between the perceived usefulness of GenAI tools and their acceptance, underscoring the importance of demonstrating tangible benefits to educators. Additionally, the perceived ease of use emerged as a significant factor, though to a lesser extent, influencing acceptance. Our findings also show that the knowledge and acceptance of these tools is not uniform, suggesting that targeted strategies are required to address the specific needs and concerns of each adopter category to facilitate broader integration of AI tools.in education.

  This study delves into university instructors' experiences and attitudes toward AI language models. We find no correlation between teaching style and attitude toward generative AI. While CS educators show far more confidence in their technical understanding of generative AI tools, they show no more confidence in their ability to detect AI-generated work.

  Explosive growth in big data technologies and artificial intelligence [AI] applications have led to increasing pervasiveness of information facets. Information facets, such as equivocality and veracity, can dominate and significantly influence human perceptions of information. We suggest that artificially intelligent technologies that can adapt information representations to overcome cognitive limitations are necessary.
