Data on behavioural intention to use AI copilot through TAM and AI ecological education policy lens

This research presents a dataset concerning the behavioral intention to utilize AI Copilot among faculty and students at Cebu Technological University, analyzed through the lenses of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the AI Ecological Education Policy Framework. Data collection was conducted via a quantitative survey distributed electronically, targeting a broad participant that included various students and instructors from multiple academic departments and year levels. A non-probability convenience sampling method was employed, targeting students and instructors within CTU. The survey was meticulously designed to evaluate constructs aligned with the Technology Acceptance Model and the pedagogical components of the AI Ecological Policy Framework, emphasizing aspects such as perceived usefulness and ease of use. Informed consent was obtained from participants, ensuring an understanding of the study's objectives and their rights regarding confidentiality. Ultimately, 414 responses were collected, with 18 responses excluded due to a lack of variability. The dataset, predominantly featuring student responses (94 %) and a smaller faculty representation (6 %), offers insights pertinent to AI Copilot's acceptance in this academic context. This dataset boasts considerable potential for future research endeavours, including studies on technology adoption in educational institutions, comparative analyses between different settings, and the enhancement of AI tools aligned with educational practices. Researchers and policymakers can utilize these insights to inform strategies for effective AI integration in education.
