Artificial Intelligence in Educational Contexts: Teachers’ Perspectives from a Systematic Literature Review

The growing presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has been generating both new opportunities and significant challenges, particularly regarding its acceptance and integration by teachers. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of teachers from pre-primary to secondary education concerning the use of AI in educational contexts. To this end, a systematic literature review was conducted, based on 25 empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025, selected according to PRISMA criteria. The findings reveal that teachers recognize several advantages in adopting AI, particularly in relation to personalized learning, immediate feedback, and the automation of administrative tasks. However, important limitations also emerge, such as the lack of specific training, insufficient technological infrastructure, concerns about data protection, algorithmic bias, and the fear of teacher replacement. The results analysed point to the need for an integration of AI that is critical, ethical, and pedagogically grounded, centred on valuing the teacher’s role and promoting educational equity.
